The tour which I booked was cancelled Mauna Kea sunset and star gazing due to the weather conditions, but with the help and recommendation of the local company Hawaii Forest and Trail,I guess it was Julie it has gained an unexpected experience.
I was lucky enough to see media shower, milky way, and beautiful stars while I was drinking hot chocolate.
After sunrise, a simple breakfast pleased me mightily.
I think this trip will be an unforgettable one for sure.
Two thumbs up!!! -
Excellent - well thought out
