Mauna Kea Stargazing (Optional tour; not going to the summit. Minimum 2 guests required for non-private tours. Departure time varies by season; please confirm when booking.)
In the evening, head to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station at an altitude of about 2,600m for an unforgettable stargazing experience. With no light pollution, Mauna Kea offers pristine skies filled with countless twinkling stars against a deep blue-black backdrop—a breathtaking and romantic sight far beyond imagination.
Program may vary depending on the season and weather. The tour goes up to the Visitor Center. Guests are required to wear long pants, sneakers, and a warm jacket.

In the morning, head to Akaka Falls State Park for a short 15-minute walk along a paved trail through lush tropical rainforest, passing bamboo groves and hanging ferns. From several viewpoints along the path, admire the spectacular 135-meter Akaka Falls.
Next, stop at a local farmers' market to sample fresh seasonal tropical fruits before driving along the scenic east coast of the Big Island. Pass areas shaped by recent lava flows and continue to Kalapana Black Sand Beach, a young beach formed in 1985 when lava from the Kīlauea eruption flowed into the ocean, creating new land. Today, this striking black-sand shoreline stands as a living testament to the creative power of the volcano goddess.
In the evening, transfer to the airport for your return flight to Oahu and check into your hotel.
* To ensure smooth travel, the order of sightseeing may be adjusted depending on local conditions.

Kalapana Black Sand Beach
One of the Big Island's most unique coastal landscapes, Kalapana was created by volcanic eruptions that sent molten lava rushing into the sea. As the lava cooled rapidly on the outside while remaining hot inside, it shattered into fragments that, over time, were ground and polished by the waves, forming this dramatic black-sand beach.
      
Akaka Falls
In Hawaiian, Akaka means "to split" or "to burst open," reflecting the waterfall's power and dramatic beauty. Located within Akaka Falls State Park, the trail leads through lush tropical rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo, and ferns. Dropping 442 feet (135 meters), the waterfall cascades like a massive silver curtain, its spray rhythmically striking the rocks below. Akaka Falls is one of the Big Island's most spectacular natural sights, drawing visitors from around the world.
      

You may arrange your return flight according to your schedule. Hotel check-out is required before 12:00 noon, after which our staff will transfer you to the airport. This concludes your 7-day romantic Hawaiian journey.
