Communication was quick and frequent. More importantly Hunter gave us the best tour describing the geolocal formations and the local flora/fauna on our trip to the top. The sunset was topped off with some delicious hot chocolate and cookies (seriously, this was not your average Swiss miss instant!) While listening to a great talk during our stargazing. Book with these guys, you won't be sorry!

It was a great experience. Ceanna was a very informative and entertaining guide. I would love to do the same tour next time I am in Hawaii

A very well organized tour. Tony and Jessica had an abundance of knowledge. They left plenty of time for the sunset. Then picked a perfect spot for stargazing. All by ourself no crowd to deal with. The vehicle and driving was all good. The good weather was a real bonus. Thanks
