I was under the mistaken impression that this experience/tour went all the way to the top of Mana Kea, not a grass strip at 7,000ft ASL. It wasn’t until our guide Marcus, who was great by the way, mentioned we were going up to only 7,000ft that it became apparent this wasn’t a stargazing trip to the top of the mountain, nor even to the Visitors Center at 9,000ft. That needs to be stated in the description up front, not as the last sentence.
Marcus was great, and made the best of the situation. He was very knowledgeable in astronomy.
