ハワイ島GOAT体験：マウナケアサミット、サンセット＆星空

Despite the extremely rare cloud activity, our tour guides went out of their way to find us a clear night sky for stargazing. They made sure we got our money’s worth.

Despite not having ideal conditions for stargazing (extremely rare I’m told) the team pivoted with good enough conditions to stargaze at the bottom. Tay was extremely nice during the tour and very knowledgeable while explaining simply to everyone. The telescope images were incredible. Our personal night photos were satisfactory. The minibus should have AC when needing to dress warm for the top of the mountain but catching the bus in warm conditions at sea level. The timing of the tour with visitor center, acclimitisation, sunset views was great. The snacks were plentiful and well suited considering the tour being at a meal time.

Amazing experience! The pickup from our hotel was very convenient, and the trip up was easy and peaceful. I had fretted about the drive being scary or steep, but the road was fine with no super scary drop offs, and the driver/guide John was great! We were able to see the Milky Way with the naked eye and get decent cell pictures on top of the pics provided by the guides who were knowledgeable and efficient. The telescope views were fantastic! A truly breathtaking and unforgettable experience. I am so truly thankful!!

One of my favorite activities on our vacation! Incredible views on the summit that you truly cannot find anywhere else. It was definitely cold so pack layers. They do provide a parka which helped keep me warm, but I wish I brought a beanie and a thicker jacket. Our tour guides were amazing providing endless amounts of information on the island, volcano, space, etc. Seeing the stars in the sky were beautiful plus the additional objects in the telescope were out of this world! THIS IS A MUST DO!!!! Worth the money!

It is super awesome, guides are very knowledgeable, and the stars are beautiful so long as the weather is good

John & Chris were awesome guides. They did a great job explaining night navigation by the stars and pointed out many constellations. The view of the galaxy through the telescope was incredible.

Although the weather was not good to see the sky, guides did their best to satisfy travelers. We appreciate for that.

This is a long (3pm-10:30pm) activity that will bring you up to the Mauna Kea summit to observe the sunset. Included are a fee stops (before and after sunset) where guides explain more details about the nature of the mountain, its historical and cultural significance and a big stargazing session! The crew will take a picture of you with the milky way in the background! As an astronomy enthusiast this is a must do. Learning more about hawaiian culture was also extremely interesting. Some altitude sickness is expected, but the crew gave out a lot of snacks to help with that, all was good!

This is a must see! Anna, Our transport driver was full of energy and very knowledgeable about the Big Island! Our Guide, John H was also very knowledgeable and entertaining. He knows the constellation's well and the view of the sunset from Mouna-Kea was stunning! An added plus was the site of a rainbow! Time was given to be in awe of this site and it was truly Amazing! 10/10 experience!

This was a once in a lifetime experience! Absolutely breathtaking! Everything is super well organized and thought through. Cherry on top: our guide, Chris, was truly amazing: giving us information about geology, biology, astronomy and so on, with passion, knowledge and a perfect sense of humor. I HIGHLY recommend booking this trip, especially with Chris.
