The tour company can't be blamed for the weather and it wasn't the best. On the way up, we were in and out of clouds and rain, so there wasn't much to see. Still, the sunset was beautiful in its own way. Our driver/guide was Ray. He gave us lots of information about the island, but was it bit difficult to understand him at times. The included dinner at Café O Lei after viewing the sunset was very good. A second driver took us back to our hotel after dinner.
This tour does NOT take you to the summit, which is at 10,000 feet. The sunset is viewed from the Visitor Center Parking lot area; elevation approximately 9,700 feet.
This tour is a bus, carrying about 20-25 people. We prefer small group tours, but not a lot of tour companies offer the sunset tour.
