Lunar Love: Moon-Related Travel Experiences Are on the Rise

Sometimes enjoying the spectacle that is the solar system is as easy as simply looking up. Guests take to the rooftop with a NASA ambassador during the Hyatt Regency Maui's Tour of the Stars to interpret the sky unaided as the ancient Polynesians (and Moana) did before moving into serious stargazing with astronomy binoculars and The Edge. (To be clear, it's a mighty 14-inch reflector telescope and not U2's guitarist.)

When the moon is visible, the talk is more satellite-centric and the rainbow glasses, which allow participants to view moonlight in its constituent colors, come out. Couples can book a late-night private viewing complete with bubbly and chocolate-covered strawberries. On the other side of the US, The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, offers a similar star tour although it's a fireside chat on the Florida beach with s'mores and the resident astronomer. Private sessions can be set up in the dunes for, you know, lovers.
