Fantastic experience. We enjoyed incredible stargazing with a professional and knowledgeable guide, Jacob. I saw the southern sky as I’ve never seen it before, including a beautifully clear view of the Southern Cross. We also looked through a telescope and clearly saw the rings of Saturn and other wonders of the night sky. Highly recommended.
Best stargazing experience!!!!!!

Sam and Alex were the best hosts! They did an amazing job making sure everyone was comfortable during the night time. Sam did an absolutely fantastic job explaining what we were looking at in the nights sky. Would definitely go again if we make it back down undah.
Top notch stargazing experience

The guide was an expert and provided tons of great information and science based knowledge. We were there longer than 2 hours, and despite the cold weather, the time flew by. We were lucky to have clear skies, and the stars and planets were truly amazing. Don’t miss this!
