【What's so special about the Starlight Tour with Joe?】
1. With a Korean guide who has conducted more than 2,000 starlight tours
Korean professional guide Joe Cho is a starlight tour expert who has conducted over 2,000 starlight tours in Saipan. He not only provides the essential photo opportunities, but also provides detailed and engaging explanations of stars and constellations! He's the ultimate guide for starlight tours!
During the tour, the following interesting stories are told:
- What constellations can be seen in Saipan each season?
- How are stars born and die? Do they really burn?
- What are the closest and farthest stars from Earth?
- How do you find the North Star and read the constellations?
2. Get a better seat
Travel Forest Starlight Tour is the earliest arrival and the latest departure, so you can secure a better seat and enjoy the starlight and moonlight in a quiet atmosphere.
As the constellation explanations were over and the photo shoot began, other starlight tour teams began arriving one by one.
From this point on, the surroundings start to become noisy, making it difficult to quietly enjoy the stars.
To fully enjoy the stargazing, it's important to arrive early.
3. Highly recommended profile picture 📸 Perfect for a great shot
One of the biggest reasons to choose Starlight Tour is the photos.
Joe, the guide, is not a professional photographer, but he knows the photo spots and angles perfectly.
We will leave you with wonderful life shots with your DSLR camera.
We recommend **light-colored clothing (especially white)** to stand out even against a dark background.
White clothes make photos look even prettier!
