De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Unique experience but this is the same place as the Mauna Kea observatory, Mauna key attraction etc. It is either the #1 or 2 ranked item in the list of attractions listed above in tripadvisor. You may want to read the reviews about the place there

We visited Mauna Kea on the spur of the moment. We were on the Saddle Road on our way to Hilo when we pulled over to check where we were and saw the sign. Intrigued, we decided to drive up to the visitor center. The views from 9,200' were quite impressive. The ranger was very helpful. They take safely seriously as they were checking each vehicle who were going to the summit if it wasn't AWD or 4WD, you weren't going. You also weren't going if you were under the age of 13 or if you weren't carrying water or even if you car was dirty. Our car was so we don't think he would have met us go. However, we did enjoy the visitor center and that was worth the drive.

せっかくハワイ島に来たならということでマウナケア山頂からのサンセットと中腹での星空観賞の
ツアーに高1の娘と参加しました。
太公望ハワイのツアーがお勧めと聞いていたので事前に申し込みましたが、
スイスからの4人家族とオーストラリアからのカップルの計8名、日本人のガイドさんでしたが
「英語での説明になりますが、最後に日本語でもフォローします」と気を遣って頂き
私の拙いヒアリングでも理解できる分かり易い説明で、ハワイ島の歴史・自然を学ぶことが
できました。
15時にワイコロアでピックアップ、まずは標高2800mのオニヅカセンターを目指します。
余談ですが、このツアーに参加する前には、消化の悪いものは食べない、
決して満腹では参加しない、をお勧めします。そうしないと上りか下りのデコボコ道で
気分が悪くなって大変な思いをすることになります。
当日は曇天が心配でしたが、山頂に着く頃には周囲は快晴で眼下には雲のじゅうたんが
広がる中で、まずは各国の13基の天文台の場所で説明を聞き、いよいよ夕焼け鑑賞
スポットに上がります。
すでに富士山の山頂よりはるかに高い場所で、雲海に沈む絶景の夕日は言葉に言い表せ
られないほど感動的、遠方にはマウイ島の山々も望めて、さらにマウナケア山頂の影が
雲海に映った景色に満月を収めたスリーショットも面白かったです。
自分のとても気になっていた服装ですが、7月末の真夏でもやはり防寒着は必須、
ヒートテックの上下を着た上で、長袖・長ズボン・軽いダウンジャケットが最低限、
さらに寒い場合は、事前にガイドさんにお願いして防寒ジャケットの上下を借ります。
そうしないと山頂での夕日を眺める約1時間ほどや、その後の約2時間の星空観賞は
絶対に我慢できません。
途中休憩のオニヅカセンターで着込んでも良いと思います。
日没後30分以内にツアー客は山頂から降りなければならないので、またしても途中
デコボコ道を下りながら中腹の星空観賞スポットに移動します。
こちらは各社でテリトリーがあるようで、真っ暗な中で約2時間の星空観賞を楽しみます。
この日はあいにくと満月の前日、月光が明るすぎて天の川がほとんど見えませんでしたが
本当は文字通り満天の星空なんだそうです。
その後帰路についてワイコロアに到着は23時過ぎ、でも本当に貴重な体験が出来て
幸せでした。
可能であれば次回は、星空観賞とサンライズツアーにも参加してみたいです。

Aktuell wird an der Straße ab dem Visit-Center gebaut. Ca. 70% der Auffahrt sind mehr oder weniger Schotterpiste. Zugelassen sind nur Allrad-Fahrzeuge, ein Ranger hat jedes Fahrzeug vor der Bergfahrt überprüft, uns gab er wertvolle Tipps zur Motorbremsenbenutzung bei Automatikgetriebe für die Abfahrt vom Berg. Der Besuch oben lohnt sich absolut, sehr beeindruckend, aber bei Wind und ca. 3°C doch recht frisch! Fazit: Allrad-Auto haben und unbedingt hoch, es lohnt sich!

Like the volcano, I think your experience is all going to be based on timing. It was a clear night and we were able to see constellations very clearly. However, the moon was way too bright to allow us to see any difference in the Milky Way, compared to where we we could see it from our lodging in Pahoa.
The drive up was super easy (and much easier than Haleakala) but we did not drive all the way to the top of the summit. Luckily, we had no issues acclimating.
Flying out of Kona, it was cool to be able to see Mauna Kea from the plane and be able to see where we were the night before.

Beautiful place to just see the sky! We went during the moonlight so we didn’t get to see much stars with our eyes. However, my Nikon D850 captured it! Next time we go, we’ll plan for late night during no moon (New moon) for much better visibility.

We went all the way to the summit (renting a 4-wheel drive at extra cost to get there) and then were disappointed with the summit itself. The day we went all you could see from the summit was the tops of the clouds below you and the observatories. Then the sunset, which was supposed to be so spectacular, was very tame. The summit is a pretty long drive over mostly dirt roads with very desolate scrubland or desert around you, so not picturesque. There is nothing to do at the top but wait for the sunset.
We enjoyed the stargazing at the Visitor Center much more. Because of light pollution It had been 50 years since we’d seen the Milky Way! But because of going to the summit for sunset, we had a long wait for the stars to come out—at least an hour after sunset itself. So if I did it again, I would not go to the summit. I would have rented a regular car, waited until sunset to set out from Hilo, and just gone to the Visitor Center for the stargazing.
It is COLD at this elevation and gets even colder after dark. We wore down jackets, long johns, ski caps, and mittens and we STILL froze. I would bring every blanket you can beg or borrow from your hotel. Also make sure you have a reliable flashlight, because the whole reason you are here is because it is DARK! My old reliable punked out on me at the worst time despite brand new batteries (some loose connection), so we had to share one.
Altitude sickness is a real thing. We already felt a little headachy at the Visitor Center at 9000 feet and did not feel like walking around much at the 13,000 foot summit.
By the way, there isn’t much to see at the Visitor Center either, so don’t think there is a great educational exhibit there. I got so sick of hearing about native Hawaiian mythology on our whole trip and got more there too. How about some science?

If you have decent 4 wheel drive, go up before sunset.
Bring warm clothes, water and camera.
You will be rewarded!
Loved being above the clouds!
The observatories are cool to look at!

We drove up to the visitor center in order to watch the moonrise and star gaze. We arrived just a few minutes before the visitor center closed and the staff were incredibly patient with us as we picked up a few souvenirs. Watching the moonrise was a tremendous experience. Star gazing was a tad bit disappointing due to nearly full moon plus cloud cover moving in but still a worthwhile trip. It was 86 degrees in Kona when we left and 43 degrees at the visitor center. Dress accordingly. Also, there's no need for your headlights to be on bright when entering the parking lot.

I've read some tours include viewing planets & constellations through telescopes after coming down from the summit, near the visitor center. Can anyone tell me if this is available for all visitors to the center or a tour exclusive experience? To be clear, I mean smaller telescopes for human use, not the huge digital imaging telescopes at the summit.
I'm just not sure if this is something the center provides for all guests or if tour guides are bringing up telescopes or what.

Hello, we are planning to come to Mauna Kea.
But when I looked at the moon phases, I saw that it's a in between first quarter moon and full moon when we're there. Is this still advisable to do?
Thank you :)

We are considering renting a 4 wheel drive vehicle so we can get to the summit of Mauna Kea. Is the road to the summit safe? Is the view worth the drive? Is a tour worth the cost? Thanks

We drove up in a rental hero with 4 wheel drive. Road is good and wide. The guys at the visitor center will tell you exactly how to go up and back down.

Hi all, could I check if the Mauna Kea Visitor Centre is closed since June 2019? Could we still drive up to the visitor centre for star gazing? Thanks

Buongiorno a Tutti,
desidero chiedere un' informazione circa l' ascesa in macchina: e' autorizzato l' uso di macchine 4x4 a noleggio per l' intera strada sino alla vetta?
Grazie Grazie!!!

Hello! We are planning to visit Mauna Kea summit in our upcoming visit to Big Island. Some of the tours allow a pick up near the parking lot at Cinder Cone by Hwy 200 Saddle road. Is it safe to park the car there and join the tour from there? Or is it more advisable to choose a tour which picks up directly from the hotel? Any answers or suggestions related to the Mauna Kea summit Visit will be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi Pankti, Saddle road is easily accessible, and I assume there is parking at the pickup spot. Please make sure you are physically prepared for altitude, and enjoy your tour!

Hello, I will be visiting the Big Island, Hawaii from late December, 2016 until early January, 2017. I plan on purchasing tickets for Hawaii Forest and Trail's "Maunakea Voyage" tour. Have any Tripadvisors gone on this tour? Do you know if you are able to go inside of the Keck observatory at the top of the summit on the tour?
Lastly, do you know of any guided tours that permit visits inside of the observatories? Thank you

Planning some trips from Honolulu, and would like to visit the observatories and see some lava flows. Where would be the best airport to land, and where would be the best area to stay/book hotel in terms of proximity to both?

We flew into and stayed in Hilo. It really depends on the type of weather you like. Going to the Big Island in Hawaii the 2 sides are totally different. Hilo is like a rain forest and Kona (usually more popular with tourist) is like a desert.
I would personally prefer Hilo over Kona but up to you.

What is the drive between Saddle Road and the Visitor's Center like? Is it an ok drive in the dark?
Would it be better to go on a Friday night or a Saturday night. Having tourguides around might be nice, unless it draws huge crowds?? Thank you
