You do not have to book a tour to experience Mauna Kea! Being a part of a group tour or doing things on your own is a definitely a personal preference. As for me, I love going at my own pace and saving some money by not purchasing tours. 1.

You are welcome to drive your vehicle on the Mauna Kea Summit Rd. to the Mauna Kea Visitor Information Station. Driving is not allowed in the restricted area beyond the visitor center. Albeit, there are a handful of hikes you can take from the parking area.
