‘Ohana ‘Imiloa Nā Hoku - Explore The Stars - how was it?

[ngl]

Wanted to get input from anyone that has done this at Aulani. We did something similar in Joshua Tree NP a few years back and we all loved it (it was a private excursion and just the 4 of us - including dinner under the stars) so not sure if there will be too many people to get as many views from the telescope? Looks like they max at 15 but wanted to get impressions from anyone who has done this at Aulani previously? Any input appreciated. Thanks!

I've had a great experience (years ago when the only people signed up were my family), a poor experience (when it was a full group of 15 so everyone barely had any telescope time to actually see anything), and then a non-experience my last trip where they deemed it too cloudy and cancelled after everyone had already showed up. I appreciated not being charged the high fee if we couldn't see much, but the refund process was clunky--instead of just refunding everyone automatically, we all had to stand in line in the Pau Hana Room and wait for refunds to be manually processed, group by group.

Really appreciate this feedback!! Having done it just the 4 of us, thinking 15 might be a lot. Thanks!
