Cultural and Theme Tours
Honeysuckles Astronomy Tours is a unique large telescope stargazing and beach holiday experience for individuals, or groups up to four people. Tours for Melbourne guests stay overnight in comfort; with an option to book multiple extra nights, having the beach cottage to themselves. It’s a fabulous adventure experience combining Gippsland’s finest pristine ocean beach immediately adjacent, with unspoiled dark skies to explore above at night.
Small tour groups allow for each observer to have ample time at the eyepiece exploring galaxies, star-forming regions, gaseous nebulae, planets and more.
Accommodation is prepared for guests and breakfast is included (for single overnight stays). Tours commence after dinner with a dark sky overview. Guests then travel thousands/millions of light-years into space viewing fascinating objects through the telescope, visible at the time of year. Tours last approximately two to three hours.
Local guests can book an evening Tour arriving at dusk. Melbourne guests booking an overnight stay event have the option to reserve a night of their choice (or confirm a date later after making a booking).

Honeysuckles Astronomy Tours is a unique stargazing experience to appeal to everyone, located 2.5 hours east of Melbourne.
Discover a spectacular universe through a large aperture observatory grade telescope from a pristine dark sky site in South-West Gippsland. Groups are small: from one to maximum four people in your group. This provides each observer with lots of observing time at the eyepiece as they explore galaxies, star forming regions, gaseous nebulae, planets and much more. It’s a spectacular night sky up there and this will be your best ticket to get there. The southern skies are the envy of astronomers around the world.
Each tour commences with an overview of the night sky and where you are in it. This provides a little ‘perspective’ and helps you to imagine the sky in 3D, not 2D as you view it when you look up. You are then immersed in the best objects visible as at the time of year.
Tours last approximately two hours. Guests can be local and book for an evening Astro Tour, or passing through and book a Tour and stay the night at beachside accommodation, leaving next morning after a hearty breakfast.
