Mauna Kea’s summit feels like the top of the world – the highest point in the Pacific, where the sunset turns the sky into fire and the stars come out like you’ve never seen them. This evening adventure keeps you cozy with parkas, gloves and hot chocolate while your guide shares real Hawaiian stories about the Big Island’s sacred mountain. You’ll stand among the world’s biggest collection of research telescopes – including two that helped capture the first black hole photo – then get your own private star show through a professional telescope (weather permitting). The guide snaps pro photos of you against the epic backdrop and emails them afterward so the memories last. Pickup and drop-off from several spots make it easy – just an unforgettable night of sunset magic, crystal-clear stars and that quiet Arctic-like peace 14,000 feet up.
