Visit Hawaii's Observatories

Maunakea attracts thousands of visitors and astronomers every year. Maunakea's altitude and isolation in the middle of the Pacific ocean make it an ideal location for astronomical observation. Currently there are 13 independent multi-national astronomical research facilities located on the summit. While the summit is open to the public, the summit telescope facilities are closed to visitors. The IAU has arranged excursions to the observatories.
