Top Things to Do in Captain Cook 2021

"At an altitude of 13,796 feet (4205 meters), this is the highest mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii. If you count the part of it submerged in the sea, its height will exceed 10,000 meters, making it the highest mountain in the world (more than the Himalayas). But height is only an indicator to measure it. What I like is the stargazing experience in the mountains. In the eyes of traditional Hawaiians, it is a sacred place. The weather here is dry and there is no light pollution. There are more than 300 sunny nights throughout the year. Therefore, it has become one of the best places in the world for astronomical observation. Astronomical telescopes are scattered all over the hills. Drive there in the afternoon, enjoy the spectacular sunset on the earth from the clouds, step on the brown volcanic land, and have an infinitely broad field of vision. There will be a feeling of being outside the earth. Stargazing at night can see countless twinkles, which really complied with the phrase "stars can be picked by hand". It was cold, but I really couldn't bear to leave the bright starry sky."

"What a beautiful and peaceful place,we enjoyed here so much looking forward to seeing here again"

"Probably my favorite spot on the island. It's a lot less crowded then some of the other more popular valleys."

"Beautiful Park that doesn’t require a full day hike to see the focal point. It takes no work to get to the peak, well about 10 minutes of climbing."

"The scenery of Iao Valley State Park is particularly beautiful. It is also a very historical place. There are still some ancient battlefield sites. The transportation is convenient. The whole park is beautiful and the air is particularly good."

"It was not long after the airport to see the valley, the area is very large, the view is all green and the air is very good, and also see many people with backpacks hiking in the valley"
