Top 5 Stargazing Destinations Worldwide Includes Unexpected Spot: Hawaii’s Mauna Kea
Astro-tourism is rapidly emerging as one of the leading travel trends in 2025, as more travelers seek destinations to witness spectacular celestial events like the northern lights and solar eclipses. To guide stargazers, the booking platform Planet Cruise has researched and ranked the top global astro-tourism destinations, taking into account factors such as latitude, elevation, light pollution, and social media mentions. While popular locations such as Iceland, Switzerland, and Canada dominate the list, an unexpected contender from the United States, Mauna Kea in Hawaii, ranks among the top five. This dormant volcano, standing at 4,207 meters (13,802 ft) and characterized by minimal light pollution, provides an excellent vantage point for observing the night sky.
