Thank you for speaking to the ranger and mentioning age restrictions. I was in the process of planning a trip for my 9,3,1 year olds to see snow for the first time in January as we live on Oahu. Guess we’ll try somewhere else for the next 12 years 🤣
Man we really enjoyed the jeep we rented from you and being able to summit Mauna Kea was the icing on the cake! Having a jeep enabled us to enjoy the Big Island on a whole other level! We will definitely be renting again if we ever make it back!
What an AWESOME experience! My Wife and I will be talking to you guys in September of '25 to rent a Wrangler for the trip! We were referred to you by Jordan and Erica from The Hawaii Vacation Guide!
We did the drive up 2 weeks ago. One of the highlights of our trip. It was overcast and foggy so we ended up driving out of the clouds for a pretty cool sunset.
As someone who will be there in about a month, and who has never driven in 4 Low before, what is the process of driving down? Do you use the gas at all while going down the mountain? Or just foot off of the pedals and let the jeep go down on its own?
We plan to go to Mauna Kea in June 2024 (12-20). At 71 years old and overweight, I do not plan to go past the visitor's center. My questions - "Is the sunset great from there?" and "Is the star gazing good from there?
Aloha! Joe here. short answer is no. You can climb up the cinder cone and see from there but still being low oxygen, I wouldn't do it. All 4 of us in our group (ages 40-60) felt our hearts pounding a bit just walking up to the visitor center from the parking lot. I did shoot a video about whether or not you can see the sunset from the visitor center- Yes, a Renegade is fine to get to the visitor center, just not up to the summit as the Renegades don't have 4-low transfer case . ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WdFgTYTsw3Y.html yes stargazing is still nice at the visitor center and there is a guide there that does a whole thing and tells you about the stars, etc
