Kamaʻāina Observatory Experience Returns
The Kamaʻāina Observatory Experience (KOE) is a free tour program offering Hawai‘i residents the opportunity to visit world-class telescopes at the summit of Maunakea on Hawai‘i Island. This monthly program invites participants to learn about the scientific, cultural, and environmental importance of the mauna and then allows them to actually visit the inside of one of the telescopes atop Maunakea.
