Enchanting Night Sky Adventure: A Stargazing Tour Beyond Expectations

Tiff_Y, Dec 2023

The tour exceeded all expectations, leaving me at a loss for words. With a full bus of 12 people, we met in Mannum where Kelly efficiently assisted in hanging our coats in the trailer brought for the chilly night - a must-bring thick coat, given the freezing temperatures in the middle of nowhere while gazing at the stars. The journey took us to several lookouts overlooking the majestic River Murray, a sight I had heard about but never seen. The flowing water, captivating scenery, birdlife, and the immersive experience of the natural surroundings, complemented by the heavy wind, were perfect. Dinner at Swan Reach Hotel was seamlessly organized, with pre-ordered meals ready upon our arrival. Kelly's enlightening presentation on light pollution and the tour's inception added an educational and inspirational touch. Having grown up in a country, Hong Kong, with severe light pollution, the prospect of experiencing a dark sky with twinkling stars and a shining moon was eagerly anticipated. Our visit to Ngaut Ngaut, a historically significant Aboriginal conservation park, provided an immersive journey into the lives of the Nganguraku People. Guided by Ivy and Sam, the experience was enlightening and I found their sharing completely enjoyable. The tour's highlight was undoubtedly the stargazing session. Meeting at a designated point, an astronomer with a unique telescope guided us through an extraordinary celestial experience. Witnessing Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands, moon craters, constellations, and baby stars left me in awe. Kelly thoughtfully provided stools, blankets, and hot Milo, ensuring a comfortable experience. In expressing my gratitude to Kelly, I mentioned my intention to return for another stargazing tour, knowing that each time would bring new celestial wonders. Overall, I have nothing to complain about, and the tour was a truly remarkable and unforgettable experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

WOW! This description honestly blew us away, thankyou so very much Tiffany! It's a magical moment for us everytime we witness international travellers who are blocked by light pollution see thousands of stars for the first time. We're so thrilled you joined and experienced a wonderful evening. Thankyou kindly and we welcome you, your family and friends on another occasion.

Experienced the sounds as Aboriginals did and saw Saturn and Moon craters

Booked this trip through viator, Kelly (Juggle house experience)contacted me to iron out details and confirmation. Kelly was our guide and How was our astronomer for night. It was very amazing and different experience. We were able to see Saturn and moon craters as it was particularly bright night because of moon phases.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Your family brought so much joy to our tour as some of our first returning international customers since Covid-19. Thankyou for a truly memorable night!
