点评:This experience was worth every drop of sweat and mud on my shoes. The breathtaking views at the top of Diamond Head are well worth it. I personally would encourage those that want to have this experience to book the 6-8am time slot directly from the Hawaii State website.
What is nice about the 6-8 am time slot is the following:
1. There is a large population of folks entering at the same time. While it is dark, plenty have flashlights and headlamps to guide the path. We used each other as motivation to make the trek.
2. It takes 30-40 minutes to get to the top of you move at a casual pace. Doing so allows you to get into position for the sunrise.
3. As of December 2025, sunrise is at 7am. This allows you to get some brilliant photos and videos.
**** Be mindful of the bugs at the top of the volcanic crater. Im still itchy four days later. Maybe wear long sleeves****
4. The trek down is in the sunlight and allows you to take your time and grab photos you would t have been able to get on the way up.
I enjoyed this hike. It was moderate in difficulty due to the recent abundance of rain. However, I would do it again in a heartbeat. Wear waterproof shoes and be mindful of the uneven terrain.
翻译:这次体验绝对值得我汗流浃背、鞋底沾满泥泞。钻石头山顶的壮丽景色令人叹为观止,绝对不虚此行。我个人强烈建议想要体验的人直接在夏威夷州政府网站上预订早上6点到8点的时段。
早上6点到8点这个时段的好处如下:
1. 这段时间人很多。虽然天还黑着,但很多人都带着手电筒和头灯照明。我们互相鼓励,坚持完成了这段旅程。
2. 如果以轻松的步伐攀登,大约需要30到40分钟就能到达山顶。这样你就能找到最佳的日出观赏位置。
3. 从2025年12月起,日出时间是早上7点。这让你有机会拍摄到一些精彩的照片和视频。
**** 注意火山口顶部的蚊虫。我四天过去了,身上仍然感觉很痒。或许可以穿长袖****
4. 下山的路程阳光明媚,您可以悠闲地欣赏美景,拍下上山时无法捕捉到的照片。
我很喜欢这次徒步旅行。由于最近雨水充沛,难度适中。不过,我肯定会毫不犹豫地再去一次。建议穿防水鞋,并注意崎岖不平的路面。
