First-timers
The Beginner's Night
One night, two guides, four constellations you'll never unsee. Includes setup, dinner around the fire, telescope rotation.
Guided overnight camps in the darkest skies of the country. Real wilderness, cozy gear, hot meals — and a professional astronomer at every fire. For first-timers, families and serious astrophotographers.
From a relaxed first-time weekend to a full week of guided astrophotography, every camp is small-group and led by a working astronomer.
One night, two guides, four constellations you'll never unsee. Includes setup, dinner around the fire, telescope rotation.
3-night intensive — wide-field, deep-sky & planetary. Bring your gear or borrow ours. Editing sessions included.
Designed with kids 7+ in mind. Story-led night sky tours, constellation crafts, marshmallow s'mores. Sleeps quiet by 23:00.
Two nights, no agenda, no devices. Private platform, hot tea on the hour, an astronomer if you want one — silence if you don't.
Every site sits inside a certified dark-sky reserve with Bortle Class 1–2 skies — the same darkness used by professional observatories.
An open caldera high above the cloud line. Best for Milky Way core May–September. Hot springs nearby for cold-night thaw-outs.
Beach camp on a remote island bay. Bioluminescent plankton on moonless nights, Southern constellations rise straight from the sea.
A pine clearing surrounded by 1500-year-old trees. Wood-fired sauna, domed observatory and the best meteor-shower viewing in the network.
Bring a layer and curiosity. We'll bring everything else: shelter, gear, guidance, food, telescopes, a fire that won't go out.
5m wool-lined canvas with proper bedding, rated to 0°C.
A working astronomer at every camp, all night, every night.
8″, 10″ & 12″ Dobsonians + a tracked refractor for photos.
Local, seasonal three-course menu. Vegetarian default, allergens flagged.
Down jackets, beanies and gloves swap-out — no surprises if it turns.
A printed planisphere and a hand-bound observation journal to take home.
Updated each evening for our flagship plateau site. Visible to the naked eye unless noted.
Most visitors come for the photos. They leave talking about the silence.
Saw the Milky Way for the first time at 38. I cried, my wife laughed at me, the astronomer pretended not to notice. Worth every minute of the drive.
Came for the astrophotography workshop. Left with three images I'm genuinely proud of and a notebook full of star-hop charts. Tight curriculum, no wasted time.
My nine-year-old wouldn't stop quizzing the guide on Saturn's moons. Came home wanting a telescope. We came home wanting a quieter life.
