Useful Information
Small-Group Nighttime Stargazing Tour
Begin your adventure before dark as you depart Palm Springs and head to the San Andreas Fault, where you’ll take a tour of the beautiful features of the world's most well-known fault line. When the sun sets, witness the spectacular transition from day to night as the sun casts amazing shadows on the mountains, creating a range of colors not seen during the day. Experience the pure silence and beauty of the desert at twilight and keep your eyes open for nocturnal desert animals that you wouldn't normally see when the sun is up!
After sunset, enjoy star- and planet-gazing under the clear desert skies with the help of a ‘Sky Scout’, a hand held which helps point out specific stars, and laser pointers. Your guide will act as a ‘Star Navigator,’ pointing out planets and stars through the ‘Sky-Scout’ and sharing the mythology of the constellations while you enjoy the peaceful desert atmosphere.
This tour is seasonal and operates from May to September.
