We were picked up on time by a friendly driver who explained everything we needed to know regarding our hike. He was right on with his explanation. We walked along with several others up the trails which we easy then got to some of the curves and switchbacks where the footing was a little difficult. Be sure to wear good tennis shoes or hiking boots not sandals or heels for this hike. We came to a series of steps that were steep then into a tunnel that was a few minutes long. Outside the tunnel there were 2 routes to the top. One set of steps much steeper than the other but can stop and rest along the way if needed. Once on the top the views were spectacular and well worth the climb. I'm 65 years old and have 3 stents in my hear and made this "moderate " hike with only a few stops. There are some rough areas in this hike so people with walkers, wheel chairs and buggies will not make it. We will definitely do this event next time we're in Hawaii. We did the hike up to the top, looked around for 15-20 minutes and hiked back down in 1 - 1/2 hours.

The tour bus picked us up at our hotel on time and were very friendly. He provided us with local information along the way. The hikes at both Diamond head and Manoa Falls were spectacular. This tour is one that can't be missed!

What an absolute blast! This was the family's favorite excursion out of the many we had over the course of 10 days. Very friendly and very helpful in other areas of the island. Our ages ranged from 16 to 66 and they ALL loved it! Easy to learn and maneuver. Great orientation to learn how it works on each person. Thank you for the wonderful ride and beautiful sunset!!!!

First time to do a segway tour. Staff was great. They take the time to make sure you know how to ride the segway before heading out on the tour. Really liked that group sizes are small to allow for personal interaction with guide and have more of conversation rather than being talked at. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and took the time to take photos for us at the scenic spots. Overall great experience.

Great to have a ride there and back to our hotel and water provided. Way too much time left in the park though. Our entire group was done the hike in about an hour and had to wait another hour and a half for him to return.

Amazing & would highly recommend this hike! We were originally scheduled to do the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail as well, but unfortunately they closed the trail a few days before we arrived. We were notified by the tour company in plenty of time & just went on the hike to Diamond Head. We were refunded the difference & everything else went off without a hitch. We were a little confused about the pick up location, but the driver took the time to call us & guide us to the right area. Job well done guys! Mahalo!

wow! Cannot even describe the experience we had.... I really wanted my mother to enjoy this the most and it was great! Although she could not make the hike (because of knee surgery) she had a blast and patiently waited for me to tour and get the pictures for her to cherish.... The hike is a challenge for people with balance issuees, walking, and stairs!!!!! When you climb, you climb but overall we had a perfect and safe trip to this landmark that will be cherished!!!!

We enjoyed this hike very much. The shuttle pick up from our hotel was great, as we did not have a rental car. The driver was kind and helpful, even though we did have trouble understanding him at times. He was on time for pick up at our hotel and on time for pick up after the hike.

We had 6 people in our group, adults in 40's, 18 yr old, and kids ages 12 and 14. This activity was fun for all and very much enjoyed. It was a great way to start off our trip in Waikiki and get a tour of the area. Our guides provide a lot of info about the area. Young kids (really all) need to have good balance and a sense of adventure. Mine were fine, however I can see this being difficult for young teens who are not often on bikes, skateboards, scooters, snowboards, etc. If you are comfortable on those, riding the segway is easy to pick up and a lot of fun. If you are not, it would be more difficult, so maneuvering a crowded sidewalk and crossing streets could be problematic.

It was our first time trying the segway. The instructors were patient. The tour guides were very friendly. We enjoyed our tour.
The only setback was the gratuity. As it was black and white on the confirmation that the payment already included tour, instruction, guide, tax and gratuity. We did not mind giving our guides some extra tips, however, demanding additional 15% on what we paid was too much.

I am a repeat customer--- I had a blast a few years back with this Segway tour so I thought my wife and two teens would enjoy it as well. Man, did they ever love it. First class operation and they do spend some time going over safety procedures. After that , off we went and my family were pros in no time. We had a great guide named Connie and this will definitely be on our list of things to do when we return to Honolulu. A definite must if you are thinking about it. Aa+++

It good. However, we didn't really hear the history of the diamond head. Unless we just have to read the posters. The guy at the gate was screaming at everyone bec they have to pay for the entrance fee. If I didn't tell him i got the package deal from this webstie he would have double charged me. They need to come-up with another system collecting entrance fees.

After several trips to Oahu and never having the opportunity to hike Makapu'u since I don't rent a car and the nearest bus stop is over a mile from the trailhead, I was happy to see Kaimana Tours offering transportation from Waikiki hotels to the trailhead.
As the only person taking the tour that day, I was put on a shuttle with a group headed to Hanauma Bay. Pickup from my hotel was prompt, the driver was both professional and entertaining, and pickup from the trailhead was efficient (all I had to do was call the office when I finished the hike, and the driver was there within 10-15 mins)!
As for the hike itself, it is actually a walk on a paved, slightly inclined one mile-ish road. The sights were beautiful all the way to the top, and people of all activity levels should be able to handle this without any issues.
All-in-all, Kaimana Tours delivered an A+++ experience, and I hope to partake in their other tour offerings the next time I'm in Oahu!

I HIGHLY recommend taking this tour!
Our guide was quite knowledgeable, hilarious, and all-around fun! The segways are incredibly easy to get the hang of, and we were zoomin' on the beach in no time!
I also recommend wearing shoes with arch supports, as you're in "balance mode" most of the time and your feet will definitely feel it after a few minutes.
Simply put: TAKE THIS TOUR! INCREDIBLE! :-)

My partner and I found the Segways to be incredibly easy to learn to ride.
Our guide Mike was very knowledgeable and his running commentary throughout the tour was very informative. The parts of Honolulu covered by the tour range from historical, social, tv show sets and sports so there is something for everyone.
We would highly recommend the tour to everyone except young children, unless there is a kids trailer for Segways, as the Segways are so easy to ride.
