Blue Mountains Stargazing

The idea of stargazing in the mountains is really a cool idea, however, it was quite stressful for us to go to the meeting point since we don’t have our own car. we did use Uber to go the meeting point since we’re staying in the town proper, but going back we had to prebook a local taxi just to make sure we can go back to our hotel after the activity. and since it’s winter, it was very cold. it’s also very dark in the area since there was no guide lights from the meeting point to the actual viewing deck. we also felt bad for the astronomer since the host of the activity didn’t show up and he was left alone to do everything. we also didn’t get some hot chocolates as we were told the supplier cannot provide it that night. we did get a refund for it though. overall, i would still recommend this tour if you really want to experience looking at the stars in a vast open area.

Amazing experience but it was very cold remember to wear more during this tour. The tour guide was experienced and thoughtful giving us warm blanket and hot chocolate was amazing !

I have to say the inner nerd in me was really excited for this. And I am glad to say that it didn’t disappoint! I’ve never seen such clear skies and the guides made it so much more interesting and interactive for everyone in the group. Would definitely do this again the next time I’m here!

The Blue Mountain night sky did not disappoint, it was clear and littered with stars. Tom, our astronomer, was very knowledgeable and shared with us numerous insights. He was also able to easily answer all questions thrown from the ground. Even though it was summer at time of event, it was pretty chilly at night and the crew gave us blankets and hot chocolate to keep warm. Awesome experience!

The Guide was informative and explained in detail the constellation and galaxies, the heat signature of the stars, and more. The Guide interacted a lot with the guest, answering any questions we had. The assistant matilda was extremely helpful and provided hot drinks and blankets during the tour. Strongly recommend the tour and adequate clothing!

didnt get to do this because of bad weather and they offered two options 1. credits for return visit 2. indoor planetarium experience no refunds will be offered so we went with option 2. still quite a nice experience i suppose :’) an astronomer will show you some star simulations and talk abot constellations etc, play a little quiz and get to have hot chocolate at the end. overall still quite a nice experience.

Our guides Matilde and Tom were friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable. They were able to interest and educate us on the world of stargazing. The time really flew by. I highly recommend this activity.

Great experience, guides were very knowledgeable. Learnt a few interesting facts along the way

we can see a lot of stars. but we only get to watch 4 planets via the telescope one by one as there are about 15-20 in a group. we manage to see the moon, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. overall, it is a new experience for my family.

It was really cold but we could see many stars for the night. Wonderful experience. Tour guide was very knowledgeable.
