Diamond head is the volcano (not active) at the backdrop of Waikiki. There are many things you can do around it. It is about a 15-25 minute walk from our condo. There is the diamond head hike that is good for all levels of hiking although note that it does get pretty crowded and it can also be really hot between 10am-3pm. Recommend early morning for sunrise. If you want to get away from the busier beaches of Waikiki, Diamond head beach is a very peaceful place to post up for the day. There is an intermediate surfing spot and some snorkeling, but please note that you need to be aware of ocean conditions as it can get very dangerous if you go out when the swell is big. It is recommended to go in the morning or around 4pm-sunset as mid day it can get very windy.

Tikis is a great place for dinner and drinks. They are famous for their Tiki cocktails and if you get there for lunch, late afternooon, it is easy to get the view that overlooks the ocean. They also have live music every night I believe.

Shopping
If youʻre into shopping and malls, Ala Moana is one of the best open aired malls to visit. Iʻm not one for malls, but I have to say this is probably the best one Iʻve ever been too.

Waikiki is walkable
Our neighborhood in Waikiki is very walkable and its recommended that you do the same. Street parking is tough to come by. We do have an off street parking spot and also have a car available for rent if interested. If our car is not rented though we would need to keep our vehicle parked in the spot.
