What a magical night!! Seeing the starlit sky was a breathtaking experience, and Christian was such an amazing guide. It was simultaneously relaxing and fun/interactive. A beautiful way to spend an evening in Maui. Highly recommend!
This was such a fun and unique experience I don’t think you’ll be able to find many other places. Due to the lack of light position, the amount of stars that were visible was truly breathtaking. Christian was clearly knowledgeable in all things space and I’d say 95% of what I learned was knew and interesting facts I’d never been taught about the stars. For this tour you get to sit on the beach in the dark (also it’s byob, who doesn’t love that?) while Christian not only tells you about the stars but also shows you through a high tech telescope. He was open to questions and always had an answer. 10/10 would recommend, this was such a magical experience and I learned a lot.
We loved the entire experience, especially our 6 year old. Rael (hopefully I spelled her name correctly), our tour guide did an amazing job. If we were to visit Maui again, we would definitely book this tour again!
We didn't get to go because it was raining and very cloudy 😕 very sad ..but the Tour guide called us and said to re schedule but unfortunately we only have 2 more days here in maui hawaii..
If you are starry-eyed about astronomy and typically drop the word "nebula" into daily conversation, then experts Christian and his partner in planetary punditry are speaking your language. Be amazed by what you can see with the naked eye, as outlined by Christian with his laser pointer. The limited views through the telescope were less than enthralling, but that might differ nightly depending on conditions. The hosts are particularly adept at drawing in kids 10 and up who are genuinely interested in the stars.
An absolutely unforgettable experience! We went on the Stargazing tour and were blown away. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making complex astronomy concepts so easy to understand for the whole family. We got clear, breathtaking views of the Moon's craters and Jupiter view through the high-powered telescopes.
Depending on the clouds, it’s amazing. Also great to hear about Hawaiian culture and the stars. Great way to experience the beach at night too!
lots of great info, dark sky, good telescope. able to see Jupiter and its moons! also able to find objects I never would’ve found in my own not very visible to the naked eye
Christian and Raelle were both knowledgeable and fun! Great place to see the stars! You’ll learn things the fun way!
This was by far the best thing I did in Maui! The stars were absolutely incredible. Looking through the telescope at the different star clusters, nebulae, and planets was epic. Christian and Raelle were fantastic guides and shared so much fascinating info about the universe. 10/10 would recommend if you want to see a beautiful night sky and learn all about astronomy.
