Very disappointed with the park, good amount of walks but not s single native forest. Should be called commercial plantation, as far as eye can see only non-native sitka spruce and recently harvested dead zones. Toilets were great and didn’t get a chance to check observatory as next tour was scheduled in hour so might have given another star if got that experience. The sad and shocking thing is that the park got green flag award, for what reason Im gobsmacked as there was nothing sustainable or promoting biodiversity apart of handful of native trees around car park🤷🏼‍♂️

A great spot for a family day out. We did the tour of the observatory, Ciara, our guide, was fantastic. A lovely, warm, friendly lady who was knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. The other ladies that were on reception were super friendly and welcoming as well which just added to the experience. We done the short (20 minute) trail through the forest and the solar walk to Beaghmore stone circles, (45 mins each way, taking our time to look around). The walk is mostly boardwalk which was lovely and we spotted lots of interesting wildlife. The stone circles at Beaghmore is a well kept site, very interesting and definitely worth the trip. We finished off the afternoon at the park and getting a photo with the star gazing giant. Overall a fantastic day out. Large free car parks Toilets at the playpark & observatory Grab & go snack shop & gift shop at the observatory Picnic benches Coffee cart at the stone circles site.

Escape the crowds and embark on an unforgettable evening off the Kona Coast near Waimea. Our "Sunset, Mantas, and Stargazing Private Charter" is the ultimate Big Island experience, combining three magical moments into one exclusive adventure. Your journey begins as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery shades of orange and pink. As twilight settles, we'll anchor in a prime location for the main event. Submerged lights illuminate the water, attracting majestic manta rays. Witness these gentle giants, with wingspans up to 16 feet, gracefully glide and somersault just inches below you in a mesmerizing oceanic ballet. It’s a truly humbling, up-close encounter you’ll never forget. But the magic doesn't end there. As we head back, far from the city's glow, you'll be treated to a breathtaking celestial show. The Hawaiian night sky reveals a brilliant tapestry of stars and the Milky Way in stunning clarity. This is more than a tour; it's a private memory in the making. Ready for an evening of pure wonder? Book your exclusive charter today and experience the best of Hawaii's land, sea, and sky.
