Diamond Head - A Veritable Gem

Venture to the southern coastline of O'ahu via bus or car and you'll discover Diamond Head, called "Leahi" or "brow of the tuna" by ancient Hawaiians. Diamond Head Crater, actually a 760-foot tuff crater, was originally formed over 100,000 years ago. According to local history, in the nineteenth century British sailors, upon first sighting the shimmering calcite crystals in the lava rock, mistook them for diamonds in the soil of the crater. It was declared a National Natural Landmark in 1968, and is currently one of O'ahu's most prestigious landmarks, receiving approximately 800,000 visitors per year.

An Idyllic Respite from City Life

Diamond Head offers a delightful escape from the city, and options for natural entertainment abound. Indulge in a relaxing afternoon of whale watching, stroll or jog along Diamond Head Road, enjoy a leisurely hike featuring exquisite views of Honolulu and Kahala Plain along the way, or catch a wave at Browns and Kaikoos surf break. If your tastes lean more toward creature comforts, Diamond Head is located just a short distance from Waikiki and Kahala. Magnificent beachfront estates, celebrity retreats and oceanview homes with private beach access dot the coastline.
