Come experience the most famous volcanic crater in the world, Oahu's Mount Leahi, better known as Diamond Head! This famous natural landmark received its nickname in the early 1800's when British sailors mistakenly thought that the sparkling calcite crystals embedded in the lava rocks were actually diamonds.
Located along the southeast coast of Hawaii's island of Oahu, and just a hop, skip and a jump from world-famous Waikiki beach, Diamond Head Crater has long been a defining feature among local residents and visitors alike. Measuring over 3,500 feet in diameter, and with a height of 760 feet at its summit, Diamond Head is easily recognizable, and has become the "black mountain" featured in many TV shows and movies, such as "LOST" and the more recent "Hawaii Five-O."
At the base of Diamond Head is an easy to moderate in intensity, 1.4 mile hike that leads to the very edge of the crater's rim, offering a breathtaking and unrivaled view of the island's captivating coastline! As your expert guide leads you every step of the way, you will learn interesting information about the crater's geology, history, archaeology, flora and fauna! Even experience history up close and personal as you travel through the old World War II 100-foot tunnel! Location: Diamond Head, South Oahu
