Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting stories. The stats were great and the sunset was beautiful. Very cold though so dress warm.

This was amazing!!! If you come to the big island Do Not miss this tour or tour guide company. Our tour guide and driver was Nate. He was knowledgeable about the island and history on the island. They do a great job at keeping everyone safe so the van was not too full. The can was very comfortable. Even on the unlaced roads. They used two vans to get the whole group up to the Summit. The other driver was Hunter and he did the star shows and took the photos for us. The two guides worked great together at making it a most memorable trip. So glad I booked with them!!! Well worth it!

The views from Mauna Kea were spectacular and Bronson the driver/guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture, and geography, and geopolitical issues of the area. The view of the stars was unmatched and I have been to many dark sky locations all over the world to stargaze and photograph the night sky.
