Big Island Mauna Kea & Stargazing
Journey to the summit of Mauna Kea and experience a night sky unlike anywhere else on Earth. Rising nearly 14,000 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea is the tallest mountain in the world when measured from its base, and its crystal-clear skies make it one of the best stargazing locations on the planet. Big Island Mauna Kea and stargazing tours take you above the clouds to watch a spectacular sunset, then continue with guided telescope viewing of stars, planets, and distant galaxies you can’t see from anywhere else.
Led by expert guides, these tours provide warm parkas, hot drinks, and fascinating insights into Hawaiian culture, astronomy, and the mountain’s sacred significance. Some tours also include visits to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station or scenic stops along the Saddle Road. Whether you’re a passionate astronomer or simply seeking an unforgettable evening, Mauna Kea stargazing offers a humbling, awe-inspiring connection to the universe and to Hawaii’s majestic landscapes.
