Quartzsite Self-Guided Stargazing Experience

A self-guided listening experience under the starry sky with smartphone playback, Big Dipper audio, and 30-minute dark adaptation

Free cancellation available
Up to 24 hours before the start time
Duration: 1 hour
Service animals welcome

You will lie back beneath a vast night sky in one of the most beautiful places in the USA to experience the natural night — with millions of stars — and listen to a guided audio designed as your personal rendezvous with the heavens. The recording will lead your gaze and share short stories, such as that of the great bear, and tips like a simple trick to help you spot as many stars as possible on a clear night. You will play the audio on your smartphone and follow it while taking in the view.

This experience is ideal if you prefer not to join a group stargazing tour but still want to immerse yourself in the cosmos as a couple. You will watch your eyes adjust to the dark — a process that typically takes about 30 minutes — and experience a deeper, more colourful perception of the sky as your vision changes. The session is organised in two parts: Part 1 focuses on the Big Dipper, and Part 2 is a perception exercise accompanied by music.
