About

Stars Above Hawaii - Hawaii's Gateway to the Stars at the Ko Olina Resort - provides world-class professional stargazing star shows to people of all ages from all over the world. Learn the Hawaii Star Lines and Polynesian star voyaging Wayfinding techniques. Star Shows are hosted by a NASA Ambassador as your personal Astronomer Star Tour Guide. See the unseen as you have never seen before and surround yourself with diamond stars that sparkle and shine "forever."

Star show location will be at the Four Seasons Oahu Resort & Spa in the Ko Olina Resort. The star show will take place on the hotel's Spa Tennis Court, which is the 6th floor rooftop above the hotel parking lot, a separate building from the hotel itself. Guests will meet at the double golden elevators adjacent to the Spa entrance 5 minutes before star show time and will be escorted up the secured elevators to the 6th floor star location.

The Star Show Experience

When you arrive to the star show you will be greeted and meet your fellow star explorers. The star show will start off describing the night sky and how the stars move across the sky. This will be related to how the Polynesians used the stars for navigation. As we trace the Hawaii Star Lines with the use of a powerful green laser that gives the appearance of touching the stars above, the stars will be named in Hawaiian as well as other cultural languages if applicable with guests in attendance.

This will be followed by the use of giant computerized telescope(s) where guests view the universe up close and personal, seeing inside the craters of the Moon to the rings of Saturn, Jupiter in color with its moons, other planets, and out into the galaxy and beyond, going through the life cycle of the stars from newborn baby star clusters to multi-colored star systems and on to the remnants of exploded stars. While the viewing takes place, additional discussions with guests take place covering any number of topics of interest with the star explorers in the group, ranging from the science behind the astronomy to other cultural understandings and mythologies around the world.

Last, but not least, a camera telescope will also be projecting deep space images (in color) onto a screen for all to see; and to take home digitally afterwards through cell phone transfers. All star shows are hosted by an astronomer. Enjoy and have a great STELLAR time!
