As the first company to specialize in tours to the mountain and the only company to offer only Mauna Kea tours, Mauna Kea Summit Adventures has a bit more cred than the rest of the pack. They use cushy new van coaches for their tours, bring along parkas and gloves, and serve dinner at the Visitor Center before heading up to sunset on the summit. They also bring along their own powerful telescope. The price is $185 per person.
