The sign at the bottom of Diamond Head park says it takes about an hour and a half to hike up to the peak... that must include so many stops though, it only took me about 25 minutes to get to the top. Admittedly, it is very steep in some parts and untrained people need to catch their breath. Also, the path is at times so narrow that it is difficult passing people coming the opposite direction. The views up top are just stunning. On one side it is the beach and skyline of Waikiki and Honolulu and on the other side Koko head that looks like a whale in the water.
Behind that whale is Hanauma bay. A beautiful beach and snorkeling ground. Further out the sea is a bit rough, but in the bay, the water is very calm and if one is lucky, a turtle swims by (I wasn't lucky...).
