One of the best tours I’ve been on made possible by Travis the tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended!!

Hunter and Tony have been very courteous, knowledgeable, extremely friendly and patient throughout the entire experience. They care about everyone on the tour, give clear agenda information and accommodative when there are needs. They also are very mindful about protecting the Mauna Kea eco-system and educating the tourists when necessary, which is highly appreciated. The entire experience is well organized. Definitely highly recommend to anyone considering to come, and will come back for sure!

It's freezing at summit, but it's really really amazing view for sunset, thanks to our guide, the other guide call him "sexy tony" I think like the big bang theory said smart is new sexy, he is extra sexy by his smart talking skill and knowledge, really like night, just waiting for my photo!
