We’ve visited the Hawaiian Islands about 12 times over the years and this was undoubtedly one of our TOP 3 Experiences, EVER!
Our tour guides were SO knowledgeable and the professional photos they took of the sunset and stars were absolutely AMAZING! Some photos were so incredible, we paid to have them printed on glass to be a focal point in our home.
The photos of us pointing at the Milky Way looked like they were photo shopped, but are actually real. It’s truly incredible how clear the Milky Way can we seen on top of this volcano with the naked eye! I guess that’s why there are 13 observatories on top from NASA, plus top universities and countries from all over the world.
We can’t recommend this tour company highly enough to all visitors! It was our understanding that they usually give tours only to people visiting from Japan, but we got lucky, because direct flights from Japan have not been coming lately. Certainly 10 out of 10!
