This tour is a favorite among guests as it combines two beloved experiences: exploring a volcano and stargazing, all in one package. The day begins with a late morning pickup from your Kona accommodation or a nearby location. The journey heads south through the scenic Kona coffee country and the historic town of Kailua-Kona, offering a delightful stop for our Waikōloa guests to explore briefly while we pick up local participants and continue southward. The tour includes visits to a bee and honey farm, coffee tastings, a bakery, and a black sand beach, all before arriving at the entrance of Volcanoes National Park. Within the park, we will explore caves, various overlooks, the visitor center, and the Volcano House. Stargazing takes place at different spots around the base of Mauna Kea, where we seek out quiet, dark areas to ensure a clear view once your eyes adjust.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
