Description
Escape Banff's lights and step into the dark sky above the Canadian Rockies. With professional telescopes, a laser-guided constellation tour, and van pickup from Canmore and Banff included.
Some of the clearest, darkest skies in North America sit directly above Banff National Park and most visitors never look up. On this guided stargazing experience, you will. Accompanied by an expert astronomer and equipped with professional-grade telescopes, you'll leave the town lights behind and arrive at a pristine dark sky site deep in the Rockies where the Milky Way blazes overhead from horizon to horizon.
Through powerful telescopes, you'll observe the rings of Saturn in stunning detail, track Jupiter's moons as they orbit their parent planet, and peer into deep space at nebulae and distant galaxies that existed long before our solar system. Your guide will walk you through the night sky using a high-powered laser pointer, tracing the constellations that Indigenous peoples and ancient astronomers used as a compass for thousands of years.
This isn't a walk-and-point tour. You'll actually see jaw-dropping, tangible views of the universe that no photograph can do justice. Settle into your dark-sky site wrapped in warm blankets, hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate, while the Canadian Rockies' silhouette frames a sky that few people on earth get to witness. Van pickup from Canmore and Banff means zero driving, zero light pollution from the road, just darkness and stars.
