Hawaii Stargazing
Are the Stars Out Tonight?
The original Sunset and Stargazing Tour
Since starting this outfit 23 years ago with an old Land Cruiser and a basket full of sweaters, my guides and I have had the enviable job of guiding nice folks, like you, to the beauty of Mauna Kea. For us, guiding Mauna Kea isn’t a sideline or the greatest new visitor product. For us, its our passion, our responsibility and our pleasure.
We invite you to experience, what is, quite possibly, the most dramatic and stimulating scenery to be found anywhere, either on or off planet earth.

Tour of the Stars
A Cosmic Experience!
Experience the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa’s very own rooftop astronomy program!
More than 1,000 years ago, voyaging Polynesians were guided to the Hawaiian Islands with the help of the stars. Now you can view those stars and much more using Hawaii’s only recreational telescope, “Great White”. This 16-inch reflector telescope sits more than nine stories up, on a remote site of the hotel rooftop. Our Director of Astronomy uses a computer to select an agenda, locate and identify 1,000 objects in the sky including stars, planet, galaxies and nebulae. Participants first learn to interpret the sky with the unaided eye, then with giant astronomy binoculars, and ultimately with ‘Great White”.
