Czego oczekiwać
1
Tęczowe Wodospady
Rozpocznij swoją przygodę w uroczym miasteczku Hilo, gdzie przejedziesz wzdłuż historycznego nabrzeża, zanim dotrzesz do Rainbow Falls. Ten kultowy wodospad widoczny na pocztówce ma 20-metrowy system podwójnych wodospadów. Poszukaj efektu tęczy, od którego pochodzi nazwa wodospadu!
2
Wrzące garnki
Kontynuuj podróż w górę rzeki Wailuku do Boiling Pots. Imponujące okazje do robienia zdjęć często znajdują się tutaj, gdy rzeka „wrze” przez zagłębienia w skałach.
3
Park Jaskini Kaumana
Poznaj jaskinie Kaumana, część systemu rur lawowych, które w 1881 roku sprowadziły lawę 1,5 mili od miasta Hilo. Zajrzyj do wnętrza przypominającej katedrę przestrzeni, zanim zjesz szybki lunch w stylu pikniku na szczycie jaskiń.
4
Mauna Kea
Twój przewodnik zabierze Cię do jednego z naszych preferowanych miejsc na Mauna Kea do nocnego obserwowania gwiazd. Będziesz obserwować głębokie niebo i obiekty planetarne przez teleskop Dobsona o dużej aperturze pod jednym z najciemniejszych i najbardziej nieskazitelnych niebios na Ziemi! Nasze teleskopy Dobsona to doświadczenie prawdziwego purysty do oglądania nocnego nieba. Ich szybki współczynnik ogniskowania umożliwia obserwację rozległych, szerokokątnych widoków obiektów, co po prostu nie jest możliwe w przypadku typów teleskopów używanych podczas innych wycieczek. W zależności od tego, co jest widoczne na obecnym niebie i jeśli pozwoli na to pogoda, będziesz obserwować galaktyki, mgławice, gromady gwiazd, planety, układy podwójne gwiazd, księżyc i wiele więcej; wszystkie atrakcje i obiekty wizytowe, jakich nigdy wcześniej nie widziałeś!
5
Siodłowa Droga
Następnie przejedziesz przez Saddle Road między Mauna Kea i Mauna Loa, dwoma najwyższymi i najbardziej masywnymi wulkanami na Ziemi. Twój wyszkolony przewodnik National Park Service omówi wulkanologię, geologię i historię tych potwornych cudów, a także zapewni dogłębną narrację na temat różnych przepływów lawy oraz flory i fauny, które będziesz mijać. Podczas gdy Ty będziesz podziwiać zapierające dech w piersiach widoki naziemne, Twój przewodnik przygotuje równie wspaniałe widoki niebiańskie. Konfigurując najnowocześniejszy teleskop słoneczny dla przyjemności oglądania, Twój specjalnie przeszkolony przewodnik pozwoli Ci bezpiecznie obserwować, jak słońce ożywa w prawdziwych kolorach z żywymi rozbłyskami słonecznymi, plamami słonecznymi, protuberancjami i wszelkimi innymi bieżącymi aktywnościami, na które pozwala pogoda.
6
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!
7
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.
8
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.
9
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!
10
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.

We were staying in Hilo and most of the tour operators offered star-gazing tours from Kailua/Kona.It was by chance that we came across Kapohokine Adventures which have this Stellar Explorer tour from Hilo.Pros:- Our tour guide was Krystal who is an astrophysicist. She was also very knowledgeable about Hawaiian customs, Hawaiian vegetation and native/non-native species and provided much local information as well. She was very pleasant and made the ride enjoyable with her witty, humorous comments.- The tour vehicle was brilliant red in color (easy to spot) and very clean from the inside and outside (I don't like dirty windows as they spoil all pictures).- They provide choice of sandwiches or salads for dinner and soft drinks/water.- They provide warm jackets during the star-gazing which were much needed for the night time weather. It gets very cold, very fast, when we are outside the van for the star-gazing. It was very windy and temperature was somewhere in the 55 F range when we were outside.- The tour also included guided visit to Rainbow falls, Boiling pots and Kamana Caves lava tube. All 3 attractions were worth watching, especially Kamana Caves. As the Thurston lava tube in Volcano National Park was closed, Kamana Caves were particularly interesting for us.- Great guide, superb facilities and clear, cloudless night made this a perfect star-gazing experience for us.Some tour operators do not actually have a telescope. But they just use a laser pointer and point our the stars/planets/galaxies in the night sky. Krystal had a 10-inch Dobsonian Telescope for this tour, so it was a much better experience.From a pricing perspective, I believe they charge quite similar to the other tour operators.The reason we went with Kapohokine was because they were taking tours out of Hilo.There are many tours which take you to Mauna Kea summit and then have star-gazing once they are back to the visitor center. We didn't want to go to Mauna Kea summit and so this tour was perfect for us.We went as a couple. We are in our early 30's and requested for vegetarian sandwiches.Many thanks to Kapohokine and Krystal for making this such a wonderful experience !!

We went out with Rich, who was a fantastic guide. My 11 year old put away his iPad as he found him so interesting. The tour from Hilo included stops at Rainbow Falls, Boiling Pots, a lava tube (which was very cool), and then the star gazing. We watched the sunset from Mauna Kea (we ate dinner in the car to save time) and then the telescope came out. Rich was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of different types of stars. Note it's very cold, while they provide jackets, you need to wear jeans, sweater. If you have a hat or mitts, bring them.

Aloha JillinSingapore! Rich made an 11 year old put away his iPad! That is quite an achievement these days and we will let him know about this great review! Happy New Year from all of us!

I’ll be honest, I’m not a real stargazer. The tour guide, Rich, made this tour unbelievable. There were many stops on the way to the stargazing location, with a great deal of culture and sights. Even for a novice stargazer like myself, the stargazing was amazing.
