Using state-of-the-art telescopes, explore the brilliance of the Milky Way, distant galaxies, sparkling star clusters, and planets. Learn from passionate, knowledgeable guides who will help you uncover the stories behind the stars and constellations.

Fun and funny late night out.
Neil and Ben presented the night sky in comedic fashion. Thanks! Didn't expect that at 10:30pm and boy did the night sky deliver.

Stargazing - Auroragazing
This night was absolutely amazing. Those 2 guides are really passionate about their jobs. We had the opportunity of seeing Aurora Australis during the hole tour it was breathe taking. The Milky Way was so intense, without moon. Perfect night, I highly recommend it :)

Informative and entertaining
Absolutely wonderful time! Jo-jo was very informative and friendly. Although we had a bit of cloud cover we were still able to observe some amazing constellations and a couple of planets. Highly recommend!
