Maunakea Stellar Explorer HILO
Beskrivelse
For en ud af denne verden oplevelse, tjek Maunakea Stellar Explorer fra KapohoKine Adventures. Dette spændende eventyr er den eneste Big Island stjerne tur, der omfatter nat astronomisk observation OG sikker dag sol observation med alle aldre velkommen! Vores interne stjerneforskere er de bedste og mest erfarne i Hawaii med en, der har skabt Mauna Kea besøgende center og har drevet det i et årti. Andre medarbejdere har skrevet bemærkelsesværdige artikler og anmeldelser for velkendte astronomimagasin og har arbejdet på observatorier i verdensklasse. Denne tur besøger ikke Maunakeas top eller besøgende center af respekt for indfødte hawaiianere.

Rejseplan
Start dit eventyr i den maleriske by Hilo, hvor du kører langs den historiske havnefront, før du ankommer til Rainbow Falls. Dette ikoniske vandfald lige ved siden af et postkort har et 80 fots højt dobbelt vandfaldssystem. Se efter regnbueeffekten, der giver vandfaldet sit navn!
Fortsæt med at rejse op ad Wailuku-floden til kogepotter. Her finder man ofte imponerende fotomuligheder, når floden “koger” gennem depressioner i klipperne.
Udforsk Kaumana Caves, en del af lava-rørsystemet, der bragte lava 1,5 miles fra Hilo-byen i 1881. Tag et kig ind i den domkirkelignende plads, inden du tager en hurtig frokost i picnic-stil oven på hulerne.
Din guide fører dig til et af vores foretrukne placeringer på Mauna Kea til stjernetid om natten. Du vil observere dyb himmel og planetariske genstande gennem et stort dobsonisk teleskop med åbning under en af de mørkeste og mest uberørte himmel på planeten Jorden! Vores Dobsonian-teleskoper er en sand purists oplevelse af at se nattehimlen. Deres hurtige fokusforhold giver dig mulighed for at se spredte vidtfladebilleder af objekter, der simpelthen ikke er mulige med de typer teleskoper, der bruges af andre ture. Afhængigt af hvad der er synligt i den nuværende himmel og vejr, der tillader det, vil du observere galakser, tåge, stjerneklynger, planeter, dobbeltstjernersystemer, månen og meget mere; alle højdepunkter og showpiece-objekter, som du aldrig har set før!
Derefter rejser du over Saddle Road mellem Mauna Kea og Mauna Loa, to af de højeste og mest massive vulkaner på Jorden. Din træne guide til National Park Service vil drøfte vulkanologien, geologien og historien med disse monstrøse vidundere samt give en dybdegående fortælling om de forskellige lavastrømme og flora og fauna, som du vil forbi. Mens du indtager den betagende landudsigt, forbereder din guide nogle himmelske udsigter lige så fantastisk. Opsætning af et moderne solteleskop til din oplevelsesglæde, din specielt uddannede guide giver dig sikkert mulighed for at se solen komme i live i ægte farve med livlige solfakler, solflekker, prominenser og enhver anden aktuel aktivitet, hvis vejret tillader det.

This was such a fun and incredible experience. Sam was the best tour guide , very knowledgeable and fun.
Our guide Sam was fantastic. We particularly appreciated his deep knowledge of the cultural history of Hawai'i, and of the ecology and geology of the Big Island. The stargazing component was amazing, Sam talked us through so many aspects of the night sky. We highly recommend this tour!
Tori and Sass were amazing guides. Tori was very knowledgeable with all the stars and geology of the area. Sass was great listening to our 13yr old son talk her ear off and knew a lot of the history in Hawaii. We had a clear night with all the stars out and Tori had her telescope that really enhanced the experience.
I'm a little disappointed with this trick. We did not mount Maunakea as described in the description. We put 3 stars for the guide, Sam, who still put stars in our heads.
Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Trip includes some interesting site in town and then took us to star gazing site. He knew a LOT about stars. We had a good site to see sky
Great tour. Rich was an amazing guide. Very nice and knowledgeable. Rainbow falls and boiling pots was nice, it was raining heavily at these 2 locations which kind of added to the appeal for me (bring a poncho and good non slippery shoes for such a rainy day). We did not do solar gazing, just stargazing. We saw stars, the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, star clusters, Orion Nebula and andromeda galaxy with the telescope. It was great. The location of the stargazing was amazing too.
A great experience to see the night skies high above mountain with minimal lights around. Presenter through explaining the stars.
ERIC IS AMAZING. STELLAR (pun intended) he was soooooo knowledgeable and was extremely patient. We had the most wonderful clear night (not in his control but a bonus!). We really enjoyed conversing with him around astronomy and Hawaiian culture. I would 1000% recommend a tour with him!
Amazing experience. Rich was great as our guide. Very knowledgeable. Kept us entertained the whole time. Whole tour was great but seeing the stars was breath-taking. Rich pointed out many constellations and showed us nebula and galaxies. I would highly appreciate
Guide was nice but I think it’s way over priced, they should also make it clear in the listing that they won’t be taking us to summit but will go to below the visitor center. It’s an easy drive of 45 min from Hilo and if you have rental car you can just drive there
