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.

Phenomenal experience - the tour guides were so knowledgable and the views were out of this world. Highly recommend
This adventure was incredible and well worth it. Jon and Auki were such awesome tour guides and very knowledgeable. Even Anna our transport driver was a delight. It was an unforgettable experience. Our guides answered questions, gave history, and made sure all guests were comfortable with the altitude as we were climbing to the top of the world. The sunset was unbelievable, truly a once in a lifetime experience to see it above the clouds. Then the stargazing began. Jon and Auki were very informative about constellations, astronomy, and some great Hawaiian stories. This tour is well worth it!
Great experience on Mauna Kea with an expert guide Tay, well versed in history as well as astronomy. The views of our galaxy and beyond through the powerful telescope set up by our guide were marvellous
Fantastic experience - really informative guides that gave a great joint presentation on the night sky. Also lovely opportunity to take sunset pictures at the summit.
The sunset and the stars are both extremely beautiful. I absolutely love them. I highly recommend that you must go and see them. The scenery along the way is also breathtaking. However! After the last toilet, please remember not to drink any more water because there won't be any toilets for the next three hours. There will be one toilet when going down the mountain, but it will be very dirty and there won't be any place to wash your hands. My pants got stained with someone else's urine.
Amazing. Our guide was spectacular. The sunset of course didn’t disappoint, but the wow was our guide’s knowledge of the importance of Mauna Kea in Polynesian culture, his knowledge of the stars and the sky, and his knowledge of how the two meet. Simply amazing.
What an incredible opportunity to see our beloved Mauna Kea for the very first time. Our host, Chris, was funny, knowledgeable, and made the time spent with everyone a comfortable one. If you are a seeker of nature and knowledge, and have always wanted to capture unforgettable photographs with insane views, look no further. In this little adventure you'll be under endless stars and planets, learning about the constellations all while drinking a hot beverage and making unforgettable memories that'll last more than a lifetime.
Incredible experience! On the day of our trip it was cloudy and rainy all day long at our hotel so I was really worried so ai called the tour operator directly. They answered the phone immediately and sent me a link to the summit webcams and weather forecast for that night which showed clear skies. Sure enough once we got through the clouds to the summit it was perfectly clear. We saw an amazing sunset and an unreal amount of stars. The pictures they gave us were really cool too. The operators are so careful to make sure no one gets altitude sickness. I wouldn’t want to try this adventure on my own.
My son and I took this tour just a week ago. It was amazing! The directions were clear for pick up location and time. The bus getting to the base of the mountain was comfy, and the 4x4 bus we took up Mauna Kea was also very comfortable. Our guide, John, was amazing. He let us all introduce ourselves and shared his knowledge of Mauna Kea with us as we traveled up the road to the summit. We were able to get out at the visitor center to acclimate to the elevation for about 30 min. Then we continued up the road. We made it to the summit in time for sunset, which was breathtaking. We then stayed near the summit for stargazing. John provided nice coats, snacks and hot chocolate while we were watching the stars. We were able to see stars we had never seen before, including the Southern Cross. John had tons of knowledge on Polynesian navigation, and demonstrated how stars were used to explore. Through the telescope we got to see another galaxy that is millions of light years away. They also provided pictures of the entire evening for us to download and share. Such a great experience.
What an amazing experience!! Our guide Tay and John were very passionate educators and it was a delight to spend some time with them getting acquainted with the stars.
