Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour

About this experience

The Blue Mountains Stargazing Tour is a guided night-sky session held at Wentworth Falls Lookout, in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, running for approximately 90 minutes. The tour is led by Dimitri, a French astrophysicist with a PhD, and Caroline, both residents of Leura, who bring a mix of scientific rigour and storytelling to the session. The lookout sits within Blue Mountains National Park on Darug and Gundungurra Country, far enough from city light pollution to reveal the Southern Sky in considerable detail, including constellations and deep-sky objects not visible from the Northern Hemisphere. Guests move through naked-eye astronomy, constellation storytelling, and guided viewings through a professional computerised telescope and binoculars, covering the Moon, planets, stars, and galaxies. The session also includes a 180-degree vista over the Jamison Valley at sunset before darkness falls, with the sound of nearby waterfalls as a backdrop. Hot chocolate is provided, and warm blankets are available in winter. Entry covers the guided tour, telescope and binocular use, hot chocolate, blankets where applicable, and Blue Mountains National Park fees. The tour is wheelchair accessible and operates from Wentworth Falls Lookout, reachable from Sydney via the Great Western Highway.
