À quoi s'attendre
1
Rainbow Falls
Start your adventure in quaint Hilo town where you’ll drive along the historic waterfront before arriving at Rainbow Falls. This iconic waterfall right off a postcard features an 80 foot tall twin waterfall system. Look for the rainbow effect that gives the waterfall its name!
2
Boiling Pots
Continue traveling up the Wailuku River to Boiling Pots. Impressive photo opportunities are often found here when the river “boils” through depressions in the rocks.
3
Kaumana Caves Park
Explore Kaumana Caves, part of the lava tube system that brought lava 1.5 miles from Hilo-town in 1881. Take a peek inside the cathedral-like space before tucking into a quick picnic-style lunch atop the caves.
4
Mauna Kea
Your guide will take you to one of our preferred locations on Mauna Kea for nighttime stargazing. You’ll observe deep sky and planetary objects through a large aperture Dobsonian telescope under one of the darkest and most pristine skies on planet Earth! Our Dobsonian telescopes are a true purist’s experience to view the night sky. Their fast focal ratio enables you to see sprawling wide field views of objects that simply aren’t possible with the types of telescopes used by other tours. Depending on what is visible in the current sky and weather permitting, you’ll observe galaxies, nebula, star clusters, planets, double star systems, the moon, and much more; all the highlights and showpiece objects like you’ve never seen before!
5
Saddle Road
Next, you’ll travel across Saddle Road between Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, two of the tallest and most massive volcanoes on Earth. Your National Park Service trained guide will discuss the volcanology, geology, and history of these monstrous wonders, as well as providing in-depth narration on the various lava flows and flora and fauna that you’ll be passing by. While you’re taking in the breathtaking terrestrial views, your guide will prepare some heavenly views just as stunning. Setting up a state of the art solar telescope for your viewing pleasure, your specially trained guide will let you safely watch the sun come alive in true color with vibrant solar flares, sunspots, prominences and any other current activity weather permitting.

Chutes arc-en-ciel
Commencez votre aventure dans la ville pittoresque de Hilo où vous longerez le front de mer historique avant d'arriver à Rainbow Falls. Cette cascade emblématique tout droit sortie d'une carte postale comprend un système de cascades jumelles de 80 pieds de haut. Cherchez l'effet arc-en-ciel qui donne son nom à la cascade !
27
Marmites bouillantes
Continuez à remonter la rivière Wailuku jusqu'à Boiling Pots. Des opportunités de photos impressionnantes se trouvent souvent ici lorsque la rivière « bout » à travers des dépressions dans les rochers.
28
Parc des grottes de Kaumana
Explorez les grottes de Kaumana, une partie du système de tubes de lave qui a amené la lave à 2,5 km de la ville de Hilo en 1881. Jetez un coup d'œil à l'intérieur de l'espace ressemblant à une cathédrale avant de savourer un rapide déjeuner de style pique-nique au sommet des grottes.
29
Mauna Kea
Votre guide vous conduira à l'un de nos endroits préférés sur le Mauna Kea pour l'observation nocturne des étoiles. Vous observerez le ciel profond et les objets planétaires à travers un télescope Dobson à grande ouverture sous l'un des cieux les plus sombres et les plus vierges de la planète Terre ! Nos télescopes Dobson sont une véritable expérience puriste pour voir le ciel nocturne. Leur rapport focal rapide vous permet de voir des vues étendues à large champ d'objets qui ne sont tout simplement pas possibles avec les types de télescopes utilisés par d'autres circuits. En fonction de ce qui est visible dans le ciel actuel et si le temps le permet, vous observerez des galaxies, des nébuleuses, des amas d'étoiles, des planètes, des systèmes d'étoiles doubles, la lune et bien plus encore ; tous les points forts et les objets phares comme vous n'en avez jamais vus auparavant !
30
Route de la selle
Ensuite, vous traverserez Saddle Road entre le Mauna Kea et le Mauna Loa, deux des volcans les plus hauts et les plus massifs de la Terre. Votre guide formé par le National Park Service discutera de la volcanologie, de la géologie et de l'histoire de ces merveilles monstrueuses, ainsi que d'une narration approfondie des différentes coulées de lave, de la flore et de la faune que vous traverserez. Pendant que vous admirez les vues terrestres à couper le souffle, votre guide préparera des vues paradisiaques tout aussi époustouflantes. En installant un télescope solaire à la pointe de la technologie pour votre plus grand plaisir, votre guide spécialement formé vous permettra de regarder en toute sécurité le soleil s'animer dans de vraies couleurs avec des éruptions solaires vibrantes, des taches solaires, des proéminences et toute autre activité actuelle si le temps le permet.

You’ll never see as many stars as you will on this excursion! We were staying in Waikoloa so we drove Hawaiian belt road to do some sight seeing and then had late lunch at Hawaiian Style Cafe (amazing) in Hilo before meeting our tour guide Henry. Henry was very knowledgeable with each part of the tour. We drove through the gardens and learned of Hawaiian history on our way to Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots. They were cool and then we went to the top to see the island’s oldest Banyan tree. Next We drove to the lava cabes and went in about 1/2 mile. It was not tough to walk but tou wNt to wear closed shoes like sneakers. Henry explained about how the heat of lava created different formations. Then we drove anout 45 minutes up Mauna Kea for view of sunset above the clouds and dinner of sandwiches and salads. We did not go to the peak because of lower oxygen levels and cool temps. Henry gives great overview of star formations and uses laser to point out constellations. The Dobsonian telescope proves you with beautiful star sighting and is also used to show you deep space. This tour was mime and my son’s favorite thing we did on the big island.
