First, we pick you up at your hotel, and for this late tour that is usually between 09:30 pm and 10:00. We head up towards the mountains listening to music (about an hour ride, that would normally be dark anyway). Your guide, based on the conditions of weather, clouds, and the moon will take you to the optimum spot to see the stars. We get out and get situated with jackets, binoculars, drinks, taking pictures, and setting up the telescope. Then your guide will walk you across the visible sky with a laser pointer, pointing out that nights highlights. Then, we spend some time looking at the most interesting items of the sky with binoculars and telescopes. This tour is not for everyone, though. If you dont like loud music (we can give you earplugs) or a club atmosphere, we strongly recommend our earlier family run on our more subdued or traditional Mercedes vans.Once we have had our fill of the stars, we head back down the mountains, partying back to your resort!Additional InformationConfirmation will be received at time of bookingMinimum age is 18 yearsFor participants under 18, please see our earlier tour options.InclusionsHotel pickupHotel pickup and drop-offDriver/guideUse of Binoculars and TelescopeHot BeveragesClub Lighting and sound systemExclusionsAlcoholic drinks Gratuities (optional)Pick-up outside of the Waikoloa area unless arranged in advanceDeparture PointWe pick-up at the lobby of all major Waikoloa area resorts, including Hilton, Kingsland, Mauna Lani Resort Properties, Haruna Beach, Mauna Kea Resort, Puako Residences, Marriott, and Paniolo Greens.
