Greg stands out as the star of this experience, bringing genuine passion and deep knowledge about astronomy to every session. Reviewers consistently praise his engaging teaching style and ability to connect with different groups, from kids to international visitors. He skillfully blends science with Hawaiian navigation traditions, using a laser pointer to help everyone follow along as he guides viewers through constellations, planets, and deep-sky objects. The telescope views of Saturn's rings seem to be a particularly emotional highlight for many guests, with some calling it a life-changing sight. The experience feels intimate and educational, with Greg taking time to answer questions and relate celestial objects to where they'd appear in visitors' home skies. He uses both traditional telescopes and a smart telescope connected to an iPad, then shares the captured photos afterward. One practical note: parking can be challenging near the meeting spot, so plan extra time if you're not walking from a nearby hotel. Several guests mentioned this was their favorite activity during their entire Hawaii trip, which speaks volumes about the quality of the stargazing session.
We were in Hawaii for 2 weeks and my wife said this was her favorite thing we did (and we did a lot). Our sky guide was very knowledgeable and we had a great time.
