    We had a great time at the Mauna Kea summit. Our tour guide is very knowledgeable and thoughtful. He shared a lot of information and story along the trip. We stayed at the visitor center for 40 mins to prevent us feeling strong elevation sick. The ski pants and jackets that were provided by the tour guide were really helpful. We didn't feel cold at all. Overall HIGHLY recommend!

    It was beyond amazing!!! Been to the Big Island before but not Mauna Kea - it is a must do! Hiro is an incredible guide - so polite and respectful, AND he saved someone’s life towards the end of the trip (nice job Hiro).

    Wes and Mr. Aoki were great guides! Super down to earth and very patient with us. Mr. Aoki was super nice and went above and beyond to get us the perfect photos! You won't be able to capture the stars on your phones. Pay for the photo services. My family and I were definitely not feeling the best after the elevation gain and Wes checked up on us and made sure we were okay throughout the trip. Vans and food not the best compared to some of the other companies but Wes and Mr. Aoki definitely made up the difference through their exceptional service!

    Shawn our guide was excellent. Had to take a chance going up because the gate was closed but it was opened after awhile and made the trip. Beautiful!!

    We were in great hands with Stephan as our tour guide! Yes, you can by all means drive yourself up to Mauna Kea in your 4x4. You won't be toured around by a local and will be missing all the great information about this beautiful sacred ground. Stephan was an awesome guide, he tagged teamed it with Sean during the star gazing and constellation talk. We were able to see Venus, Saturn and Jupiter in their telescope. It was so amazing. BOOK THIS TOUR. I didn't even eat since I was so excited to be up there. I chose to have some hot green tea during the star gazing. Hot chocolate was the other option. We loved getting the digital photos airdropped to us right away taken of us by Stephan. We wouldn't have been able to capture The Milky Way with our iPhone cameras. Haha. I'd highly recommend this tour by Hawaiian Eyes Tour Company. We had an amazing time!

    Like being on top of the world without the effort of self-propelling up a mountainside. Beautiful views; guide Hiro was the best with great commentary and above average knowledge of the heavens. His star presentation was very interesting and his love for astronomy was evident and catching! Great tour, appreciated the warm coats and other gear provided. The pictures included to capture the memory with something other than a cell phone snapshot are great. Great tour and worth every cent!

    I took my mother on this tour. Both he and I had a lovely time admiring the sunset, stars, and learning a bit about the Hawaiian culture. It was cold, so I suggest planning accordingly. Our tour guide Stephan was very kind, knowledgeable, and fun.
