Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Onizuka Center for International Astronomy Visitor Information Station, Mauna Kea Access Rd, Hilo, HI, USA

First stop of the tour is Onizuka Visitor Center, where you can stargaze for an hour at 9,000 ft elevation. Visitors are strongly advised to spend at least half an hour at the center to adapt to lower air pressure caused by high elevation before proceeding to the summit. You will be provided with parkas here in preparation for the summit. You can enjoy the night sky and predawn star show before sunrise.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Mauna Kea Summit, Kailua-Kona, Island of Hawaii, HI

After stargazing, we will then ascend 4,700 ft to the summit. Delight at the start of morning twilight as you proceed to the top, also the coldest point in Hawaii. Enjoy a glorious sunrise in the endless sky of the highest peak of the Pacific Ocean.

Duration: 1 hour
