Oahu: Diamond Head Cruise with Drinks & Appetizers

2.Diamond Head Cruise with Drinks & Appetizers

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 324 reviews · from $108

Sail from Honolulu to Diamond Head at sunset with two cocktails, local food, Waikiki views, and a chance to see the green flash.

“The only thing not mentioned in the ad was that shoes are not worn on the boat. This was not an issue for us, but it could be for someone else potentially. The crew was awesome. Very personable and made us feel very welcome and cared for. Great value for the cost. Two cocktails plus what ended up being a small dinner! Very nice! The ride was a lot of fun!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 223 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $39

Diamond Head shuttle from Waikiki with park reservations included, free time for a self-guided hike, summit views, and round-trip transport.

“We were given the wrong meeting time for our shuttle pickup. It's not a two and a half hour tour It's 3 hours. We spent $40.00 in a taxi chasing down the " included " shuttle. Then at drop off the driver dropped off the riders in a different order so we had to take an Uber back, which is what we should have done to begin with.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 212 reviews · 1 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $8Best value

Review of Diamond Head’s $8.99 narrated audio hike, with practical advice on entry tickets, parking, timing, value, and summit views.

“We were headed up to Diamond head and heard we needed tickets for entry. We thought this was it- it was not. You buy Diamond head tickets right from their site. We are going back but this tour was worthless because we couldn’t get I . I know it was part my error for not reading g carefully but it felt deceptive. I inquired about a refund but h e not checked email to see if I have received one. We haven’t used the your because we were t able to enter.”
