🏔️ On Wednesdays, we Giveback! Check out our Mauna Kea Giveback Experience!

Our Mauna Kea Summit & Stars Adventure and Giveback Experience

Choose from our two Mauna Kea experience options – the Mauna Kea Summit & Stars Adventure or our Mauna Kea Summit & Stars Giveback Experience.

Experience the awe-inspiring sunset from the slopes of Mauna Kea, where Hawaii’s clear skies offer an unparalleled view as the sun dips below the horizon. As you embark on this unforgettable journey with our interpretive guides will unveil the rich tapestry of Mauna Kea’s natural, cultural, and geological wonders.

Following a delightful outdoor dinner and a breathtaking sunset, prepare to be captivated by a starlit sky, free from the intrusion of light pollution. Indulge in a cup of hot chocolate as you gaze at the celestial wonders through our 11″ Celestron Telescope and state-of-the-art Stellina Astro-Photography scope.

Our guests are transported in comfortable 12-passenger 4WD vans, each accompanied by a dedicated interpretive guide. From warm parkas and gloves to walking sticks, water, dinner, and hot chocolate, Hawaii Forest & Trail ensures that all your needs are met.

Embark on your Big Adventure and create memories that will last a lifetime!

Choose from two unforgettable adventures! Journey from sea level to the nearly 14,000-foot summit in our standard Mauna Kea experience for an awe inspiring sunset and star show or take an extra hour to participate in our regenerative tour in our Giveback experience that is as fun as it is rewarding at an endangered native dry forest.
