We had a terrific tour with our guide, John, to the top of Mauna Kea to see the beautiful sunset. Warm parkas & tasty snacks were provided. This was followed by an informative stargazing session & a surprise special photo taken with John’s special equipment. We highly recommend this tour and you will be lucky to get John as your guide.
Really great tour with John, a knowledgeable guide. He made the tour educational, informative, and fun.
Did this tour with my husband and had an amazing time. John was our guide and made our experience very pleasant. John made sure to take multiple stops to ensure everybody was well acclimatized to the high altitude and engaged well with all the information about the geography and everything. Sunset views from the observatory were beautiful. We did stargazing near the visitor center where John showed us different stars through his telescope
Our evening with John looking at the sunset and stars was amazing. The sunset from the top of Muana Kea was one of the best I have seen in my 50+ years. John had an extensive knowledge of the history of the island, astronomy, and the local flora and fauna. Our snacks and hot cocoa were perfect for our time at a high elevation. Anything heavier could have been a bit problematic. Overall an excellent evening and would highly recommend.
It was a great time and far exceeded my expectations. John, our guide, was really knowledgeable about the culture, history and the stars. Highly recommended this excursion.
Our Mauna Kea tour was truly the highlight of our Big Island vacation! Our tour guide, John, went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the history of Mauna Kea and explaining the surrounding areas along the way. His passion for the island and attention to detail made the experience even more meaningful. We always felt informed, engaged, and in good hands. The breathtaking views, unforgettable sunset, and incredible stargazing made this tour worth every penny. If you’re visiting the Big Island, I highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have John as your guide, you’re in for an amazing experience. Mahalo, John, for making our trip so memorable! 🌄✨🌌
John was an exceptional tour guide! Extremely knowledgeable and respectful of the land and the history. This was an absolute highlight of our trip and we are so grateful that he gave us such a memorable experience!
Happy to be on on this 7.5 hour tour with the super knowledgeable, conscientious, and helpful tour guide John Soreyama! My friends and I may now actually bother to remember how to locate the North Star, should our light-polluted-filled city skies back home allow, and marvel at the small but significant information of humans' understanding that the star's position correlates with one's latitude. Of course getting to top of the world's tallest mountain on this incredible island in such a comfortable fashion alone was the cat's meow, considering our "golden" years, but dipping our toes into a small slice of the starry skies was icing on the cake. Great short visit!
A sunset above the clouds you could never see from anywhere else. John was our tour guide for the day and made an incredible experience for us. He was so knowledgeable, nice and fun while taking great care of us with his attentive driving, coats, food and hot chocolate. We were so glad we didn’t try to drive this on our own not only because of the steep and small roads, but also because we would have missed so much of his experience and knowledge of the summit and island. The star gazing with him showing us the stars, planets and zodiac signs and how many light years away everything is. It was unexpected and really fun. Now the sunset- just unreal. We took so many pictures it was so so beautiful to see. We were also fortunate to have the moon rising at the same time. Thanks John for a day we will cherish as a special vacation memory.
Booking the Mauna Kea Sunset and Stars tour with Taikobo was the highlight of our family trip to the Big Island, and our guide, John, made it absolutely incredible! The small group size of just 9 people made the entire experience feel personalized, and John was a phenomenal driver up the rugged summit roads. Watching the sunset from the peak was breathtaking, but the stargazing portion was where John really made our night! My son is a huge astronomy buff and really wanted to see nebulae. John went completely out of his way, taking extra time to align the telescope and track down beautiful deep-space nebulae just for him. His deep knowledge of the cosmos and patient, engaging attitude made it an unforgettable night for our family. The heavy parkas and hot cocoa kept us warm, but John’s hospitality is what we will remember most. If you book with Taikobo, ask for John!
