Mauna Kea

Explore the rare and lesser known high elevation dry forest around the slopes of Mauna Kea volcano.

Witness other rare and endemic birds such as the Hawai‘i ‘Amakihi, ‘Apapane, Hawaiian Hawk and Hawaiian Short-eared Owl. Hawaii has some of the best birding opportunities in the world due to the evolution of the islands and the presence of the rare bird species still found here.

Enjoy a guided walk through this special forest reserve as you learn all about the unique plants and animals found in the area.
Search for endemic birds with your provided Nikon Prostaff binoculars.

Marvel at two of the largest volcanoes on planet earth as you enjoy a picnic lunch or dinner surrounded by the beauty of the sub-alpine dry forest.
