Southern Light!

Was a very good tour. The guide showed good knowledge of the stars and explained the different constellations. The best thing however was that we were lucky to experience the southern light! It looked supergreat on the free pictures that were made!

Silver River Stargazing are the best!

If you are after the best star gazing adventure, that won’t cost a bomb, pick these guys. Steve & his crew are so friendly and welcoming. We were able to take the kids (9 & 6) and they absolutely LOVED it. I would highly recommend Silver River Stargazing. We will definitely be back again one day.

Fantastic customer service

I have recently hurt my knee and was concerned I would have to cancel the tour. I called during the day and a lady picked me up and showed me exactly where I had to walk to during the night. They arranged a chair for me to sit on during the time in the farm and I was taken home. This is far and beyond what I would've expected. The guide did sometimes admit he'd forgotten something and that he was still learning however all in all the information we were told was fascinating. Looking through the telescope was something else. To get a picture too was an added bonus! Really fantastic new company that I would definitely recommend.

Nice

It was a nice experience and we were lucky to see some stars and the Venus even it was a bit cloudy. The team was friendly we were separated in two groups to look through the telescope. They tried their best to show us everything and explained a bit.
