Hidden deTours is excited to announce the launch of the Rockingham Sunset and Stargazing Tour - a new immersive experience set against the stunning backdrop of Shoalwater Foreshore Reserve Park in Rockingham.
Designed to appeal to those seeking a unique and educational outdoor experience, this tour blends science, storytelling, and stargazing for an unforgettable evening under the stars. The Rockingham Sunset and Stargazing Tour takes visitors on an extraordinary journey from the sun's radiant energy to the mysteries of the night sky.
Utilising silent disco technology, the tour allows participants to engage with the wonders of the universe in a tranquil and immersive environment. The tour's content is designed to be both interactive and educational. Participants will safely observe sunspots through a telescope equipped with solar filters, learning about the sun's influence on Earth’s climate and weather. As the evening progresses, guests will explore the moon's surface features and discover how the moon impacts Earth's tides.
The tour also includes a deep dive into the stars and planets visible in the night sky. With the help of a telescope and laser pointer, guests can explore constellations, zodiac signs, and bright stars like Betelgeuse and Sirius. Key planets such as Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and Saturn, along with their moons, will also be highlighted.
Tour participants will benefit from the expertise of astro tour guide Grant Thornett, who brings passion and in-depth knowledge of stargazing and space exploration to the experience. In addition to the celestial experience, the tour provides a rare opportunity to spot wildlife on Seal Island. Using the telescope, guests can view seals and pelicans in their natural habitat, while learning about the local wildlife and its role in the regional ecosystem.
Guests are invited to bring their own picnic, to enhance the evening, providing a perfect opportunity for guests to relax and enjoy a breathtaking sunset.
