Led by an astronomer and astro-photographer, our tours avoid the crowded Onizuka Visitor Center and take place at quiet, remote locations on Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa. Time slots are handpicked to avoid bright moonlight and maximize your view of the night sky. Each 90 minute experience includes: • A guided star talk by our astronomer using a Celestron Origin smart telescope • Close-up telescope views of deep sky objects like nebulas, star clusters, and galaxies • Complimentary portraits taken by our astro-photographer with the Milky Way as your backdrop • Medium-resolution photos included at no extra cost • A stargazing guarantee — if the stars don’t show, the tour is free
1h 30mLed by an astronomer and astrophotographer, our stargazing experience combines expert astronomy, astrophotography, uncrowded locations, and our stargazing guarantee.

All ages welcome. Meet at our dark-sky location on the slopes of Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa. Relax in a reclining chair, sip hot chocolate, and watch the stars appear overhead.
