Great first time experience of guided stargazing Knowledgeable guide, friendly environment . My first booking was cancelled due to bad weather. I received a voucher and booked at a later date. From this venue we could see a lot of stars. The guide introduced us with a lot of new things that I started to explore after I came back. He answered a lot of questions from a lot of us. The laser pointer was a good way to point to stars, he also had the telescope pointing to interesting planets/stars/deep-space-objects. I plan to go again in winter, expecting to have another view of the night sky. Next time I’ll take my kid.

Star Gazing was amazing! Our hosts were really amazing and very accommodating. We were provided hot chocolate and blankets. Our hosts pointed out constellations, stars, nebulae and even the planets in the solar system. They also had a telescope setup and we could see Saturn, Jupiter, some stars and nebulae as well. The sky was very clear and we were able to see everything very clearly. Our hosts was a wonderful story teller, who explained the cultural roots and legends behind names and provided scientific insight about what we were looking at etc

I would recommend bringing a beanie and wearing a couple extra layers and it gets quite cold.

Great night out in Jervis Bay Stargazing on the beach with a pro guide to the Milky Way—relaxing, educational, and absolutely magical. Highly recommend!

Unique and unforgettable experience with breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains. Booked online with relative ease and received clear instructions on the meeting point. We got there on time, greeted by a friendly staff member who let us know our tour guide was running ten minutes late (they did also notify prior this may happen) but this posed no issue as our star gazing spot had the most incredible view of the sunset over the National Park. Our tour guide was an incredibly knowledgable and walked us through the map of the stars. We were a relatively small group which proved to be to our benefit as everyone got to take a turn looking into the telescope comfortably. The night was extremely clear so we got to see the moon, shooting stars, a variety of constellations, Saturn, Jupiter and even some far away galaxies. We also were served hot chocolates and given blankets. Just a recommendation to wear insect repellent because you are in the bush! Overall a great experience that is suitable for families or friends.

Wonderful night in the blue mountains. The astronomer is very passionate and fascinating ! We saw the milky way and shooting stars with our eyes, Saturne and a star with the telescope.
Also, thank you the the blankets and hot chocolate have been really appreciated.
Thank you really much for this discovery !

Fantastic stargazing experience, meteors, satellites, Saturn, Southern Cross, and more! Tom was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and an excellent host for our evening of stargazing. We are locals and it was so beautiful to have a guide to our night sky! So well organised, delicious hot chocolate and highly recommend this tour to everyone!

I would happily do the Blue Mountains stargazing again. We were in the very capable hands of astronomer Tom, a reallynice guy. Tom was very patient and happy to answer any questions that arose. On top of that we were blessed to experience an Aurora Australis, which is extremely rare in these latitudes (Blue Mountains). Thank you Tom

Forget a Planetarium, This is the Real Deal Amazing evening with Tom guiding us through the universe. Saturn, Magellanic Clouds, Southern Cross, Shooting Stars

What a highlight of our time in the mountains! Highly recommend this stargazing experience. The location is already awe inspiring, looking over the expanse of the valley out towards the Southern Highlands through to the Hunter Valley. Then the clarity of what we were able to see through the telescope was mind blowing! The knowledge shared by the astronomer was extensive and he was very generous with his time and attention. I feel like he could have talked for days and not scratched the surface of his passion and wisdom. Wonderful experience, will definitely return.

This was incredible! Weather seemed awful but they communicated well and had options. We opted for the indoor planetarium experience but the skies cleared last minute and we got proper stargazing after all. Tom and Camille were very friendly. Tom was very knowledgeable and patient with my son's questions. Loved seeing Saturn's rings.

Different perspectives Nightsky on a different perspective.
Beautiful experience with kids who are very keen in Austronomy. Moon was super close and real. However, wish we knew there was only 1 planet Saturn we got to see this evening. Next time I will look for midnight to early morningtimings to cover more.
Overall, a lifetime memory ✨️

Amazing….. Fantastic the astronomer was very knowledgeable and calm. Saskia, who was our host, was very caring with us and the special needs we had. Of course we can’t control the weather but when our tour was moved to another day a refund for provided for those who could not make the new date. I can’t recommend this enough.

A night with Stars🌟Constellations ✨Milky Way 🌌 and Saturn🪐 😍❤️ Just an amazing night with the Stars Constellations +Milky Way
and Saturn️
Clear skies allowed us to marvel with the above. Prash and Amol, the Astronomers
present, were engaging and gave us plenty of interesting info. It was windy and cold but it was all worth it, the hot chocolate provided at
the end : priceless! Just a special thanks to Caroline and Dimitri for the initiative, will be talking about it, will be showing the photos and for sure l'll be back. I want to wish them and their Team all the very best, always.
Celestial regards
Paula

The experience is a bit overpriced! While it was interesting to know about the constellations, there was a single telescope and hence, limited number of opportunities observe stars. Also, the area used for stargazing had lots of trees causing obstruction of some of the available stars, plants, and constellation.

A great night viewing the night skies! Our primary guide was Nathan assisted by Pasha. They were both very well informed, helpful and friendly. We were fortunate to have a clear night, so visibility was excellent, assisted by the telescope.

The walk from the carpark to viewing site was very dark, so I would suggest you bring a torch or headlamp.

wonderful I don’t want to write a long review. We enjoyed the stargazing at the Blue Mountains and liked their [blank offering] and hot chocolate. We also enjoyed seeing Uranus’ rings. Thank you.

Celestial fun. We've done a few of these Stargazing experiences and this one was excellent. Our guide Nathan was extremely knowledgeable and informative. A small thing but the supply of warm blankets was a nice touch.

We loved our star gazing tour last night. Our guides were both incredibly knowledgeable and able to explain complex topics in a way that was really interesting and easy to understand. The visibility was excellent in the mountains and it was amazing to see so much through the telescopes. A really interesting night that I’d recommend!

Long weekend in Blue Mountains with friends. Great experience delivered by enthusiastic and knowledgeable astronomers. Very interesting and definitely worth it!

Go see the stars, its fab. The team were amazing. They had a cloudy night and still managed to help us see the stars as the clouds passed by. Not an easy thing to achieve. I was surprised by how many stars I could see actually. I assumed you needed to go deep into country NSW to see anything worth while. But that was not the case. If you need to see some stars but dont want the long drive, a cheeky drive to the blue mountains is worthwhile. Paul was a wealth of information as well, and the team were fab on the night. Hot chocolate for the win as well.

Terrific way to see and learn about the night sky A really well organised and knowledgeable team teach you lots about the night sky and let you see stars “up close”. The session is a combination of talks, telescope viewings and hot chocolate - a great combo.

Absolutely fascinating This experience was phenomenal! Our Astronomer Paul was so knowledgeable and interesting, kept us all engaged throughout the entire time! Absolutely fascinating, I would highly recommend.

Amazing experience! Clear skies, and seeing moon craters through the telescope was incredible. Couldn’t spot other planets because of the bright moonlight, but it was still so worth it. The hot chocolate was a great start! The astrophotographer’s storytelling and insights into modern Hindu astrology were awesome. The hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5 Stars! I had an incredible time at the stargazing tour - we were so lucky with a stunningly clear night, so had some amazing views of the Milky Way! It was great to be able to look at the moon and various star clusters through the telescope. The tour guide was so friendly and extremely knowledgeable, which enhanced the experience even more. It was a bonus to be served hot chocolate to help keep warm (definitely bring a decent coat if you’re coming in Winter!). Would 100% recommend, thank you!

Sparkle in the sky An amazing experience, the sky was so clear and the stars spectacular!
Came early to see the sunset over the valley before dark.
Tom (guide) was so nice and informative and the hot chocolate delicious

Brilliant presentation from Tom - he was enthusiastic and explained things in a very accessible and clear way. The blankets and hot choc are a lovely touch, and it was awesome to see the constellations through the telescope and binoculars. A very educational and fun night out!

A perfect evening with knowledgeable astrophotographer Tom and his fancy telescope. We arrived in time to see the sunset, were wowed with star stories in the darkest sky I've ever seen for 2 hours with blankets and hot chocolate, in time to pack up to go to our hotel at moonrise (8.30pm)

Highlight of our Jervis Bay holiday Dimitri’s expertise is incredible. This is the first time we were able to see the rings of Saturn and Jupiter’s moons. He was able to answer question precisely then expanded on the question.

We plan to book this experience again for the winter skies

A unique and special experience. Can't wait to go again in the winter. Was a really nice experience with a knowledgeable guide to the stars who answered all our questions. We were lucky to have a really clear night.

Blue mountains Star gazing Very enjoyable evening, the guide was great. It was very interesting getting to learn about the all things space!
Would highly recommend

Do it!! We thoroughly enjoyed the star gazing night in Jervis Bay.
It was a very windy night, so they moved the location to an alternative beach nearby where we were completely protected from the wind. The skies are surprisingly dark in Jervis Bay, so it was an excellent location for it.
The evening was very relaxed and Dimitri was a wonderful, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and fun guide. He allowed questions from the group to shape the conversation and was open to discuss anything from very basic to enthusiast level. He also told stories and gave facts about the planets and stars we were viewing. Everyone was able to look through the telescope at various subjects and the 90 minutes flew by.
I would highly recommend.

An unforgettable experience Loved every minute we spent at the Wentworth Falls lookout, where the stargazing session took place: cloudless skies, mild temperature, and a terrific tour guide. Tom was friendly and remarkably knowledgeable about celestial bodies and star navigation. I've already booked my second' star tour' in a few weeks!

The astronomer guide, Nathan, was superbly awesome. Providing a lot of insights into astronomy, explaining the different stars and planets.

We managed to see Saturn and the Moon from the telescope. Highly recommend to join the stargazing tour!

Something different for the family! We booked a couple of times during Winter but kept choosing cloudy days so luckily we rebooked on one of the special Geminid nights and what a treat. We had Dimitri as our guide and learnt so many cool facts, not just in regards to classical astronomy but cultural as well which made things even more interesting for our daughter, (and I)!
The telescope was super fancy allowing us to see the moon and planets like never before and there were plenty of chairs and blankies to go around along with hot chocolate.
Thoroughly recommend if you're looking for something a bit different that is suitable for the whole family.

Our group of local Aussies + Americans visiting from overseas had a spectacular time stargazing with Dimitri! His passion and knowledge were second to none, and each one of us left having learned plenty of new facts about the night sky, stars and planets. A special highlight was seeing Saturn’s rings through a telescope - unreal and so very special. Highly recommend this experience!! And a huge thanks to Dimitri for the memories!

What an amazing experience to have for our anniversary. The two hosts Tom and Rhonda were very welcoming and you can feel the passion from Tom through his knowledge of astronomy and engagement on the topic. It definitely adds another perspective on life here on earth and how we spend it. Thank you everyone at stargazing Blue mountains. I highly recommend this experience for all ages and personalities.

My husband and I went as an anniversary activity and we were so amazed! We do lots of stargazing tours, and this was by FAR the best. We were lucky with a very clear night so we were able to see LOTS of stars, but also we had a very passionate tour guide Tom. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and passion!

This tour was fabulous; our astronomer was incredibly knowledgeable and really easy to talk to. Answered questions really clearly and left with a greater insight into our stars in our solar system and the ability to navigate using the stars. The oat hot chocolate was a lovely surprise and well appreciated. Definitely rug up if you’re coming in winter but they do provide blankets should you need them.

Would highly recommend doing this if you’re up in the mountains.

The team were amazing, after unfortunate weather on Saturday we were able to quickly rebook on Sunday as the clouds cleared up. Had an amazing toured guide that me and my wife enjoyed, blankets and hot chocolate was provided to try to help fight the cold night. We had lots of fun and it is run by some great people. Thank you for the experience

Our stargazing experience was nothing short of magical. The clear, crisp night sky offered a breathtaking view of countless stars, constellations, and even a glimpse of the Milky Way. Wrapped in cozy blankets and sipping on rich, warm hot chocolate, we were perfectly comfortable as we marveled at the celestial display. The setting was serene and peaceful, providing the ideal atmosphere for a memorable night under the stars. This was an unforgettable experience!

What a fantastic experience! The commentary was excellent, and the hosts shared their knowledge in an engaging way. It was far from boring, and I'll certainly be back when the planets are in view. The session started with an amazing hot chocolate that you can't miss. The sky was perfectly clear, lit with bright stars, satellites, and a few shooting stars. The hosts were amazing, allowing us to look through a great telescope and ask as many questions as we wanted. The group size was just right, ensuring everyone could participate. This is a great experience for everyone. If I could, I'd rate it more than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing experience that made us travel to another dimension!
The place was very accessible yet with a perfect view to the mountains and the sky. The tour was a good mix of technical information about stars and tips to identify constellations, coupled with many stories about beliefs and cultural interpretations. Seeing them through the telescope was fascinating.
The guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, physical and philosophical.
We loved the hot chocolate and warm blankets - you could see they wanted us to feel comfortable!
We’d love to go back another time of the year to see more stars and maybe do the wine tasting this time.
Thank you and all the best!

Didn’t get a chance to do the actual sky stargazing due to a cloudy sky. However had a chance to alternatively partake in the indoor planetarium setting. Astrophysicist Bajwa was amazing in sharing his knowledge and visualising the sky for us. He kept us captivated with his explanations on constellations, planets and Astro-phenomena, with his deep research. Enjoyed it!

Thank you Tom and Brie for a great night! Tom’s knowledge was great, we learnt a lot and had some delicious hot chocolate. Would recommend to anyone visiting Blue Mountains. One of the highlights of our trip :)

Stargazing in the Blue Mountains with Dimitri & the team was an awesome experience for my family last night. His knowledge of the night sky is as one would expect with his qualifications. The team were really friendly, and well organised. With a laser Dimitri tells us about the night sky first, then we all get to view things up close with their large telescopes. Nothing was too much trouble for Dimitri; our daughter utilises a wheelchair so he lowered the huge telescope tripod not once but twice so our daughter could see Jupiter & her 4 moons, and Saturn with her rings. We appreciated that so very much and can't express our thanks enough for his kindness. We saw a few shooting stars too! Such a wonderful experience, that I'd love to do again. Excellent event, which I highly recommend.

Experiences this special need to be shouted out. I attended the Geminids meteor shower experience and was blown away. I spoke with multiple guides, all of whom exceptionally relayed their passion for the universe by answering every question, be they deeply scientific, sociological, or far out curve balls, with great care. Prior to attending I worried I'd fall asleep during the 11:40pm-1:15am time frame, but I was on the edge of my seat throughout the tour. The oat milk hot chocolate was the perfect addition to a lovely night. Worth every penny and absolutely worth staying up past my bed time.

A truly stellar experience with the Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour deserves an unequivocal 5/5 rating. Astronomer Paul's expertise and patience transformed the night sky into an enchanting classroom under the stars.

Paul's knowledge was profound, and his ability to convey complex astronomical concepts with clarity enhanced the tour. His patience shone as he answered all my questions, fostering a learning environment that catered to both novice stargazers and those well-versed in astronomy.

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the breathtaking views of Jupiter and Saturn. Paul's skillful guidance and the high-quality telescopes provided an awe-inspiring glimpse into the celestial wonders, making for an unforgettable experience.

The tour's organization was seamless, and the equipment provided ensured an immersive journey through the cosmos. The location selected for stargazing offered optimal visibility, contributing to the overall success of the evening.

Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour exceeded expectations, blending education with wonder. Paul's passion for astronomy illuminated the night, making it an exceptional and enriching adventure. For anyone seeking an insightful and mesmerizing journey through the night sky, this tour is an absolute must. It's a five-star celestial spectacle that leaves you with a newfound appreciation for the wonders of the universe.

Incredibly enjoyable learning experience conducted by our astronomy hosts who provided entertainment with stories about the stars, as well as fantastic resources to enjoy all participants had a good time. Highly recommend this as an experience for those travelling to the Blue Mountains of an evening.

Our stargazing tour was cancelled last minute. They stated it was 'too cloudy' however when we went to the alternative option 'the planetarium' we were met 2 staff who stated that it was 'NOT cloudy' and the original tour should have went ahead. The planetarium experience was terrible. We stood outside looking at the stars while the tour guide pointed at the stars with a flashlight however there were NO telescopes. We then sat in a blown up tent/dome looking at the 'night sky' from a projector. The quality of the this was awful. A few people in our group fell asleep it was so bad. The only reason we did the alternative experience was because they cancelled the stargazing trip so late we were already on the way from Sydney. Overall, very disappointing experience and I would not book with this company again. This is my first time writing a google review as usually I cant be bothered but I am outraged with the alternative option that was provided and wanted to share our experience.

It’s a must do for families visiting blue mountains! I had an absolutely enchanting stargazing experience with my family, guided by Tom! His knowledge and enthusiasm added to the magic of the night.

And to top it off, I was thrilled to catch a glimpse of Saturn from the telescope! Seeing the majestic rings of the planet up close was a truly unforgettable moment. It was a stargazing adventure that left us in awe of the cosmos. Highly recommended for anyone looking to connect with the universe!

Lovely experience great location, fascinating experience. Our guide was great. It was so interesting. We had the ability to ask lots of questions, and spent a fair bit of time fact checking a few science fiction movies about black holes and time slippage! It was lots of fun. Our 11 year old totally loved it and so did we. We will come back at a different time of year to see more.

Fabulous This was a great experience, suitable for all ages. We got to see Saturn with its rings which was amazing, and we also looked at the moon and could see its craters.
Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. The hot chocolate was yum and the blankets were cozy!

Fascinating and entertaining This is a really worthwhile experience. We can all look up at the stars but to have someone tell you about the universe, black holes, galaxies super nova etc. whilst pointing to objects in the sky brought it to life in a way books can't do. Bajwa was our astrophysicist and he answered all our wide ranging questions (some pretty dumb and some extremely difficult) in a calm and knowledgable way. We also got to see Saturn with its rings and two of its moons through the telescope provided. Highly recommended.

Really interesting and entertaining Wie had a wonderful evening at Wentworth falls. It was very interesting and you could ask any question, getting an understandable answer ????Maja and Jutta

What a great experience. Tom was incredibly knowledgeable and engaged absolutely everyone. It was so lovely how he used a childrens film to 'hook' in their attention. Child abd adult alike throughout the 90 minutes - there were lots of 'wow' reactions. Don't miss this great experience+ hot chocolate + warm blankets added to the whole night. Thank you Tom - you made it a great experience. Don't miss this folks.

Bajwa was Brilliant. Astronomy was not this interesting at school! This was better than I expected. Sure we only looked through the telescope twice at Saturn and a star cluster ( both awesome sights by the way) but the attention to detail from our expert radio astronomer Bajwa was worth every dollar we paid.

Using a powerful laser pointer, he highlighted so many stars and constellations, explained everything in as simple terms as possible but didn’t dumb down anything. He answered every question thrown at him by a very enthusiastic audience that had come to improve their limited knowledge and everyone went home knowing so much or looking to find out more.

We learnt about and “located” black holes, Star types, light years, how stars are formed, navigation by the stars, located galaxies, discovered the relationship between the periodic table and the life of stars ( an the barely known female astronomer who worked it all out in the 1920s) - we covered so much in the 90 minutes we had.

It was great to see so much of the crowd from the northern hemisphere marvel at our night sky and seek to learn so much - and the experience that Bajwa gave them was great to witness.

It truly was a great night out under the stars and if you are lucky enough to get Bajwa you are in for a great experience.

Amazing tour, excellent informative guide and hot choc on top☕️ It was a moonless cloud free night.. most ideal for stargazing apparently!. We saw The Milky Way Span, Scorpio constellation, Southern Cross, Saturn and Alpha Centauri using the Telescope. Highly recommended to safe gaze when in Blue Mountains????????

Priced at $85, it is significantly OVERVALUED????????
Don't anticipate being amazed by what you observe through the telescope. The quick glimpses are rather underwhelming, resembling distant headlights.The information caters to those with limited celestial knowledge.
The staff was good, but the presentation for that value was not worth it!!

Learnt interesting stories & facts about the southern night sky Knowledgeable host, clear night, great hot chocolate. There is information for all levels to hear from novice to experts, the host is well qualified & knows his stuff.

Disappointing Alternative Experience The stargazing activity was cancelled due to bad weather, which was disappointing but understandable. Since they don’t offer refund, they gave me and my friends another option to do this “planetarium” activity, which was very disappointing for $85. We were in this camp-like balloon with a very low resolution projector. It’s almost like a kindergarten school. The speaker and his assistant were nice, they gave us hot chocolate too throughout the “activity” and offered 15% off for the next booking, but unfortunately the whole experience is really not worth the hassle of coming all the way from Sydney and having to spend $85 for this activity. I understand the weather is out of everyone’s control, but a refund option would be better and appreciated.
