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.

I am giving 4 Stars only because the BBQ was disappointing. Other than that the scenery at the coffee farm and dinner location were excellent. Marcus was great knowledgeable and enthusiastic about astronomy. The star gazing part was excellent with very clear skies. make sure you bring a warm jacket.

For the first half of the tour it was pouring. John still helped BBQ our ribs and chicken for dinner and it was delicious! The area where we ate was beautiful. Too bad we couldn't explore it more since it was raining. John put out positive energy and the skies finally cleared up for us to watch the sunset and see the stars. He was very knowledgeable about everything. My kids (9 + 11) both enjoyed it and found it interesting. It does get cold up there so make sure to bring warm clothes.
