A Night Under the Blue Mountains Stars
Far from the bright lights of the city, the Blue Mountains provide a beautiful setting to reconnect with the natural world and discover the wonders of the night sky.
Led by an experienced astronomer from Blue Mountains Stargazing, your evening begins with an introduction to the stars and constellations visible above the mountains.
Using laser-guided astronomy, powerful telescopes and astronomy binoculars, you'll explore the night sky while hearing fascinating stories about the universe, its history and the cultural interpretations of the constellations.
Depending on the season and viewing conditions, you may have the opportunity to observe the Milky Way, planets, the Moon, satellites, star clusters, nebulae and even distant galaxies.
Whether you're a curious beginner, an astronomy enthusiast or simply looking for a memorable experience during your Blue Mountains getaway, this is an opportunity to see the mountains from an entirely different perspective.

What's Included in Your Stargazing Experience?
Stargazing, Marshmallows and Mountain Magic
The experience doesn't have to end when the telescopes are packed away.
After your guided stargazing session, settle in around the Montblu outdoor fire pit, toast marshmallows and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Blue Mountains at night.
With outdoor seating, warming drinks and the surrounding natural beauty, it's a lovely way to spend an evening with your partner, family or friends.
