🌗 The 'Full Moon' period, abundant in moonlight
- During the full moon season, the bright moonlight may limit star visibility, but the Moonlight Tour offers unrivaled romance and unique advantages!
- Advantages of the Moonlight Tour: The abundant light ensures that portraits come out sharper and clearer, and the faster shutter speed increases the likelihood of capturing more photos. Additionally, there is a higher chance of seeing shooting stars falling next to the bright moon.
⚠️ Note on bookings during the Full Moon period: Even if it does not rain, it is difficult to proceed if it is cloudy, so there is a high probability of cancellations or date changes.
In the event of a cancellation on the day due to bad weather, the guide will promptly notify you via the representative's KakaoTalk. (※ On-site refunds are not available for reasons such as reduced visibility of stars due to moonlight.)
📸 Pro Tips to Make the Most of the Starlight Tour!
👗 Make sure your outfit is 'bright'!
Since the shoot takes place at Manse Cliff under a pitch-black night sky, wearing dark clothing may cause you to blend into the background, leaving only a black-and-white silhouette. You must wear bright colors, such as white or pastel tones, to capture the perfect shot of a lifetime harmonizing with the starlight.
📅 Tips for Choosing a Booking Date
The Starlight Tour is most sensitive to weather conditions. Since the itinerary may be canceled or postponed to the following day depending on weather, you should book for the first or second day of your trip to Saipan to allow for flexibility in rescheduling.
