About this activity

The sky of Menorca is unique in Europe and the Mediterranean, in the different observation points of the island you can clearly see the Milky Way, stars, planets, constellations and endless objects in the night sky that due to light pollution no longer they are unaffordable elsewhere. The activity consists of a complete astronomical observation, with a theoretical introduction, a guided tour of the sky by a Starlight guide, observation of the main celestial objects at night with a laser pointer, astronomical binoculars and state-of-the-art telescopes to enjoy the Milky Way, Galaxies , Nebulae and the brightest stars. All this together with the mythology of the constellations and the stories of the Menorca sky.

    2 hr - We offer this night sky activity at our headquarters, in a private place that has services such as WC, tables, chairs, terrace. The tour is basically astronomical. Upon receiving clients we give them a brief explanation of Menorca and its commitment as a biosphere reserve to sustainability. We explain what it also means to be a "Starlight" territory, reserve and destination, which has the night sky protected. Next we teach the virtues of the natural landscape where they are found. The highlight of the activity is the observation of the night sky through laser pointers, astronomical binoculars and telescopes. All this recreated with the mythology enclosed in the constellations and the observation of various objects such as planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies.

Preciosa experiencia

Fue una experiencia increíble. En un entorno natural, sentados en circulo, Javier fue poco a poco explicándonos muchísimas cosas a la vez que nos lo mostraba, tanto con el láser como con los telescopios. Las dos horas se pasan volando. A tener en cuenta que se debe reservar con antelación (al menos en agosto) y el tiempo es impredecible. A nosotros nos salió un día nublado y nos pusimos en contacto con Javier. No tuvimos la opción de cancelar la actividad, pero Javier nos dijo que lo más seguro era que se pudiese realizar y así fue. Para las 7 de la tarde todas esas nubes que nos habían acompañado el día entero desaparecieron. ¡Muchas gracias por una noche tan bonita!

actividad a disfrutar en Menorca

Una gran noche. El cielo de Menorca es una maravilla y esta experiencia la disfrutamos mucho. Totalmente recomendable no solo para turistas sino también para los que viven en Menorca. Javier es un guía y maestro formidable. Conduce la noche de forma didáctica y a la vez amena. El trato con él es cercano, se adapta a cada situación y lo hace con mucha pasión.

Increible experiencia de astronomía y turismo

Excelente experiencia de observacion del cielo nocturno con telescopios en un lugar fantástico. Todo tiene su magia en esta actividad, cuidada y dirigida con cariño. Apta para todos los niveles, además ofrecen salidas en barco y 4x4 por toda la isla, y no precisamente para tomar cervezas sino para aprender de primera mano las singularidades y secretos de la isla.
