    Amazing experience that made us travel to another dimension! The place was very accessible yet with a perfect view to the mountains and the sky. The tour was a good mix of technical information about stars and tips to identify constellations, coupled with many stories about beliefs and cultural interpretations. Seeing them through the telescope was fascinating. The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, physical and philosophical. We loved the hot chocolate and warm blankets - you could see they wanted us to feel comfortable! We’d love to go back another time of the year to see more stars and maybe do the wine tasting this time. Thank you and all the best!

    A truly stellar experience with the Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour deserves an unequivocal 5/5 rating. Astronomer Paul's expertise and patience transformed the night sky into an enchanting classroom under the stars. Paul's knowledge was profound, and his ability to convey complex astronomical concepts with clarity enhanced the tour. His patience shone as he answered all my questions, fostering a learning environment that catered to both novice stargazers and those well-versed in astronomy. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the breathtaking views of Jupiter and Saturn. Paul's skillful guidance and the high-quality telescopes provided an awe-inspiring glimpse into the celestial wonders, making for an unforgettable experience. The tour's organization was seamless, and the equipment provided ensured an immersive journey through the cosmos. The location selected for stargazing offered optimal visibility, contributing to the overall success of the evening. Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour exceeded expectations, blending education with wonder. Paul's passion for astronomy illuminated the night, making it an exceptional and enriching adventure. For anyone seeking an insightful and mesmerizing journey through the night sky, this tour is an absolute must. It's a five-star celestial spectacle that leaves you with a newfound appreciation for the wonders of the universe.

    Absolutely loved our stargazing tour over Easter long weekend! We were SO lucky and had a perfectly clear night with unbelievable visibility. Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly, and showed us 3-4 different constellations and stars through the telescope, and also the moon which rose up mid tour. A couple of shooting stars and satellites topped it off. Blankets and yum hot chocolate were also provided. Would highly recommend to anyone! Thanks team

    This was absolutely the BEST experience! We came just to see the Southern Cross as we live in the northern hemisphere and have never seen it before. The astronomer answered all our questions and told in great detail about the history and future of our galaxy. We saw the jewel box, the three brightest stars, and the stars in Orion. The check-in process was quick and easy. The hot chocolate was delicious and the clouds stayed away for a perfect night of stargazing. This is a MUST SEE!

    • Stargazing in the rain is no fun. To make sure this doesn’t happen, we will email you 3 hours before the start of the tour if we need to cancel. More notice may be possible upon request, however, we need to check the latest weather forecast for accurate prediction.
