Mauna Kea, der Weiße Berg, erreicht eine Höhe von 13.796 Fuß, also 4.200 Metern, und dies ist der Weg dorthin für kleine Gruppen. Der Stopp an der Besucherstation ist der Ort, an dem du dich an die Höhe gewöhnst, bei einem warmen Picknick-Abendessen, und wo die Guides die hawaiianische Sternnavigation erklären. Das ist der Teil, für den es sich zu kommen lohnt: Die Menschen, die diese Inseln entdeckten, taten dies, indem sie den Himmel lasen, und zu hören, wie das ist, verändert, wie du ihn betrachtest. Der Sonnenuntergang findet auf dem Gipfel statt, oberhalb der Wolkenschicht, über dem Pazifik. Das Beobachten der Sterne findet in einer angenehmeren Höhe statt, mit heißer Schokolade, und es gibt zwei Instrumente anstelle von einem. Ein 11-Zoll-Celestron-Teleskop zum Anschauen und ein Stellina-Digitalteleskop für Deep-Space-Objekte, das Bilder aufnimmt, die du behalten und weiterleiten kannst. Eine praktische Information, die der Anbieter an jedem Abholpunkt wiederholt, daher ist es hier erwähnenswert: Deine Abholzeit ist nicht die im Internet angegebene Tourenstartzeit. Kontaktiere sie, um dies zu bestätigen, und sei 15 Minuten vorher da. Die Abholungen erfolgen auf der Kona- und Waikoloa-Seite, und es können zusätzliche Stopps auf dem Weg nach Maunakea geben.
