Gypsy - some time ago I offered tours of the summit and at least a couple of the observatories to people here. There was essentially no interest. One person here took me up on the offer as well as many others on another Puna forum that no longer exists.
Both were fun tours and I hope that those who went along learned a lot about what goes on at the summit.
I am no longer in a position to offer those tours. We (UKIRT) operate remotely and with staffing levels that mean I have little spare time. However, if a date can be arranged by others which includes using or renting vehicles appropriate for driving to the summit, I'm open to leading another tour someday in the near future.
No beer though, not allowed at the summit (alcohol and altitude don't mix).
