Begin your stargazing adventure by meeting your guide, then sit back and watch as the valley transforms. Thousands of stars appearing, constellations sharpening into view, and, during the right time of year, the hazy band of the Milky Way stretching overhead. Listen as your guide shares captivating stories of our human connection to the night sky. Learn why Venus and Jupiter shine brighter than any star in the sky. Use your hands to measure the stars the way Polynesian navigators did. Use binoculars to get a closer look, then dive even deeper with live telescope viewing! Hear fascinating stories about the history and structure of the universe and how we have found meaning, purpose, and joy within it. And don't forget to keep an eye out for satellites and shooting stars overhead!
On a clear, moonless night in Yosemite Valley, the sky turns on in a way most people have never seen before. You’ll see far more stars than you’re used to in the city, with big constellations like Orion and the Big Dipper standing out clearly, and in the right season a hazy band of the Milky Way stretching across the sky. The granite walls of El Capitan and Half Dome become dark silhouettes framing the stars, while bright planets, the Pleiades, and even the faint Andromeda Galaxy appear with a little guidance and a laser pointer. You’ll likely catch a few shooting stars or satellites drifting by, all while the valley itself quiets down: cool air dropping off the cliffs, the river in the background, and the feeling that almost everyone else has gone to bed and left this version of Yosemite just for you.

Zeke was our presenter. He is a very nice young man who made the presentation interesting through stories based on oral histories from indigenous populations in various parts of the world. He was knowledgeable about our starry skies and imparted a lot of information to us, his audience. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
It was great time to be in the valley never would have thought of it if it wasn’t for the tour little to no traffic . Saw wildlife , the Milky Way , and a shooting star overall great experience definitely worth it learned a lot about the stars of the northern hemisphere
Educational experience with knowledgeable and friendly guide that used technology to enhance the experience. Blankets were very appreciated!
Educational and knowledgeable guide that shared interesting stories and used technology to elevate the experience.
The tour exceeded our expectations and beyond. I would recommend Zeke for a very personalized experience. The time spent at our designated meeting space was excellent for Stargazing. My family and I were so delighted to feel like we were with an old friend guiding us. The setting couldn't have been more perfect. I appreciated the cost of the "private tour" with just our family and not a big group setting. Zeke incorporated fun interactive games that we will have fond memories of. Very easy to communicate with Zeke and knowledgeable. Interactions with our guide was very positive and entertaining. The pace was exactly on point and able to take everything in. The touch of warm hot chocolate with marshmallows and blankets to keep us warm made the atmosphere memorable.
Zeke was a knowledgeable talented storyteller and presenter. We learned a lot and we're completely entertained. Would definitely recommend when visiting Yosemite
This was such a beautiful and unforgettable stargazing experience! Zeke was incredibly knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions about the stars, space, and other interesting topics. I would absolutely recommend this experience to everyone. It’s definitely something you should add to your bucket list. I know I’ll remember this experience forever. Thank you Zeke!
Absolutely delightful evening in Yosemite. Zeke is a wonderful storyteller and we learned lots about the stars. The hot chocolate and blankets were thoughtful. This is right off of the parking lot so very accessible for those who may have mobility issues.
Zeke is wonderful. He brought hot cocoa and blankets and told amazing stories about the stars. It was the highlight of our trip to Yosemite.
This was such an intimate and exciting experience among the stars, with the backdrop of Yosemite Falls! The knowledge our guide had was infinite, we felt as we were immersed in the infinite universe. As a bonus we also got to see people's head lamps descending from there journey on Yosemite falls. Also the delicious hot chocolate made this experience one that we will definitely do again!
Hey Yvette, Thank you so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure talking with both of you. Hope to see you again next time you are in Yosemite :)
