Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

I love this trip!

Reviewed by: SFBayArea, 2008/03/18

This was a wonderful, amazing tour! The sunset view from the summit of Mauna Kea is incomparable. I felt like I was standing on top of the world. The stargazing was also wonderful. I never saw the stars so clearly before. My tour guide was Buck, who gave us a great astronomy beginner's lesson. He also was very professional, and knowledgeable about other aspects such as the culture, history, and environmental ecology of the island. I highly recommend this trip to everyone. Bring gloves and a knitted cap--you will use them. The tour company will provide parkas. Cookies and hot chocolate before stargazing was a nice touch!

Mauna Kea Summit Adventures Sunset & Stargazing Guided Tour with Transportation

Scaling new heights

Reviewed by: Cain, 2008/02/26

WOW! What a fun evening! We were reluctant to do this activity but it turned out be the most enjoyable of all of our adventures in Hawaii. You would never know you were in Hawaii atop this beautiful snow capped mountain. The sights are unbelievable and the sunset probably the best you will ever see. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating. This is a must do activity in Hawaii. You won稚 be disappointed.

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Simply Amazing!

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2007/07/27

Having grown up in Hawaii, I have grown very fond of Mauna Kea and it is definitely my favorite place to be. This trip, though pricey, is well worth the expense. When will you ever see both the North Star and Southern Cross in one place? And when will you ever feel like you can just reach out and touch the stars. The staff is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions and concerns. This is by far the best tour I have ever taken on the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique adventure or anyone interested in the stars!

Mauna Kea Summit Sunset & Stargazing Tour with Dinner - Hawaii Forest & Trail

Mona Kea trip is wild.

Reviewed by: Dale Spady, 2007/07/06

The drive up the volcano is "trip" in itself. The steep, winding, narrow road with a shear dropoff on the side is a pulse pounder. Be ready for the thin atmosphere at the top. Overall, it was an exciting and very unique experience that I would recommend to all adults.

Trip to Top of Mona Kea

Reviewed by: Carolyn S. Nelson, 2007/04/26

Over many years of taking tours, I have seen many tour guides. However Buck Pelley ranks at the top of the stack. He is incredibly knowledgeable on such topics as geology, astronomy, plant life, and the history of the area. I hope that Buck remains as a tour guide. I would take another tour with him anytime anywhere.

The only thing that I would improve on the tour is the dinner. Although I understand the challenge of bringing food to the top of Mona Kea, the fish could have been hotter with a lot less salt. While the soup was good it was barely warm. Cookies were excellent

Best wishes,
Carolyn Nelson
