Rip off

KEVIN_S, May 2024

You scammed us, I was told we bought the hike with headsets, when we arrived the gatekeepers informed us the vouchers were only for headsets !! We had to payagain for the actual hike. I demand a refund as we cancelled the headsets..I will post a very negative review if viator !!!!

Not enough communication

Leisa_B, Apr 2024

We were unable to go Due to no information from Viator that we would still need to reserve through Diamond Heads website for entry into the park.

Diamond Head - Wow!

Michael_D, Apr 2024

The history and insights about the crater! Everything from the plants, habitat to the cultural connection to the islands history. Really interesting!

Worth it but not through the website

Victoria_G, Mar 2024

The low star reviews were correct, I purchased through Viator and I showed the attendant and she immediately told me no and showed me their website to purchase the tickets through (very kind!) I spent money and then walked from the beginning of the tunnel when people who bought directly from the website had the option to park there. Recommended trip But not through this website

The hike was really fun- going up was much easier than going down. Weather was perfect with wind and sun but not too hot.

Boris_L, Mar 2024

Poor explanation of product. Didn’t get to diamond head. Never will use again. Wouldn’t recommend to nobody

Quick response to request for refund.

Gldowney, Mar 2024

I wasn’t able to visit Diamond Head on the day I had tickets for the tour. I applied for a refund and received it within 24 hours. Bravo to Viator!

Don’t miss experience while in Honolulu

Ron_S, Feb 2024

The view from the summit of the crater was amazing. It was well worth the rigorous climb up the steep sloping trail.

Beautiful awesome breathtaking

MaryLou_D, Feb 2024

Awesome experience! The climb was fun and a little challenging for us over 65. Would do it again next time

The family fun hike.

Martin_G, Feb 2024

Great hike, I liked the gradation from beginning to top. There was a lot of people. Many don’t care about the rules which makes it difficult sometimes. People walk side by side or bring strollers..

Challenging but worth it

Rita_L, Jan 2024

The view on the top of the mountain was awesome ……………………………… We were not given the audio narration unfortunately

Scenic hike though the...

Jeanine_C, Jan 2024

Scenic hike though the trail was very crowded in some spots. Incredible views. We loved the experience!

Diamond Head

arnoldebr, Jan 2024

We did it to the top and views were spectacular! Not an easy trek, wear good sneakers, plenty of water and start when opened! Gets hot and crowded.

Waste of time

Harry_L, Jan 2024

We got up at five in the morning and went to the park at six but they would not let us in because they said we booked a narrated tour even though it said Diamond Head hiking tour, we were not allowed access to the park they said come back at 7:30

Viator: bringing customer service to new lows.

Christian_M, Dec 2023

Viator is garbage. You can't even gain entry to do the tour. Worst customer service for 2023 which is truly saying something. Do not just stay away from this tour, stay away from anything to do with Viator.

Maravilloso

Delia_G, Dec 2023

The view from the entrance all the way to the top was unforgettable, extraordinary, peaceful and beautiful

QVC code didn’t work.

mary_b, Dec 2023

I have customer service working on my problem. The Hawaiian Park refused to accept the QVC code from your company. I had to purchase 2 additional tickets from them.

Too hot for a hike

Denise_C, Nov 2023

How much I was sweating, and how much more difficult it was than I thought it would be. Be warned, this is not for anyone who has difficulty walking, or the elderly.

We didn’t used the...

Jose_D, Oct 2023

We didn’t used the tickets. Unfortunately I made a mistake and purchase these tickets thinking it was for the actual entrance to go up and hike. Can you please refund me the money for the tickets. Thank you in advance

Fabulous views

Harriett_W, Oct 2023

Very Challenging for me but so worth it! I am so happy I had this experience. Very difficult at points. Wear a hat and bring water.
