Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour with Transfers

Starting from Hilo, people from Kona get off the bus, take a car to Hilo, and rest at the Mauna Kea Visitor Center for about 30 minutes. Then, while climbing up to Mt. Jeongsan, a local guide gets off midway to explain the shape of the stones, and gets off at the top to watch a sunset video. On the way down, you can take pictures of the stars and the sunset as the sun sets. The guide is great and provides clothes to keep you warm, but since the temperature drops below freezing, long sleeves and long underwear are required. A hot pack is also recommended. Cocoa and snacks are also recommended. We provide it to your heart's content

The sunset and starry sky were even better than I imagined, and it was an experience I will never forget. To prevent altitude sickness, we stay at the visitor center for about 30 minutes, so we can stop by the restroom and goods shop. Also, after arriving at the visitor center, each person is given a paper bag with sweets, so we eat them in the car and head to the peak. On the way back, we will not stop at the visitor center, so we recommend that you go to the restroom when possible.

The tour guides, Jess and Robert , they are excellent.

The first time I went there, I thought it was so spectacular. It was so beautiful and an unforgettable memory. Although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it. Although it is not the highest.

The tour guide Tay is great😎, his speech is very interesting, and he explains the whole trip carefully. He is a very enthusiastic person. The important thing is that you can see many stars👍👍

Our guides, Robert and Jess, were fantastic! Along the way, they introduced and recommended local restaurants and described the environment. When we arrived at the mountain, they provided us with warm jackets and gloves, as well as snacks, hot chocolate, and hot tea! During stargazing, they even helped us take photos and used a telescope to look at the stars. I highly recommend everyone to join this tour!!

It's a very special experience. Even though it's really cold on the mountain, I still recommend everyone to come to Big Island to participate. The tour guide will provide some local information along the way.

Unique and amazing experience. so many factors make this an interesting and perfect spot for an observatory. Stunning sunset and knowledgeable guides for the stargazing.

It’s very cold on the mountain, but this trip will provide thick coats, snacks, and hot cocoa to tourists. In addition, the tour guide will explain the stars in English and help everyone take photos. It’s not cheap, but I think it’s a pretty good trip.

A very delighted experience to see the sunset and stars on the mountain. Tour guide was helpful and thoughtful. Highly recommended
