Top of Mauna Kea
Mauna Kea hosts the world’s largest astronomical observatory and offers crystal-clear views due to its high elevation and the surrounding ocean’s stabilizing effect on the atmosphere. It’s also a dormant Volcano site and stargazing from the top of the mountain is one of the most wild and soul-stirring experiences. Be sure to check access conditions as the summit can be reached only by a 4WD vehicle and is sometimes closed due to extreme weather.
