Hiking
The English name comes from the 19th century, when western explorers mistook the calcite crystals in the rock for diamonds. The crater was formed by an eruption around 300,000 years ago. A hike up to the edge of the crater is highly recommended. From above you have a fantastic view of Honolulu and the Pacific Ocean.
