Dentist at Large – Diamond Head at Dawn – Part 5

November 4, 2024

Managed to get the car back to rental place, but trying to fill up a car at Hawaiian petrol station when you are already under the pump!  

Sleep in? You’re kidding! Up at 5am for a steep walk, climb ladders, to get to the highest peak edge of a dormant volcanic crater called Diamond Head, for dawn at 6am.

At Diamond Head Peak at Dawn worth the lack of sleep

The peak is situated at a point of the island, so spectacular views of Waikiki beach, the crater itself, and the ocean.

Looking back to inside the dormant volcanic crater - very dry!

Defence crater base Diamond Head

It was a military base with hidden tunnels within crater wall, created to defend against the Japanese in World War II. It has an observation post cut into the cater just below the peak and a nearby helipad.

Plenty of day ahead before it gets hot

Back down, all before breakfast. So, what’s next… Pokémon!
