NEW State Park Reservation System
Posted on Apr 27, 2022Reservation systems implemented on Kaua‘i, at Hā‘ena State Park and on Maui at Waiʻānapanapa State Park, have improved the quality of visitor experiences and have reduced impacts on adjacent communities and park resources. Diamond Head State Monument will be the 3rd State Park to integrate a reservation system. Beginning April 28th visitors could book parking and entry reservations up to 14 days in advance for Diamond Head State Monument. Starting May 12th, all non-residents will need a reservation to enter Diamond Head State Monument. Hawaiʻi residents continue to enjoy free access without reservations, but vehicular entry may depend on parking availability. Commercial tour and trolley patrons must have a reservation. Registered PUC carriers will have access to a PUC-only reservation portal.
Visit our GoStateParks.hawaii.gov website for more information on park reservations.
