Adventure Tips
Dress in layers
Temperatures can drop quickly after sunset, especially at Mauna Kea, so bring layers for comfort.
Arrive early at Hapuna Beach
Getting there ahead of sunset ensures the best viewing spot and a relaxed start to your evening.
Bring binoculars
A pair of binoculars enhances stargazing, allowing you to see craters, planets, and distant stars more clearly.
Pack insect repellent
Evening bugs can be bothersome; a natural repellent helps keep insects at bay during your outdoor experience.
