Space tourism to see more of the moon isn’t new. The Russia Space Agency was the first to take space tourists into orbit during the early 2000s. Virgin Galactic is working on developing commercial spacecraft, with the first orbital flight finally launching in 2018 to a small team.
In the meantime, airlines run promotions for full moon flights, like China’s Spring Airlines. Hat Rin originated the first all-night Full Moon beach party in 1985. The party takes place on the night of a full moon, or the day after or the day before. Live entertainment includes fire skipping ropes and general debauchery of too much food, drink and other vices. The rise in popularity led to undercover police and increased security to monitor the party.
Hotels and other accommodations get in on the action by offering Full Moon party specials and promotions. But you can create your own moon travel fun by picking a day to travel on or around a full moon. Look for flights that coincide with full moons and snag a window seat to make the most of your views. Book accommodations that promise expansive views of the sky and take a hike to soak up the magical views above.
