You will also get to learn about the mountain's geological and natural history.

Watch the sky change colour as the sun goes down and the stars begin to appear. While your guide points out interesting stars, enjoy a picnic dinner and indulge in dessert and tea under a magical star-studded sky. As it gets colder, sip on some hot chocolate and look through a state-of-the-art 11' Celestron telescope at the spectacular celestial show in the Hawaiian night sky.
