Additionally, you can access extensive fitness centers 24/7 at both Mauna Kea Beach and The Westin.
Golf
The Mauna Kea Resort offers two phenomenal 18-hole championship golf courses: the award-winning Mauna Kea Golf Course, designed by Robert Trend Jones Sr., and the Hapuna Golf Course, the brainchild of Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.
Child-friendly
The hotel also has a kids club: Mauna Kea Keiki Club.
Activities
The hotel features an Award-Winning Seaside Tennis Club – located directly by the sea – and 2 fitness centers.
The resort also offers fun experiences:
Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours
With the new VIP Heli experience from Blue Hawaiian, you can customize and personalize your own helicopter tour. During these tours, you will see waterfalls from the air that are normally inaccessible.
Manta Rays
Take an evening walk to Manta Ray Point and enjoy a nighttime show as the manta rays gracefully 'dance' in the spotlight. You can also choose to swim with these elegant creatures during the Manta Ray Moonlight Swim.
Stargazing
Go with an expert and a telescope to look at the stars. Here, you will see things that are normally invisible to the naked eye. Listen to stories and experience the movements of the night sky. The summit of Maunakea is home to an international astronomy community and is the perfect place to do this.
