Not all of Honolulu is hi-res yet, but check out Diamond Head State Monument, which appears to be, er… inside an old volcano?

    Yes, Diamondhead park is inside of Diamondhead Crater. It’s the big “mountain” you see at the right end of the shots of the Honolulu beaches. You can take a hike up the inside rim to the top of the caldera and look over the edge, it’s a great place to visit if you are ever there.

    Lowlevel is correct. There’s a 1.5 to 2 mile hike that you can take up the side of the crater. There are bunkers on the top rim (lower left side of the crater in the map) that look out over the ocean. I lived there for 8 years (on Oahu, not the bunker :) ) and it is absolutely gorgeous from up there. Here’s more information about the park.

    in addition to the old bunkers and the hike to the top, Oahu Civil Defense has several bunkers located underground the crater! ive been there on a couple of occasions, in fact, OCD has utilized several WW2 bunkers and turned them into shelters and command posts for disasters and such,
