Mauna Kea Summit
One of the best places to see the sunset and stargazing and it's also the highest mountain on earth. Comfortable 4X4 passenger van as transportation.Jackets and gloves provided to keep you warm. Experienced tour guide to talk about our history and show you our amazing night with a laser pointer. Get close to the stars with our professional Celestron telescope and get a nice photo with our DSLR camera.
Maunakea is a celebrated and storied place in the cultural traditions of Hawai'i. While it is the dwelling place of the goddess Poli'ahu it is also associated with the Hawaiian deities Lilinoe and Waiau. The summit was considered the realm of the gods and in ancient times was kapu (forbidden) to all but the highest chiefs and priests. Occasionally Hawaiian ali'i (royalty) would make the long trek to the top, the last royal visitor being Queen Emma in 1881 who led her companions on the arduous 6 hour journey to the top to see the summit and rejuvenate herself in sacred Lake Waiau. The White Mountain Legends of the Mountain - Poli´ahu While today Maunakea is home to 13 international observatories and recieves thousands of visitors every year it remains a sacred place for the people of Hawai'i. On the the fourth Saturday of every month MKVIS hosts community speakers who speak about Mauna O Wakea from a cultural perspective.

5.00A great experience on the Big Island although a bit expensive. It was cold at the top and going into the night stargazing… but the views are spectacular!

4.00Tay was an excellent tour guide but this trip is not for everyone! You have to be aware that bathrooms are not readily available and the porta potties at the summit are disgusting. Tay was filled with interesting stories and knew his constellations so the trip was fun! For us women over 60 it is a little bit of a challenge! Do not expect any information for the first and last hour of your tour as it is a transfer with people who are not part of the actual tour. I would recommend it but be aware that you should bring food even though they provide “snacks” it is a long trip , cold and you will have no bathroom break for 3 hours until you arrive at your final destination. Drink water for altitude sickness but make sure you don’t drink too much since you have e no place to go to the bathroom!! Enjoy!

5.00Tay was very knowledgeable on Hawaii and was very polite when talking about restrictions. He immediately helped out when there was a medical emergency on the summit. He was very patient to take great pictures. I would definitely do this again and recommend it to all that are able.

5.00Experience was one of a kind. There is a lot of bumpy travel but the views of the sunset and stars were unbelievable. A few of the members of our group were affected by the altitude but its hard to predict that in advance.
