Join Blue Mountains Stargazing on a mesmerising 90-minute astronomy tour in the dark skies of the spectacular World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains.

Run by Leura astrophysicist Dimitri and his fiancé Caroline, this interactive tour is a wonderful way to see the delights of the southern sky.

With 10 years’ experience under his belt, Dimitri will share captivating sights through his professional-grade telescope. Depending on the time of year, you’ll see the moon and its craters, Saturn’s rings, the Orion Nebula, galaxies and star clusters. If you’re lucky, you may even spot a shooting star.
