Maunakea and Rainbow Falls Private Tour

Roberts Hawaii - Maunakea and Rainbow Falls Private Tour


This tour is only available for cruise ship passengers arriving at Hilo Harbor.

Departing from the Hilo Pier, this private and customizable tour takes you to Mauna Kea, also known as the "White Mountain" due to the snow that often coats its peak. Located at an elevation of over 9,000 feet, you'll explore the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy, where you'll learn about the sacred significance of Mauna Kea, home to world-class telescopes. Discover rare endemic plants thriving in this high-altitude environment, while soaking in panoramic views that stretch across the island.

After this cultural and educational experience, continue to the enchanting Rainbow Falls. This 80-foot waterfall, cascading over a lava cave, is said to be the home of Hina, the Hawaiian moon goddess and the mother of the demigod Maui. Known as Waianuenue, meaning rainbow [seen in] water, the falls are surrounded by lush greenery and a mango orchard. Watch as the sun catches the falling water, creating mesmerizing rainbows in the mist.

This small group tour, accommodating up to six guests per vehicle, ensures an intimate and personalized adventure. The tour is fully customizable, with options to add stops for a meal, coffee or other attractions within your designated time.

Tour Highlights:
     
  • Maunakea: Boasts breathtaking landscapes   and is one of the tallest mountains in the world when measured from its   base on the ocean floor
  • Onizuka Center for International Astronomy: Home to some of   the most advanced telescopes in the world
  • Rainbow Falls: 80-foot fall, named after the rainbows, that   are often form in its mist
