Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Good, but not for everyone
Reviewed by: Laura, 2024/10/27Gorgeous, unimaginably beautiful views. Very interesting and informative guided tour. Strenuous though, they warned us about the low oxygen and a couple people were visibly feeling ill. "Dinner" was hot but not very good (heavily salted vegetable lasagne).

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Family memory created!
Reviewed by: Missy S. , 2024/10/26My husband, adult daughter, and I had a spectacular time on this excursion. Our driver/guide/astronomy guru, Maka, was the lynch-pin of the whole experience. After seeing the beautiful sunset at the top, we scurried down to set up for our tour of the night sky. Maka has significant knowledge, a great sense of humor, and an amazing telescope! We all want a laser pointer now!! Fortunately, the three of us experienced only giddiness as an effect of the altitude…the three of us were silly and laughed so much. What a great memory! We had rented a Jeep for our week on the Big Island. Someone had suggested we were wasting our money going on a tour, rather than driving ourselves. But, though the tour was not inexpensive, it was worth every penny for the experience! Highly recommend!!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Our Driver was 95 out of 100
Reviewed by: OSAMU M., 2024/09/23It was our 2nd time at the summit after 14 years with your company and we were more concerned about the summit weather due to last time it was so windy and cold to stay outside of the car.
But, the weather this time thanks to god it was good to watch the sunset.
Our driver was so nice was caring, professional skill of guiding and a gentleman.
He was caring everyone.
This made our trip OUTSTANDING.
I would recommend this trip to anyone eligible it is good tour with a Mercedes 4WD van with 14 passengers.

マウナケア山頂 サンセット＆星空観測ツアー ＜午後／天体望遠鏡／夕食付／英語ガイド＞ by ハワイフォレスト＆トレイル
天候が悪く、マウナケア山頂での日の入りは見られませんでした
Reviewed by: けほや, 2024/09/15ハワイ本島での現地ツアーです。元々の予定は、車で山頂（4200メートル）に登り日の入りを見学、その後別の場所で夜空で星を観察というものでした。
ところが、途中のビジターセンター（2800メートル）で辺りが雲に覆われて道路が閉鎖され、山頂に行けませんでした。マウナケア山頂は雲の上にあり天候リスクが少ないと聞いていましたが、途中の道が閉鎖されるリスクを認識しました。
その後、少し下った広場（1800メートル）で夜空の星を観察出来ました。土星も見え、星空は素晴らしかったです。

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Unforgettable experience
Reviewed by: David D, 2024/09/11Todd, our guide, was great. Great driving up the steep dirt road. Great info about the geology, topography, observatories, constellations and more. Engaging, informative. All the other details too - nice sandwich, hot beverage and clothing for the cold. Did I forget to mention the views? Fantastic views of the sun setting into the Pacific and a clear night sky.

AMAZING!!!
Reviewed by: Leigh, 2024/09/06God’s amazing creativity seen through volcanic activity and celestial bodies. Truly an experience you won’t forget. Maka was the best. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Be forewarned that if you have altitude problems, you may fell icky at the summit. Take it slowly. You’ll fell better when you descend.

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation
Exceeded our wildest expectations
Reviewed by: Martin, 2024/08/26I'm embarrassed to say that I balked a little at first at the cost of this tour. Let me tell you, 15 minutes into the tour it felt like a total bargain.
The van was super comfortable and clean. We were running a little late and the tour guide called us to make sure we were going to make it. He was kind and understanding.
Our guide's make was Kea. He was the best guide of any tour I've taken in thirty years. So much local knowledge, and very generous with his experience and expertise. He made everyone on the trip feel like an individual. Also, he's hilarious.
The stargazing was simply mind blowing. It was like looking into deep space for nearly two hours. We lost count is the shooting stars after 15.
Kea was also very knowledgeable about the stars and the telescope we used was amazing. We saw nebulas, globular clusters, binary stars, and more.
After a long day, full bellies, and stargazing it was a real relief to have someone else driving us down the dark mountain.
I'll wrap things up by thanking our guide one more time. The quality of this tour really felt like it came from the quality of the person who shared his knowledge with us.

Mauna Kea Summit Stargazing tour
Reviewed by: Jana, 2024/08/19Wow! What an amazing experience. We were so glad we took this tour instead of attempting this ourselves. It was beyond our wildest dreams, like leaving earth and visiting Mars. Just incredible. Our tour guide, Arthur, was extremely knowledgeable. We all learned a tin from him through the tour. I highly recommend him.
The food was from a local restaurant and was delicious. The bus was comfortable and I would not have wanted to drive to the summit in a rental car. That alone was worth the rate.
Also, Parkas and gloves were provided and they were super nice and warm. This tour was by far thi highlight of our trip to Hawaii. Do not hesitate. The experience is incredible and better than we could have possibly imagined. Not to be missed. And...it's cheap when you consider the quality I'd the experience. We LOVED it.

Do this! Even if you're not into tours...
Reviewed by: Geoff & Elisabeth, 2024/07/04Sunset from the summit! This is a $ splurge, at least for us, but between the quirky Hawaiian history and mythology lesson plus solid science and general kind authenticity of our guide Addison; the "you'll never see a sunset quite like this one" moment; a humbling and breathtaking view looking out at the galaxy; and the luxury of being a passenger rather than a driver, with convenient pick-up and drop-off...totally worth it. Thanks for the highlight!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Meal, Transportation & Guide
Absolutely amazing!
Reviewed by: Phil, 2024/06/18Francis was a really fun guide and took care of us really well, making sure we were all doing okay with the high elevation. Sunset was gorgeous, seeing the moon through an 80x telescope was really cool, watching the stars come out was great. If you have a choice, go during a new moon, we had about 70% moon and it created a lot of light pollution in the sky. The other guide (Tom?) was really good at pointing out all the main constellations, even naming some of them in various different languages since we had a mixed ethnic group. Very knowledgeable. Phenomenal, phenomenal tour.

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner
Great tour
Reviewed by: Elena M, 2024/02/26Henry is a wonderful tour guide. He told us so many interesting things about Big Island culture, history, plants, geology, stars. He was great with the kids and took a good care of us all. The Rainbow fall was beautiful and the banyan tree nearby was insane! The star gazing was great even though the conditions were not the best (bright moon). For me the best experience of the tour was getting deep inside the cave - it was amazing, I had never seen anything like it.

Worth the money for sure!
Reviewed by: Sue, 2024/01/06We really enjoyed this tour. It is a long one so be prepared. But they keep you hydrated and fed. I loved the black sand beach, and the sea turtles and the stop along the shore the most. But all of the events were really fun. They packed so much into one day. it was a great tour and we had a lot of fun. The picnic, the stop at the bakery, and the dinner, you were all excellent quality as well.

I would do this trip again! But I would pack some additional clothes; it was cold at that elevation.

Mauna Kea Evening Stargazing & Daytime Solar Viewing Tour with Dinner
Stargazing tour
Reviewed by: Kavya Ganapathy, 2023/12/30The trip was fantastic and Ray was super informative. It was a beautiful night and we got to see a lot of stars and planets and the moon rising as well. It was spectacular and a must try for everyone! We thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it!! Also loved the hot chocolate touch at the end because it was quite cold on the slopes. The pickup and drop off was on time. The one thing that could have been better in my opinion was the food options and I also wished we had stopped somewhere to see the spectacular sunset. Apart from that, we really enjoyed it
