Hello! We are planning to visit Mauna Kea summit in our upcoming visit to Big Island. Some of the tours allow a pick up near the parking lot at Cinder Cone by Hwy 200 Saddle road. Is it safe to park the car there and join the tour from there? Or is it more advisable to choose a tour which picks up directly from the hotel?

Hi Pankti, Saddle road is easily accessible, and I assume there is parking at the pickup spot. Please make sure you are physically prepared for altitude, and enjoy your tour!
