Description:

Get a new perspective on Hawaii from the top of Mauna Kea, the world's tallest mountain and the most sacred location across the Hawaiian islands. Watch the sunset from 13,796 feet (4,205 m) above sea level, enjoy a Bento dinner, and scope out the stunning starry sky.

Start from Kona and ride past varied landscapes, including lava flows, pastureland, dry forest, and rainforest on your way to the base of Mauna Kea. At the Onizuka Visitor Center, enjoy a delicious Bento box with a beverage. After your meal, grab your jacket and continue the steep drive up to the summit with your expert guide.

Upon arrival, gaze out from the mountain at the peaks of nearby Mauna Loa and Hualalai, which tower above the countryside, and the far-away Haleakalā volcano crowning Maui. As you take in the view, a pastel sunset stretches over the Pacific.

When the sun sinks below the horizon, it's back to the Visitor Center at 9,000 feet (2,743 m). Warm up with a hot drink and a snack as your guide sets up your telescope for a stargazing party like no other. Free from light pollution, Mauna Kea offers crystal-clear views of the stars. Listen to the tales of Hawaiian celestial lore and spend the rest of your time on the lookout for constellations and shooting stars.
