5.00We loved stargazing with Krista! She is the best. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious. And her knowledge and passion for astronomy taught us so much. My pre-teen was fully engaged and thought our 90 minute experience went by too fast. If you have the opportunity to hire Krista, please do, you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend!!! Plus we loved the cozy blanket she provided!!
Fun and educational

5.00Krista was a great host who was very friendly and accommodating. My wife and I enjoyed talking about the constellations and learning about some of the stories that have derived from them. We even got to see a grey fox as we were exiting the park!

5.00Our evening of stargazing with Krista was a real highlight of our time at Sequoia National Park. Krista is knowledgeable, super-friendly, and a great storyteller. She also has an amazing laser pointer that makes it easy to point out stars, constellations, satellites, etc. The seating is comfortable, and everything was set up and ready to go upon our arrival. Krista was also kind enough to proactively communicate with us and provide options when the weather forecast became uncertain. As it turned out, we stuck with our plan and the weather cleared up nicely. We would highly recommend the stargazing tour with Krista!
Amazing experience… new hobby !

5.00We were complete star gazing amateurs. Our guide Krista was absolutely amazing. Very comfortable seating. Krista was full of knowledge and was funny and helpful. Great experience - so much so that I’ll be continuing to star gaze on my return home… a new hobby!
Incredible host and great time!

5.00Krista was amazing!! Much to my surprise when we left after the star gazing my 3 teens said they loved it 😳! They raves about the host and said they were so happy they went and that she was a phenomenal teacher and very engaging! My wife and I loved it and had an all around great time with a huge wealth of information about the stars and our galaxy! Highly recommend for kids if all ages and grown ups alike! ❤️

5.00We went into the park after dinner and found a turnout and parked. WOW, The sky was fabulous. You have no idea how much you are missing in the city when you look at the night sky from here. Even the kids were quiet. We were all looking up and it was so beautiful. A must see.
Brilliant Night Sky Review

5.00What an energetic and delightful lady who gave us a brilliant overview of the night sky. She tells stories of how the stars were named relating to Greek mythology and is educational in the process of her story telling. It was chilly in late Sept but well worth the money. The chairs are very comfortable too. Highly recommend this tour of the night sky. Be sure to plan it for New Moon time when the sky is the darkest.
