For guests who are staying in the Hilo area, you donʻt have to go far to see a lot of incredible sites.

This is a great area to explore with a private guide as there are a ton of stops you wont want to miss.
The astonomer who will be accompanying you and your fellow guests on this tour has decades of experience observing the starry night sky, which means they are much more familiar with the locations and orientation of different points of interest.
