Mauna Kea Summit Adventures

Information may not be reliable

(Mauna Kea is the astonishing mountain that stands in the calm)

Since starting this outfit 25 years ago with an old Land Cruiser and a basket full of sweaters, my guides and I have had the enviable job of guiding nice folks, like you, to the beauty of Mauna Kea. For us, guiding Mauna Kea isn't a sideline or the greatest new visitor product. For us, it’s our passion, our responsibility and our pleasure.

We invite you to experience what is quite possibly the most dramatic and stimulating scenery to be found anywhere, either on or off planet earth. Journey to the top of this spectacular mountain in the comfort of our luxury vans, enjoy a hearty meal, watch the breathtaking sunset and stargaze at the heavens.

Professional Guides: As the pioneer guide service on Mauna Kea we have over 45 years of combined experience on the mountain.
