Referred to as Lēʻahi by the natives, the Diamond Head Hike is Hawaii’s most popular hike route. This is because the route provides one of the most awe-inspiring panoramic views of Oahu.
It also has one of the most breathtaking views, looking out on Makapuu Beach, the windward coast, and Koko Head, along with Lanai and Molokai, the neighboring islands.
This easy hike is known for its spectacular views off the coast of Kailua of the “Twin Islands” or “The Mokes.” The large island is called Moku Nui, and the small island is called Moku Iki.
Found within the little village of Hauula, this trail is relatively hidden but well-preserved. This trail length of 2.5-mile hike takes hikers up 800 feet in elevation through lush, verdurous forests.
