Employment opportunities

Work with Mauna Kea Summit Adventures

A Kona-coast ecotour operator established in 1983, guiding visitors into an extraordinary high-elevation Hawaii Island experience.

Guide role

Bring an informed, steady presence to the road.

The current employment page describes a guide opportunity of two to three shifts per week as of February 1, 2026. The role sits in an experience where the guide is part educator, part careful operator, and part welcoming host.

Because staffing needs can change, use the current application information supplied by the operator before submitting any materials. Do not send employment documents through the general reservations channel unless the current employment instructions explicitly direct you to do so.

What the public employment page emphasizes

  • Top-industry-pay, medical, and dental benefits as published on the current page.
  • An established Kona-coast ecotour operator with a long mountain history.
  • A distinct guide-application pathway, separate from customer reservations.
