Port Elliot stargazing tour (Fleurieu Peninsula)

Held at the western end of Ratalang Basham Beach Regional Park, Port Elliot during the summer months. We don't use this location at other times of the year because it's frequently overcast or foggy at night  ☹    We also offer this tour at Wirrina Cove throughout the year.

We do a multicultural tour of the constellations with our laser pointer and telescopes. You'll see stars, clusters, planets, nebulae, galaxies and more with one of Australia's most experienced astronomical guides.
This is a 90 minute guided tour you won't soon forget!

Accessibility:
The tour happens on a flat, natural soil surface covered by mowed vegetation. Strollers with small wheels may find it bumpy (the soil here develops cracks when it's dry). Car parking is available along the access road, from which you walk about 150 metres via the pedestrian gap to our telescopes.
There is a wheelchair accessible public toilet by the car park.

You can also buy Gift Vouchers for stargazing tours.
