Join Trish of Amazing Maui Stars for a small-group evening at Haleakala National Park. Learn about Maui’s volcano, plants, and wildlife, watch sunset at 10,000 feet, then use a telescope to view planets, the moon, and stars. Warm outerwear, chairs, binoculars, and hot drinks are provided. Bring dinner.

“This truly is an amazing experience. Trisha is so knowledgeable. We watched the beautiful sunset warmly bundled up in parkas and mittens. And as the stars began peaking through she pulled out an amazing telescope for us to get up close and personal with the moon, the Milky Way and the stars. We have never seen so many stars! Highly recommend!”

Stargazing Tour in Kapalua

2.Stargazing Tour in Kapalua

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 31 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $96Best value

Meet Christian at Kapalua for a one-hour beach stargazing session. You’ll use the naked eye and a Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope to view planets, stars, clusters, nebulae, and galaxies while learning basic astronomy and some Hawaiian sky traditions. The small group is limited to 12 people, and Saturn may be the evening’s highlight.

“I was incredibly impressed with Christian’s knowledge of astronomy and how stars and planets form and behave. What an amazing experience to have on our first night in Maui! Loved it!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 10 reviews · 3 to 5 hours (approx.)

Drive from Kahului through Makawao and Upcountry Maui to Haleakalā’s overlooks, short trails, and 10,023-foot summit. The Shaka Guide app supplies GPS-triggered stories, directions, music, and offline maps for your private group of up to five. Add lavender, gardens, goat cheese, or wine stops if time allows.

“The Maui Sunset & Stargazing at Haleakalā Audio Driving Tour was fantastic! The narration was engaging—informative but not overwhelming. I loved that it wasn’t just constant talking; there was a nice balance with instrumental music between stops, which made the drive even more enjoyable. The tour gave helpful suggestions and pointed out things to look for ahead on the road, making the experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Haleakalā!”

S’mores and Stargazing on Hidden Beach

4.S’mores and Stargazing on Hidden Beach

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $159

Nicole Love hosts this private 90-minute Maui evening at 7:00 pm, pairing a tabletop fire, s’mores, mountain views, beach sounds, and stargazing. Meet on Polipoli Road in Kula and return to the same point. The dark setting is romantic, but bring patience for limited light and changing weather.

“This was the most Amazing experience ever! Truly breathtaking and the sounds of the waves were relaxing. Nicole was so wonderful and kind. The setup was so adorable. My Babe and I enjoyed looking at the beautiful stars. I absolutely LOVED it the best thing I've ever done. It gets really dark though, but just being with my babe and listening to the waves made it all the more better.”
