Party your way up and back to the Mauna Kea / Mauna Loa range in the Big Island Party Bus for an evening of fun seeing the stars at the best and most consistent viewing spot on the island.     At our selected spots, enjoy a narrated tour of the night sky, major constellations, planets, galaxies. Our guides will set up telescopes and binoculars and walk you through the highlights of the Hawaiian Night Sky.  Enjoy hot chocolate, coffee or tea and use our jackets (provided, since you didn't think you'd need them in Hawaii). Your chances of seeing a shooting star, the Milky Way and stars that you may have never seen are awesome in the middle of the Pacific, which is why Mauna Kea has so many world class observatories.  And the bus ride itself is an event.   Our "late bus" can be a wild party.   Leave the driving to us if you've had a few drinks at dinner...no problem!  Our rocking sound system will make the ride itself an event.

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 night's 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 don't 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!
