Proprietary Stargazing Process

Dark Sky Destinations’ unique stargazing system empowers travellers to create their own personalized night-sky experiences, guided by the expertise and resources of our trusted partners. Each accommodation provides guests with easy-to-use, month-long stargazing booklets that highlight what’s visible in the night sky and exactly where to look, making astronomy accessible to beginners and enthusiasts alike. To ensure meaningful observing, all partners are required to offer binoculars at a minimum, with many also providing telescopes for deeper exploration. Every Dark Sky Destinations location is carefully selected for exceptional night skies that meet strict Bortle 4 or better darkness standards. For those seeking a truly immersive experience, guests can elevate their stay by booking a Cliff Valley Astronomy Private Star Party, featuring expert guidance under some of Canada’s darkest skies.
