Get ready for an unforgettable evening under the stars!
Join us for the Stargazing Cruise aboard the Port AdVenture cruise boat for a unique and relaxing way to explore the wonders of the night sky.
This exciting new event, perfect for both locals and visitors, is designed to give you a front-row seat to the cosmos in a fun, laid-back atmosphere that’s truly unlike anything else.
Presented by renowned astronomer and media personality, Dave Reneke, the evening will start with a breathtaking Secrets of the Universe slideshow, where Dave will take you on an unforgettable journey through the night sky. In simple terms, Dave will explain the hidden stories of the stars, constellations, and planets, making it an ideal experience for all ages.
After the presentation, take a break and head to the top deck for an interactive laser-guided sky tour. Dave will use a high-powered laser to highlight the major stars, constellations, and planets visible that night, offering insights you won’t find in any ordinary stargazing session.
Plus, binoculars will be provided, so you can get a closer look at the wonders above.
As you cruise, be sure to keep an eye out for dolphins, adding to the magic of the experience.
Throughout the evening, you’ll also be treated to fascinating Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, connecting the night sky to the rich cultural heritage of the land.
To make the night even more fun, join in the space trivia quiz where you could win exciting prizes!
Refreshments will be provided, ensuring you stay refreshed while you soak in the stunning views and cosmic wonders.
