What To Expect
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.

Reviews
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!
Man kann es nur empfehlen!
Un momento muy agradable, tomando el tiempo de mirar la puesta de sol y las estrellas escuchando las explicaciones de astronomia y las anecdotas del cielo infinito por parte de Javier y Nuria...
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.
