Presenting personalized stargazing and astronomy tours from our private observatory at Makakilo on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii.  Experience unique astronomical events with our state of the art observatory, telescopes and binoculars.  Minutes away from Waikiki, the 1,100-ft elevation site features a 12" F 12 Maksutov Cassegrain, 10" Schmidt Cassegrain, Oberwerk 25 & 40 X 100 mm and Garrett Optical 28 X 110 mm giant binoculars, and  80 mm William Optics ED wide field refractors offering panaramic views of the night skies in a comfortable, rural setting.

During clear nights, the site offers crisp views of the Milky Way, nebulas, planets of our solar system, including Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and the Moon.  Skies are routinely magnitude 5.5 at zenith and the clarity of Hawaiian skies provide contrasty views of star clusters, multiple star systems, and gaseous nebulae.  Our Gallery offers examples of some of the astronomical objects visible from our observatory telescopes and cameras.  For a detail description of the various services and tours offered by Astro Tours Hawaii, follow the tour program links on the top of the page.
