5 stars! Highly recommend :)

Would highly recommend booking a stargazing tour with Desert Bound Adventures. Our guide Braxton was very knowledgeable about the stars and the areas surrounding Zion and answered our groups questions. The tour takes place in a beautiful area where the sunset lights up the red rocks magnificently and the stars shine bright. Great way to make memories with friends and experience the beautiful Zion night sky. Thanks again Braxton!

10/10 would do again!

It was amazing!! We were celebrating a friends birthday party and it was a blast. Braxton planned things out well so that the equipment was already in place by the time the sun had set. He came prepared with multiple lasers to accommodate the light from the moon as well. It was very informative and overall fun experience! Braxton did a great job tailoring the experience to our group 😁

Absolutely Amazing Stargazing!!

Braxton, our star guide, was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the night sky, and the Greek myths and the science behind what we were observing!! He brought a high powered telescope with him, and we were able to see Venus close-up, and a cluster of nebula and a whole other galaxy in the Hercules constellation! With his laser pointer, he showed us the stars and constellations and illustrated what we were looking at in a way I’ve never been able to see before! And the Milky Way was right there over our heads; it felt like we could reach out and touch it! Also, the spot where we met up was really cool; a beautiful twisting mountain road to a quiet, light-free mountain top. It felt like we were on top of the world!! Braxton really made us feel like the night was personalized just for us! Thank you so much! We highly recommend the Stargazing experience with Braxton!

Local Approved

I had such a great experience on this stargazing tour! Braxton's storytelling about the history of the stars was fascinating and made the experience so much more meaningful. As a local, it gave me the chance to experience Southern Utah in a way I never had before. Looking through the telescope made it feel so immersive and interactive, and seeing the night sky up close was unforgettable. It honestly was one of those experiences that, as soon as it was over, I wanted to do it again, and bring more friends so they could experience it too. I'll definitely be booking another tour and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.

Did a tour with Brax and Dev as our guides. Incredible! The stories of constellations brought the sky to life. Also, being close to Zion was beautiful.

There is nothing like the stars out in the quiet desert, absolutely breathtaking. It was a unique experience that I'll definitely remember and highly recommend to anyone looking for something special!
