Super crowded the day we went, we did not heed the advice of the travel book that said to go early. Walking in is an option, IMHO, Hawaii needs to get rid of cars going in, establish a parking area and shuttle everyone in in electric shuttles...
I hiked up Diamond Head and enjoyed it so much, definitely a highlight of my trip! It was a quick and inexpensive Uber trip from the Rainbow Tower.
Couldn't get into parking lot at 9:30am because it was already full. Told to try again in the afternoon. Get up early to make this hike.
Great hike to the top. Bring plenty of water for the hike (and them some more). Views from the top were incredible.
Take the City Bus to the stop at the bottom of Diamond Head park and hike to the entrance for an extra work-out.... or pick up an Uber/Lyft from the Zoo to the entrance for under $10. Bring a water bottle and wear good shoes. There are a LOT of stairs and it's a good 2 mile hike uphill, so those with mobility issues should be aware.
