What You Will See on the Waikiki Diamond Head Segway Tour

The glide passes a glimpse of Honolulu Zoo, then enters Kapiolani Park. The park was created by King Kalakaua and stockholders as an exclusive residential district with a horse track in 1876.

It was named for Queen Kapiolani, King Kalakaua’s wife. From there, the tour climbs Diamond Head Road past fine estates toward the lighthouse.

The Diamond Head Lighthouse first lit in 1899, and today’s tower dates to 1917. At the Amelia Earhart Lookout, views stretch across Koko Head Crater, Molokai, and Maui.

The Ride Back Along Queens Beach Promenade

After the lookout, the return passes historic cottage homes along Coconut Avenue. The route continues past the Natatorium War Memorial and the Waikiki Aquarium.

The glide then follows the Queens Beach Promenade back into Waikiki, closing the loop with ocean views all the way.

Great Hawaii Tour recommends the Waikiki Diamond Head Segway Tour on a clear morning, when the Waikiki Diamond Head Segway Tour lookout shows Molokai and Maui sharpest across the water.
