It was great fun walking the trail and seeing more and more stars appearing as the sky got darker and darker. The starry sky was beautiful ! Our guide showed us how to take better photos in the dark. He was also very knowledgeable and humourous. Overall, it was a very special and enjoyable experience (despite multiple mosquitoe bites 😆).

We loved our tour! Jacob entertained us with stories & jokes while pointing out different stars and constellations. We got lucky with a clear night & had great visibility. Got some pretty decent pictures. Overall a wonderful evening! Walk was very easy down a mostly paved path, with some boardwalks and dirt paths mixed throughout. There are benches available at most of the longer stops.
