Jervis Bay Night Sky Stargazing Tour

Perfect night out for all ages, date nights, families, groups and locals, this unforgettable tour features Australia’s spectacular night sky away from the city lights. A wonderful opportunity to experience the Southern Sky and its celestial wonders only visible from the Southern hemisphere. The Jervis Bay's skies are very dark.

A unique experience starting with naked-eye astronomy on Nelsons beach with wave sounds. An opportunity to check if we can see any bioluminescence (glowing waters!) in the sea!
