Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour & Summit Sunset Adventure

Absolutely Brilliant!! A must do on the Big Island.

Reviewed by: Jarrod Blaker, 2022/03/12

Our Tour guide Travis was extremely knowledgeable on all things Hawaii (also quite humorous). He was super informative on the history, culture, geology and botany, and that was just on the ride to the summit. It is cold at the top, minus 2 deg Celsius when we were there. However warm jackets and gloves are provided. We took a beanie too which was a good idea.
The sunset is amazing on top of the clouds. We then drove down to 12,000 ft for the stargazing, which was incredible. Travis explained everything very well, and never rushed you. It was probably the best 8 hrs we have spent in Hawaii. Can’t recommend this tour any more highly. Thank you.

Twilight Volcano Tour with Stargazing, Black Sand Beach & Coffee Farm

Best ever

Reviewed by: Mary Rossi, 2022/03/04

The whole tour was well planned out and excuted. Drew was great and in the flow with weather conditions. Hewent above and beyond what he needed to do for all of us. Providing critical information and Hawaian History, mixed in with a little humor. Made it the best tour I have had to date. My grand kids said it was their favorite thing we did on our visit. Ages 11 and 14, you should know we snorkled with a tour. Parasailed and more. So Drew you win the best award from all of us. Thank you for a happy memory weshare and treasure forever.

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour & Summit Sunset Adventure

Incredible experience

Reviewed by: Deneen , 2022/02/28

Our tour guide Gage was both informative and very pleasant. The entire tour was amazing, with incredibly gorgeous views of both the sunset above the clouds and the star filled sky. Gage was very knowledgeable and pointed out many stars and constellations as well as providing many interesting facts. Please heed the advice about bringing layers of clothing. They provide the parka but I also recommend bringing a hat and gloves if possible. The food was also good but make sure to bring water.

Tour guide Aaron is amazing!

Reviewed by: Megan, 2022/02/26

Wow, if only every tour guide held a masters in history and was a native to the area they were leading a tour! Aaron was truly brilliant and super knowledgeable about everything from Hawaiian history to language and culture to geology and astronomy. His easy going personality put the group at ease, and we had fun connecting with the rest of the guests while learning a ton! The day flew by and we would do it all over again. Ask for Aaron!

I was not sure about spending so much time in the van. Travis was educational and fun. We had clouds, rain, sun and stars. It really was a wonderful experience. The food was fine. I appreciated the larger telescope and good star viewing.

Great tour

Reviewed by: Satisfied customer , 2022/01/29

A wonderful tour. Definitely worth while. Our tour guide, Aaron, was very knowledgeable. Learned so many things. From the coffee making process to the history of King Kamehameha. The night tour of lava view was great. Although you don’t actually see the lava itself you do see the red glow. It was a long day of touring but Aaron made it very enjoyable. Don’t miss the lava tube walk.

Knowledgeable and exciting

Reviewed by: Teresa, 2022/01/22

We loved this tour - being on the summit was amazing. You can always tell when your guide is excellent and passionate about what they are speaking about. Maka was amazing and knowledgeable not only of Mauna Kea and the surrounding areas but you could tell he loved astronomy. Highly recommend this and I’d we come back again we will try to time it in the summer on a new moon to see even more.

Reviewed by: SarahB, 2022/01/03

Our guide was informative and personable, and made the best of a bad situation as we arrived to the visitor station to find the road closed due to bad weather, then had to wait for an accident to be cleared on our way back down.

We are being refunded, no complaints!

We loved this excursion. We came prepared and had plenty of clothes, hats and gloves. The dinner was yummy.

Nicely done and very interesting. The scenery was fantastic. The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating. The veggie lasagna dinner was better than expected. It was a memorable lifetime experience. The snow that had fallen recently was an added bonus.

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour & Summit Sunset Adventure

“STAR”gazing!

Reviewed by: Adventure Grandma, 2021/12/11

This tour was Amazing! We have traveled to many fabulous places around the globe with lots of adventure & this tour was right up there with the best! Our guide, Gage, was fun, informative, patient, and an all-round delightful young man! Having to reschedule due to the Kona Low & Mauna Kea blizzard was easy & ultimately a better tour due to lots of beautiful snow at the summit! Our guide prepared us well for the seriously high altitude and checked on everyone frequently! Be sure to pack hats & gloves and the tour provided parkas were plenty warm. A couple e of things to keep in mind before going: bring a refillable water bottle, remember to nose in & slow pursed lip breathing out, bring your camera or cell phone for pictures, visit the restroom at the visitor center so you won’t have to go at very high elevation, and eat before the tour begins (the provided dinner is pretty simple). Just pack a smile and enjoy the “high”! The stargazing with the telescope was extra special! Who knows, we saw a Jedi, a snowman, & a crazy snowboarder so maybe you will too! Thanks for a great memory!

Reviewed by: Amanda , 2021/12/02

Derek had so much knowledge and an amazing personality! He made the tour personal and fun! This tour really takes you through some of the coolest parts of this island. Coffee farms, bakeries, black sand beaches with sea turtles, volcano glow, lava tubes, the most spectacular view of the stars, and so much more. It’s well worth the experience. The food was not so great, but everything else was beyond amazing so it made up for it. 10/10 would recommend this tour!

Reviewed by: Jacqueline Lorah, 2021/10/06

Ok, this is honestly one of the best tours I have ever taken. The van was super comfy, and our guide Arthur was informative, friendly, and honestly just plain fun! Obvious he LOVES this tour.

Words just cannot describe the beauty of this tour. From the drive up, to the spectacular sunset, to the jaw dropping star gazing......endless beauty. Plus, Arthur made sure we stayed safe, and kept us informed about what we should do and what to expect. I felt comfortable and at ease.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing experience. If you do one thing on the Big Island......do this.

Mauna Kea Stargazing Tour & Summit Sunset Adventure

Very Very Entertaining.

Reviewed by: H. Shoenfield, 2021/09/30

Tour Guide was an enthusiast, patient, native who shared culture, history, science, jokes and Hawaiian myths and songs. You can't ask for more from a guide. Try to book for a moonless night for best view of stars. They use an automated 11 inch telescope. The food was surprisingly very good (vegetable lasagna), the brownie decadent and the hot chocolate and biscotti at the end a nice touch. Had an issue finding the pick up spot, but a phone call resolved this since we were close. If you miss the sign for the international market (if that's your pick up spot), look for the 76 gas station, enter there and drive to the back. Dress warmly and bring a refillable drink. Cold (but not terribly) even with the given parka and gloves. A very enjoyable 8 hour afternoon & evening l

We had a great time viewing the sunset with our amazing guides Kekoa and Travis. There are a lot of companies that run these tours, but our guides made this one the best of them all. They were both very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. Most of all, however, Kekoa and Travis have big smiles and even bigger hearts. They brought the spirit of Mauna Kea and o'hana into this experience. The sunset from the summit was miraculous, the lasagna and brownie absolutely delicious and the star gazing was out of this world!
