Dette er en svindel tur med mange spøkelsesfirma navn. IKKE KJØP. Når du kjøper, vil du få uigenkjente avgifter på kredittkortet ditt. Dette skjedde med meg. Det er viktig å erkjenne at svindeloperatører ofte stole på sosial engineering taktikk for å manipulere forbrukere. Denne svindeloperatøren har brutt kontrakten og ikke gitt turen som det ble lovet med kjøpet mitt. Dette fikk passasjerene til å signere dokumentet for bare å ta bilder, men dette var ikke samtykket til å drive turen. Ifølge informasjon på Hawaii State Secretary of Business - Samarbeid, Hawaii Eyes Tour er IKKE et aktivt og godt stående selskap for å drive en tur. Når jeg gjorde en tvist krav på kredittkortet mitt, delte Nature School alle passasjerer kontakt og privat informasjon offentlig ved å skjule / dekke selskapets navn "Hawaiian Eyes Tour" nederst i dokumentet. Det er en svært dyr tur - det er ikke verdt det å betale $ 260 . Turguiden West er den mest arrogante, fiendtlige og uhøflige personen. Jeg spurte hans navn - og - han sa at du vil lære navnet hans etter å ha satt når han gir en introduksjon. Jeg har stilt en annen spørsmål om turen, sa han ikke har kommet til dette emnet ennå og at jeg bør vente og være tålmodig. Han behandler kundene som et barn eller en hund. Han ringer passasjerene ved å kategorisere deres opprinnelsesland. En av gjestene hadde høydesyke og han ignorerte ham. Faktisk var det ingen oksygen tank i vanen mens de hadde bedragende fortalt om turbeskrivelsen. På toppen, jeg skjelvet på grunn av kulden da han tok mitt bilde og han sa "stopp skjelve, jeg tok 10 bilder av deg. " De var villedende beskrive på tur side at de ville gi jakker, men han har ikke tilbudt meg noen - så jeg brukte mine egne lag, men andre gjester brukte turens klær. Kanskje tar på - og - av lag under turen, min trøye har gått tapt eller blandet seg med, og jeg spurte ham om han kunne sjekke sine reiseruter for å se på min trøye. Han fortalte meg om jeg fortalte ham at han hadde stjålet min trøye; og så dumpet han de pakkede klærne på parkeringsplassen og sa om jeg kunne sette dem på plass - selv han sjekket dem ikke. Ved slutten av turen dumpet han alle kundene til parkeringsplassen i Target, hvor det er mørkt og det er ingen offentlig transport tilgjengelig sent på natten. Passasjerene er for det meste internasjonale med språkbarriere og ny til HI å navigere. Jeg har aldri sett en slik villedende reklame - denne turen er ikke verdt så mye penger å gå til toppen av fjellet i en dårlig kvalitet van med en gal turguide.

We tried a couple of times to make it to the top, the weather finally cooperated and we were able to make it to the summit. The views were amazing! Felt like we were on top of the world, and we only had to drive up! The Rangers at the gate gave advice and tips for driving. It was super easy as long as you followed directions. Really cool to see all the observation stations on the summit. It was very cold and windy on the summit. Bundle up! Definitely worth it in my opinion! Make sure to acclimate to the high altitude to avoid getting sick. We hiked a little on the summit and felt a little light headed. Be cautious!

This is a scam tour with many ghost company names. DO NOT PURCHASE. Once you purchase you will get unrecognized charges to your credit card. This happened to me. It is important to recognize that scam operators often rely on social engineering tactics to manipulate consumers. This scam operator has breached the contract and not provided the tour as it was promised with my purchase. This made the passengers sign the document for taking pictures only but this was not the consent to operate the tour. Per information at Hawaiian Secretary of State Business-Cooperation, Hawaiian Eyes Tour is NOT an active and good standing company to operate a tour.Once I made a dispute claim to my credit card, Nature School shared all passengers contact and private information publicly by hiding/covering the company’s name “Hawaiian Eyes Tour” on the bottom of the document.

It is an extremely expensive tour—it is not worth it to pay $260. The tour guide West is the most arrogant, hostile and rude person. I asked his name-and-he said you will learn his name after seating when he gives an introduction. I have asked another question about the tour​, he said he has not come to this topic yet and that I should wait and be patient. He treats the customers like a kid or dog. He calls the passengers by categorizing their country of origin. One of the guests had a high altitude sickness and he just ignored him. Matter of fact there was no oxygen tank in the van while they had deceptively told on the tour description. At the summit, I was shivering because of the cold when he was taking my picture and he said "stop shaking, I took 10 pictures of you." They were deceptively describing on the tour side that they would give jackets but he has not offered me any—so, I used my own layers but other guests used the tour's clothings. Perhaps taking on-and-off layers during the trip, my sweater has been lost or mixed up with and I asked him if he can check his itineraries to look at my sweater. He told me if I was telling him he had stolen my sweater; and then he dumped the packed clothings to the parking lot and he said if I could put them in place-even he did not check them. At the end of the tour, he dumped all the customers to the parking lot in Target where it is dark and there is no public transportation available in the late night. The passengers are mostly international with language barrier and new to HI to navigate. I have never seen such a deceptive advertisement- This tour is not worth this much money to go to the top of the mountain in a poor quality van with a crazy tour guide.

Shin was an awesome guide and shared so much interesting information with us. The views were out of this world! It was so cool to be at the balmy beautiful beach on one day and then the next day be up amongst the clouds seeing the ocean from the top of the world. The sky was massive and the stars were so bright.

We were hoping to catch the sunset and stars from the summit during our trip. We had several rainy days that were forecasted but still attempted to go and were so glad we did. It rained the majority of the drive to the volcano but once we started climbing higher we were above the clouds and the sun was shining. Once you arrive at the visitors center all cars are required to stop and check in here. If you are planning to go to the summit to watch the sunrise, you will need an all-wheel drive vehicle and an informational talk with the park ranger prior to your ascent. While we did have an all-wheel drive vehicle that could drive to the summit we chose to stay at the visitor’s center. The workers at the visitor’s center suggested this small “hike” up this hill to get the best view of the sunset, we did it and it was amazing. Afterwards we waited in our car and hung out at the visitor’s center waiting for the sun to completely set so we can stargaze. The temperature drops quickly so be sure to bring warm layers, it was about 40 degrees at the visitors center once the sun was completely gone. Another reason why we forwent going to the summit was 30 minutes after the sunsets is when you have to depart down the mountain to the visitors center. If you want to stargaze, parking is at the visitor’s center and started to fill up and eventually get full when everyone at the summit was coming down. Seeing the starts was beautiful. You can see the milky way with the naked eye. The visitor’s center also had a scheduled little informational talk in where they talked about the ancient Hawaiians using the stars for navigation and pointed those out along with visible constellations. They used a laser pointer that pointed directly what they wanted you to look at. Totally worth a visit and this visit we did was free.

Well worth the drive to the top if you hava an AND or 4x4. Views are stunning. Take warm clothes. You will not be disappointed. It was my 2nd favorite thing on the big island besides a helicopter tour with landing that cost a boatload.......and this is free. We even saw the A3 comet on the way down.

We had such an incredible experience going to the Mauna Kea at sunset. We almost decided to skip this, but we met a couple that said it was one of the best experiences they had. They convinced us to go, and we are so glad they did!! The drive from our hotel to the entrance wasn't too bad. We definitely could feel the elevation difference, so we just made sure to go slow. Once we hit the entrance, it was a steep way up, but fully paved. We pulled off at one point to take a beautiful picture of the sunset. Just continue going up slowly. Feel free to let other cars pass you, too. Once we were at the visitor center, we realized there just wasn't enough time to acclimate ourselves for about a half hour before the trek up to the summit. The visitor center doesn't have many lights, but it still didn't make it fully dark. We noticed some people using their phone flashlights to go up a hill right across from the visitor center, so we decided to do that, too, and we are SO glad we did! It wasn't too bad of a hike up the hill, just go slowly because of the oxygen levels in the air. Once at the top, we turned off our flashlight and were absolutely AMAZED by the view. You could see the Milky Way galaxy, a planet (I can't remember which one now), and so many incredible stars. If you are nervous about the summit/elevation change/4WD, I think you can literally see just as well from here. Don't skip out on this. It is absolutely incredible. I even saw a shooting star on our walk back down! Just make sure to bring a jacket, gloves, pants, and sneakers.

We went with a Tour company to take us up to the Summit (sunset).
Amazing experience & breathtaking views. The tour company even brought a telescope - powerful enough to see the intricate details of the moon!
It was worth having a tour company, because you can learn all the history behind the Summit.

Beautiful views! Free entry!

I went during midday, though, and wish I went to stargaze. We weren't originally planning on going to the summit and enjoyed the Visitor's Center. The ride from Kona didn't feel too long. We didn't feel the elevation, though it did feel chilly at that point. My windbreaker was enough, though my mom wore her jacket.
As we were leaving, we talked with the ranger who checked our car and then we decided to go the rest of the way up since we were already here!

The ride was dirt for the first chunk and quite bumpy! We gained elevation quickly and my mom got some altitude sickness. Once at the top, we walked around and took pictures of the observatories. We saw Haleakla on Maui from our vantage point. It was CHILLY and I wish I had my sweatpants. With just a windbreaker and shorts, though, I was able to run around and get some pictures of the scenery. The observatories are NOT open for walk in visitors.

The ride down was the same up (but reverse). The ranger at the Visitor Center checked the temp of our breaks and told us to pull over to let them cool for 15 minutes.

There are clean bathrooms and water filling station at the Visitor Center.

If I could, next time I would love to train to do the hike from the visitor center to the summit. It's about 4-5miles long, big elevation gain, and takes around 8 hours. Because of the temperatures when it gets dark, they discourage hikers who start after noon. Those who I talked to really enjoyed it, but did say it was pretty challenging.

The Big Island is one of the only places on earth where you can be sitting on the beach at lunch and then drive directly to the top of a 14,000 foot volcano for a ridiculously beautiful sunset.

We drove up to Mauna Kea for the sunset. There is a large parking lot next to the visitors center. The visitors center has public restrooms. Although we were in a 4WD vehicle, we opted not to go to the summit. It was really close to sunset when we arrived. We parked, walked across the road and followed other groups up to the top of a large hill. The viewing was spectacular. We went the first week in March. Even though we were having beach days, Mauna Kea was having winter storm warnings that week! You need warm clothes up there! As we drove up the sun was shining. We saw a rainbow end to end! When we parked and stepped out of the jeep it was cold! Think pants, jackets, layers, gloves! We walked through a cold mist. It almost seemed like snow flurries hiking up the hill. You need good shoes with traction. It’s a short but steep climb up the hill on dirt and rocks. The view is rewarding. We don’t regret not going to the actual summit. Coming down after the sunset it was even colder. We were hiking through clouds. It was nice to experience.
