Maunakea es un lugar célebre e histórico en las tradiciones culturales de Hawai'i. Si bien es el lugar de residencia de la diosa Poli'ahu, también se asocia con las deidades hawaianas Lilinoe y Waiau. La cumbre se consideraba el reino de los dioses y en la antigüedad era kapu (prohibido) para todos menos para los jefes y sacerdotes más altos. De vez en cuando, la hawaiana Ali'i (realeza) hacía la larga caminata hasta la cima, siendo la última visitante real la reina Emma en 1881, quien condujo a sus compañeras en el arduo viaje de 6 horas hasta la cima para ver la cima y rejuvenecerse en el sagrado lago Waiau. . La montaña blanca Leyendas de la Montaña - Poli´ahu Si bien hoy en día Maunakea alberga 13 observatorios internacionales y recibe miles de visitantes cada año, sigue siendo un lugar sagrado para la gente de Hawai'i. El cuarto sábado de cada mes, MKVIS recibe a oradores de la comunidad que hablan sobre Mauna O Wakea desde una perspectiva cultural.

Wonderful, amazing and fun experience! We had a great time and our guide Kela was so fun and told us the best cultural history of the island. She was so fun and made the trip up and down the mountain so enjoyable. We loved hearing about her family name and history! Tay did an amazing job with the stars and was so much fun to listen to. He was SO knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the night sky and the historical navigation techniques used in ancient times. LOVED this trip. Worth every penny!
Family bucket list that exceeded expectations. Chris and Tay were so knowledgeable and willing to share their experiences. I will never look at a night sky again without remembering what I learned that night. Mahola
Amazing tour. Our guides Chris and Kela were super friendly and very knowledgeable. Loved hearing Kela's stories about growing up on the island.
We had Chris and he was very knowledgeable and funny!! We had a great experience. One of our guest was showing signs of elevation illness and he genuinely cared about their wellbeing and ensured everyone was enjoying themselves. It is very cold!! Make sure you bring layers. The coats they provided were very cute and warm. Perfect for the pictures! Highly recommend!!
This is great tour if you want to not only see sunset at the summit but see some amazing stars at night and even some thru a telescope. John our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he wasn't rushing us from place to place. Highly recommend this tour group. Snacks were good too.
End to end a fun experience. Our guides and drivers were outstanding.
This was a fantastic tour- the guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared both historical and current insights as we made our way up and then down Mauna Kea. The 14k foot altitude did make it harder to breathe but the view of the gorgeous sunset above the clouds and the fascinating observatories on the top of the volcano made it completely worth while. The parkas provided as loaners were nice and warm too so we could stay outside longer when viewing the Milky Way and stars. Overall an unforgettable experience!
Great experience - very knowledgeable and friendly. We ran into some mechanical issues with the van, but they handled it like champs, got us taken care of and we didn't miss a thing. Highly recommend - but definitely bring pants as their coats are warm but not enough to cover your legs.
The guides were excellent. Kela kept us going with commentary during the drive and took many photos. Troy was incredible running the telescope for our stargazing. The warm clothing provided did the job and kept us comfortable during the chilly evening. Highly recommend to any astronomy fans, or just anyone who wants a great memory that you don't get anywhere else.
My best friend and I did this Mauna Kea tour and it was the most breathtaking and awe inspiring tour we’ve ever done. Our guide, John, was very passionate and knowledgeable about the mountain and his expertise with astronomy was unexpectedly incredible. Every step of this tour was thoughtfully curated and the John expertly delivered an unforgettable experience. The sunset at the summit was the most beautiful sunset in all of hawaii. I forgot to dress warm (it’s Hawai’i) but thankfully this company provided warm jackets that made the cold seem nonexistent. They also provided hot water for tea and hot cocoa which was the perfect touch while learning about stars and constellations from our guide. I didn’t think anything could top seeing manta rays in Kona, but this tour went above and beyond our expectations. We will be visiting big island again next year and will be doing this tour again. Request John as your guide if you want the best experience possible!
