Professional Stargazing Tour in Joshua Tree
Description
Our guides are experienced and knowledgeable and will take you on a journey through our sky. Learn to find north and the location of our seasonal triangles, constellations and planets. Using high-powered laser pointers, we will provide you an entertaining and scholastic experience, with stories about ancient civilizations, Greek mythology, and the evolution of the Cosmos. Our telescopes are operated with a keypad and are as easy to use as sending a text. Telescopes are pre-programmed with our object list for the night. Pressing one button on the keypad moves the telescope to the next object. We regularly view the following types and classes of objects: Galaxies, Nebulae, Star Clusters, Double and Binary Stars, Planets, Earth’s Moon, Globular Clusters, Comets, and more. Depending on timing, the International Space Station (ISS) and Starlink trains can be seen passing overhead.

Such a fun experience for family, friends & lovers. Book this experience for a magical night under the stars where you will leave feeling balanced with the universe. Very informative, super friendly & amazing views of the stars + galaxies! 🌌🤩🌟
We appreciate your stellar review! We are thrilled to hear the experience helped connect your group with the cosmos. Thank you so much for joining us!
This was a really wonderful experience. It was super informative, interesting, and fun. The use of laser pointers, binoculars, and telescopes helped us understand and appreciate the majesty of the skies. We really enjoyed watching the moon come up over the mountains. Our guides were informative, friendly and entertaining. We recommend this activity.
We are over the moon! Thank you for sharing the night sky and your experience with us. Moonrise nights are far and few between, only occurring once or twice every month, a couple days after the full moon. Some of our favorite nights! Thanks again for joining us!
It was such a thoughtful experience from the travel directions to the blankets and cocoa to the photographer and astronomers. Highly recommend.
Thank you for joining us on a cosmic journey! We hope to see you under the stars again soon!
I was skeptical at first because of the higher price, but this I completely understand the price. They made the experience super comfortable with blankets and bean bags; they had tea and hot chocolate; and the tour guides were super knowledgeable and smart!
We are so glad you found the experience worth it! We strive to create a premium product with comfortable loungers, state of the art technology and comfortable amenities. We are so glad you enjoyed the evening and your knowledgeable guides! Thank you for your trust and joining us under the stars!
This was such an amazing experience! Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Despite the cloud cover, we were able to cover and view a variety of constellations, galaxies, and nebulas. We were also offered a partial refund, which was much appreciated. I highly recommend this experience and would definitely come back when I am in the area again.
Thank you so much for joining us under the stars! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and your guide, and are glad the minor cloud cover did not effect your experience. Thank you for taking the time to share a review, and we look forward to hosting you again soon!
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! This immersive experience is well thought out, full of excellent information and a stunning sight to behold. The operators have made it perfect, with beanbag and blankets, hand warmers and hot chocolate. The knowledge by Michael, Shawn (Sean?) and Amanda was incredible. You will NOT be disappointed! Directions seem formidable but they are perfect. Print put a map and screenshot the directions before getting out of signal. Make sure to use restroom in advance. IT IS CHILLY EVEN ON 110 DEGREE DAYS. THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! We're thrilled the experience reached astronomical levels of enjoyment and the directions were as easy to follow as our yearly orbit around the sun. Thank you for joining us!
That was amazing. We got to see so much more than what I was expecting. I would happily do this again.
Gravitating towards gratitude.. Thank you so much for joining us under the stars and taking the time to share your thoughts here!
Wonderful experience under the night sky in Joshua Tree park. The tour includes views from digital telescopes which are truly stunning. The tour is very well organized and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Love the super laser pointers they used -- it was like the whole night sky was a giant blackboard. Really great experience. If you're going up from Palm Springs, we recommend stopping by in Yucca Valley for dinner before venturing into the area for stargazing. The area has limited cell reception and no bathrooms - make sure you have offline directions!
Thank you for being a star guest! We appreciate your tips on Yucca Valley and cell reception. We are in a remote and dark area that comes with a lack of service and a necessary need to have detailed directions ready to go. We are so glad you enjoyed the experience, and thank you for leaving a great review!
It was absolutely beautiful! I know our host was worried about the full moon because of how bright everything was but we were still able to see all the things! The two hosts were so knowledgeable that they knew exactly where to look even if it wasn’t visible with the naked eye for us. I felt like I learned so much but didn’t feel overwhelmed with the information. Highly highly recommend!
Thank you for joining us and taking the time to leave a review! In a dark sky area, there is still so much to see even with a highly illuminated moon! We're happy to hear the guide was able to bring some of the fainter objects out in binoculars and telescopes and bring the wonders of the cosmos down to earth in an understandable way. We hope to see you again soon!
Great experience in a secluded location. We were very well informed throughout the experience in such an impressive way that at no point did it feel like information overload or too complex to understand. Really worth the money and the hosts do their utmost to ensure you enjoy the experience and are as comfortable as possible
We're happy to hear the information received was in the Goldilocks Zone! Thank you for your review!
