“There is no better place to gaze at the stars than at almost 12,000 feet,” says Phebe Meyers, ACES Naturalist Field School Manager. “We are thrilled to partner with the Aspen Skiing Company to bring this incredible event to our community for the third year in a row. This experience offers the opportunity to explore the universe with astronomy experts and enthusiasts, expanding listener’s horizon of knowledge.”

During their action-packed surf vacation, guests are offered surf and stand up paddle boarding lessons guided by champion athlete instructors. The surfing school’s education on the ocean is a top priority as the friendly team share not only find the best spots in the area for surfing but also teach guests about currents and tides. Private surf or SUP lessons are included in the rates as well as board hire, daily breakfast and accommodation in a private, air-conditioned bungalow shared with up to three other surfers with a hot tub to enjoy in the downtime. There are various activities, such as diving, fishing, hiking, and windsurfing, that prove popular in Maui and can be organized at an additional cost.
