We host our tours nightly beneath the internationally renowned dark skies of Southern Utah, right near Hurricane, Utah, where some of the clearest, most star-filled skies in the country await. From red rock horizons to deep sky delights, this corner of the Southwest is one of the best places on Earth to explore the cosmos.

Our primary location is just outside Hurricane Utah, off of Highway 59. It’s about 10 minutes from downtown Hurricane, 35 minutes from downtown St. George, and about 45 minutes from Zion National Park. Our central location was chosen to both minimize drive time, and to maximize your dark skies experience!

We’re proud to offer a stargazing experience that’s wheelchair accessible and handicap friendly. If you or someone in your group has specific mobility needs, just let us know. We’re happy to help ensure everyone can enjoy the night sky comfortably

*All the photos you see here, and throughout our site, are ours were taken with our very own telescopes, at our Southern Utah locations, giving you a glimpse of what’s possible on one of our tours. The sky is a living, shifting thing, and as the seasons roll by, new wonders appear while others slip below the horizon. While you may not see these exact sights on your tour, rest assured: we always have a lineup of cosmic showstoppers ready to dazzle.

Our stargazing adventures take place in specially chosen dark sky locations, where the night stretches wide and quiet, and every star has a chance to shine. We begin our journey with bright celestial neighbors, perhaps the shimmering rings of Saturn, the rugged face of the Moon, or the warm glow of a giant star. Then settle into a cozy chair as we trace constellations across the sky, share their ancient stories and modern meanings, and explore how the stars once guided travelers across oceans and deserts. As the night deepens, so does our view, diving into the far reaches of space to reveal hidden galaxies, glowing nebulae, and deep sky wonders you’ve never seen with your own eyes. It’s part science, part storytelling, and all wrapped in the kind of wonder that only the night sky can give.
