Stargazing Hike
A unique journey into the night combined with an easy walk at sunset time.
We might spot some glowworms along the way and listen to the frogs guiding us to our stargazing spot.
Watch the stars, planets and galaxies through professional telescopes and astronomer David will teach you all there is to know about the universe.

Easy circular hike on dirt tracks with easy climbs and descends. The walk starts around sunset time and we finish in the dark. A star expert with telescope will guide us through the night sky.
