There are also over 170 steps that your parents will be required to climb. You can visit the Diamond Head information and facts page at http://www.sharinghawaii.com/attractions/oahu-land-activities/diamond-head-state-monument for more info. There are plenty of other scenic locations on Oahu that are more accessible to the elderly, such as the Pali lookout.

From there you can see a panoramic views of Honolulu, Diamond Head, KoKo Head, the wide Pacific Ocean and more - its windy so hold onto your hat =) Aloha!<br><b>References : </b><br>www.hawaii.com I’m sorry but Diamond Head is just not accessible, there are a lot of stairs (99+) and the passages are narrow, so Diamond Head simply won’t work
