Subaru Telescope

Description:

• For an experience extraordinaire, arrange for a visit to the Subaru Telescope site atop Hawaii's dormant volcano. For as many as 15 days a month, 30-minute tours are organized for those interested in increasing their knowledge of the fiery bowels of the earth. Both Japanese and English guides will aid tourists, but children and those susceptible to illness are strictly barred. Reservations should be made a week in advance and participants are expected to be dressed for a rough walk. After intense preparations, one will be rewarded with awesome views of naturally sculpted landscapes and loads of information about volcanoes.
