Embark on a 6‑hour, small‑group adventure from Hilo that starts with a stop at lush Rainbow Falls, where mist‑borne ānuenue (the Hawaiian rainbow) may shimmer through the spray—then rises nearly 9,000 ft to the Onizuka Visitor Information Station for educational astronomy displays and acclimatization at approximately 9,300 ft elevation. From there, continue in air‑conditioned transport to Hawaii’s highest point: Mauna Kea summit at 13,796 ft, offering pristine panoramic views above the clouds and a close‑up of global telescope domes.
