Big Island GOAT Experience: Mauna Kea Summit, pôr do sol e estrelas

The excursion itself is great, we actually did it a few years ago with a different company. This experience was just okay due to a few things. It's obviously very cold at the top, and all companies provide some sort of hot norishment. While this company provided cup o noodles, hot chocolate, and oatmeal.... THEY ONLY BROUGHT 4 FORKS AND ZERO SPOONS. (This was for the 20+ people on the tour). I find it very unprofessional to hear "the office didn't pack it". You are the guide, do a once over to endure you have what you need. Similar thing with running out of snacks, and no trash bag for wrappers/containers. There were dirty/used bags in w clean food which was a bit gross. This isn't a bargain basement price, so I don't think having adequate supplies is asking too much. I would highly recommend the experience, but check with other tour operators for it. Our previous experience far exceeded this one.

Bus was late to arrive and no indicators on the bus for verification. Sunset was amazing. Stargazing was pretty cool but was not well rehearsed. The coats were a great bonus. A well organized and clear night would be a great experience.

It was cool and all until one of the guides got hurt and we had to end the tour early. Dress warm, it’s cold up there.

This was a great tour experience to visit Mauna Kea, we were able to learn a lot of history while also seeing stunning views of sunset and more stars than I thought possible. Getting the telescopic photo with the milky way in the background was a huge win! Our guides Chris and Cade did a great job!

This entire experience was absolutely mind blowing we caught a beautiful sunset and then the stars or the stargazing portion of the tour seemed unreal the staff was super friendly and helpful everything went really well from beginning to end and I went up the volcano with my girlfriend and came down with a fiance. Very nice place to propose and definitely dress warm

A really great experience with knowledgeable guides, prioritizing safety, comfort and respect to the land and mountain.

Excellent tour! Friendly guide

This experience was worth it. It was really fun to see the sunset and the star gazing was incredible. Kela, Chris, and Kade were phenomenal guides and were super knowledgeable. The photos with the star gazing were also unbelievable. We highly recommend this for anyone wanting a trip up the Mauna Kea summit.

The experience at the summit itself was great! We loved our guide Tay, who was super friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the mountain and the stars. We booked on a great night where there was a good amount of time between sunset and moonrise, so we got a really clear view of the Milky Way. However, we did have some difficulty with the pickup. We were not told what vehicle to meet up with, so it was unclear what we were supposed to do. We ended up standing around in a parking lot on a hot day because we didn't know where to go. That part of the experience could have been made much better with just a little bit of effort by the tour company. But ultimately it was worth it as the summit experience more than made up for the inconvenience.

Amazing experience. i was a bit hesitant but it’s definitely worth it. Very knowledgeable staff which obviously makes things better.
