Drive up to the Visitors Center at Mauna Kea. Most rental cars will not allow you to go up beyond that point (4WD only). They have bus tours that take you up in late afternoon so you can see the sunset over Kona. Take some warm clothes, at that elevation it can get cold! There are rangers who offer stargazing at night.

This is where you go to learn about the Mauna Kea. If the streets allow, you can continue to drive up but be aware, a strong car and 4-wheel drive is required for a fun experience. Keep in mind that this is a very tall mountain and the air up there is thin, there are certain people, that should no go up there because it is not healthy for them. Sunset, Sunrise are probably the best events to witness up there- it's pretty unique. In the winter the mountain sometimes has snow on it and some Hawaiians like to visit up there and take a cooler full of snow to the beach to cool a nice island-brew... it's just a fun thing to do: Snow and a tropical beach in one day :-)

The views are stunning and the vastness of the island can really be experienced when you are on top of the world. This is the only place in the world where you can see snow and a live volcanic lava flow in the same day! Make your trip and epic one and experience it all!
