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. Lastly, your guide will take you to one of our preferred locations on Mauna Kea for nighttime stargazing.

Mauna Kea
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! Afterwards, warm up with Kona coffee and hot chocolate before returning to your resort. Warm jackets provided. This tour does not visit Maunakea’s summit out of deference to Native Hawaiian concerns.

Седл-роуд
Далее вы будете путешествовать по Седл-роуд между Мауна-Кеа и Мауна-Лоа, двумя самыми высокими и массивными вулканами на Земле. Ваш гид, обученный Службой национальных парков, обсудит вулканологию, геологию и историю этих чудовищных чудес, а также подробно расскажет о различных потоках лавы, флоре и фауне, мимо которых вы будете проезжать. Наконец, ваш гид отвезет вас в одно из наших любимых мест на Мауна-Кеа для ночного наблюдения за звездами.

Мауна-Кеа
Вы будете наблюдать за глубоким небом и планетарными объектами через телескоп Добсона с большой апертурой под одним из самых темных и чистых небес на планете Земля! Наши добсоновские телескопы — это настоящий пуристский опыт наблюдения за ночным небом. Их быстрое фокусное расстояние позволяет вам видеть обширные виды объектов, которые просто невозможны с типами телескопов, используемых в других турах. В зависимости от того, что видно на текущем небе и позволяет погода, вы будете наблюдать галактики, туманности, звездные скопления, планеты, двойные звездные системы, Луну и многое другое; все основные моменты и экспонаты, которых вы никогда раньше не видели! После этого согрейтесь кофе Kona и горячим шоколадом, прежде чем вернуться на курорт. Предоставляются теплые куртки. Этот тур не посещает вершину Маунакеа из уважения к интересам коренных жителей Гавайев.

Marcus was great. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and kind. Plus he provided all the stars for us on what looked like a cloudy night! Simply amazing.

The tour was a great experience. Nice dinner and good hot choc at the end. Marcus drove the Saddle Road, set us up for sunset viewing near a parking lot and if there were no partial clouds obscuring would have set up the solarscope, and then drove to a secluded spot for 1.30-2 hours using his portable Dobsonian telescope giving each of us turns to watch e.g. Alpha Centauri (a twin star!), Venus and as top of the bill Saturn with the clearly visible ring pattern. And in between used the laser pointer to show lots of stars and nebulas. Even had 3 falling stars, a rarity! However we were disappointed that all only went to 6000 feet (2 km), meaning we missed the far better sunset views including ocean from the visitors centre. (Summit is not really needed to visit, partly due to sensitivity for local culture but also as it’s simply too cold and can bring altitude sickness). Company delivers as advertised, but we should have read better – though the pickup options in Kona for this tour were amongst the best. The tour would, both because of less delivered quality and of far less fuel cost for the company compared to the other routes, need to be sold at USD 75 at least below the current level. For the current level of price, go for a tour that visits the visitor centre (9000 ft/3km) for sunset vistas (and stargazing similar to this one) like Mauna Kea Summit sunset and stars, Mauna Kea Summit tour, Mauna Kea stargazing experience.
