Palm Springs Sternenbeobachtungstour mit Nachtsichtbrille

We've been on several star gazing tours, including one on the Big Island at Mauna Kea, and this one was the best! The other family canceled so it was just us four with our guides Tony and Kevin. Tony is a wonderful story-teller, and the experience was more than just bright lights in the sky. We got immersed in the myths and traditions that other cultures attached to the constellations. We laid in fully reclining chairs while using military-spec night vision goggles, which brought the heavens to life. It was amazing to see so many moving objects! We looked through a very nice telescope that allowed us to see the Sombrello Galaxy! We also saw Jupiter and its moons using high-powered binoculars. They offered light snacks and drinks. We would definitely repeat, esp. if we visit Joshua Tree during another season when the night sky is different. To top it off, Tony took a highly memorable long-exposure pic of us and the stars.

Highly recommend doing this tour if you love stargazing! Tony was a wealth of information and explained more than just where the constellations are in the sky. Kevin was very informative and helped us use the equipment to spot out some amazing Nebulas! The Night Vision Goggles, WOW!!

The Stargazing tour with Tony and Cuz was the absolute highlight of our recent trip to Palm Springs. The tour lived up to all the reviews, but until you experience it for yourself there is no way to describe how what you see and hear will impact you. Tony's stories will change the way you view the sky, and how you view your place in the universe. What I saw with the night vision goggles was way better than any telescope views I've had on other stargazing tours - the goggles allow you to see the true number of stars in the sky (almost too many to comprehend). The zero-gravity chairs, the poncho-like snuggie to keep you warm, and the provided snacks all contribute to keeping you comfortable and allow you to focus on the sky as much as possible without distraction. My family and I all thought this was one of the coolest things we have ever done in our travels - it is truly an experience not to be missed!

The star tour with Tony and Cuz was amazing! I wasn't sure what to expect, but you arrive at dusk and there's a beautiful candle lit pathway that leads to the star gazing area. It was a chilly evening, but Tony has snuggies available for everyone, which is a nice touch; they kept us very warm. Shortly after introductions, Tony passed out a pair of night vision goggles to everyone and, (OMG!!), it was was a huge eye opener! You're able to see so many more stars, satellites, and anything else that may be in the night sky! While looking at anything and everything through the goggles, Tony is talking story and answering any questions you may have about anything space or universe related. I learned some very cool and interesting facts about the night sky and how it has been used throughout the centuries. They also have a pair of high powered binoculars that we used to watch the moon rise over the horizon; you could see every crater on the moon with the binoculars. I recommend going around the time of a full moon, so you can see the full lit up portion of the moon. There's also a very high powered telescope that you can look through to see nebulas, stars, and galaxies! The telescope takes long exposure photographs, and you're gifted with the pictures once the tour has completed. Highly recommend this star tour! We'll definitely be back once the seasons change and there's different stars in the night sky to learn about!
