Stargazing Hike
A unique journey into the night, combining an easy sunset walk with a magical stargazing experience.
We might spot glowworms along the way and listen to the frogs guiding us to our stargazing spot - where the telescope awaits for a breathtaking exploration of the universe.
Watch the stars, planets, and galaxies through professional telescopes as astronomer João will teach you all there is to know about the universe.
Looking for a shorter evening under the stars without the walk? Check out our Stargazing Experience below.
