Get lost in the celestial splendour of the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains skies during this captivating stargazing tour. Enjoy fascinating storytelling, naked-eye astronomy and tips on how to identify stars and constellations, and peek up at the dark sky through a professional-grade telescope.
Far removed from the city lights, the Blue Mountains offers stunning night skies with unrivalled clarity, making it the perfect place for a spot of stargazing. Over 90 minutes, astrophysicist Dimitri and his partner Caroline will give you an introduction to the history of the Blue Mountains through time and to the celestial dance of planets, satellites, the Milky Way and beyond. You'll also receive tips and hacks on how to identify stars and constellations through naked-eye astronomy. After this, you'll have the opportunity to peek through a professional computerised telescope and be dazzled by a number of celestial objects, depending on the time of year and night, including Saturn's rings, the moons of Jupiter, Mars and Venus, star clusters and shooting stars if you're lucky!
Maximum of 20 participants.
Please be aware that astronomy tours are weather dependent, they may be cancelled in case of cloud cover meaning no visible stars. The provider will message you at 1pm on the day of the tour to confirm the tour and check the latest weather forecast (more notice possible upon request). If the tour is cancelled due to bad weather, customers will have the opportunity to reschedule for a later date with a voucher transferable to other people as a gift card, valid for the next 3 years in the Blue Mountains or Jervis Bay, or the opportunity to attend the indoor astronomy planetarium experience. Strictly no monetary refund is applicable on event cancellation.
Ensure you have warm clothes, gloves and a blanket as mountain nights are chilly.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
