  What an incredible tour! Rob was a great guide. I learned a lot about the Mauna Kea history, geology, and significance to the Hawaiian people. He made the trip tons of fun and kept us informed of everything the whole time. Great snacks and hot chocolate too. Highly recommended!

  There are moments in life that simply transcend language — this was one of them. Standing on the summit of Mauna Kea, 13,000 feet above sea level, I watched the sun dip below a sea of clouds with my soulmate of 20 years by my side, it was nothing short of life-changing. The horizon ignited with colors I didn't know existed, as if the sky itself was exhaling its last breath of light. We sat in silence, overwhelmed — not by noise or thought — but by pure, soul-deep presence. It felt as though time paused just for us. The thin air made every breath feel intentional, every heartbeat more profound. As the light faded, the stars began to pierce the sky one by one, then in clusters — an infinite galaxy unfurling above us. We stayed for stargazing after sunset. I’d never seen the Milky Way with such clarity, or felt so small — and yet so deeply connected to everything. Gratitude doesn’t feel like a big enough word for what I felt. This was more than a view, more than a sunset, more than a night sky. It was a blessing. A reminder of what really matters. A moment that reminded me how lucky I am to share this life, this love, this planet. A moment of stillness and wonder I’ll carry with me forever. If you ever get the chance to go — go. But don’t just take pictures. Take it in. With your heart wide open. Quick shoutout and huge thanks to our incredible guides! Bing — thank you for getting us safely to our mountain guides and back home. Your driving made everything smooth and stress-free. Logan and Val — you two were amazing. From guiding us up the mountain, capturing stunning photos, keeping us safe, and even feeding us snacks — we couldn’t have asked for better leaders. A special shout-out to Val: The perfect tour guide. Kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and always looking out for our safety and happiness. On top of that, your star talk under the night sky, the fascinating history lessons, and the chance to look through your telescope at distant galaxies made the experience absolutely unforgettable. Thank you for getting us to the top of the world and back down — and for making the journey magical every step of the way.
