Although we had driven to Mauna Kea on our own during past visits, this was our first tour. Our guides Wes and Aoki were terrific! They were friendly and knowledgeable about the cultural significance of the mountain. Because the Visitor's Center is not currently offering star parties, these guys brought their own telescopes and provided a high quality star gazing experience. They made sure everyone on the trip had what they needed. Our group was small, just 8 plus two guides which was perfect given COVID. When it came to photos, they worked hard to get it right and made sure everyone got the pictures they wanted. Best photos ever!! Note, their vans operate under the tour name Hawaiian Eyes. Would definitely recommend this tour whether it's your first trip to Hawaii or your 10th!
