Review of Tenerife’s Teide sunset and stargazing tour, with Canarian dinner, telescopes, hotel pickup, costs, group size, and practical tips.

“An excellent trip. Obligatory hotel pickups then onto Mt Tiede. Do not worry if you think it’s too cloudy as you’re about to go through the clouds and see a wonderful view of “Life above the clouds!” Wonderful views looking back down with a carpet of clouds beneath you!

Review of Milky Way Photography in Arches National Park, with camera advice, timing, guide details, costs, and practical booking tips.

“I have never taken a photo tour before and really didn’t know what to expect. The Rock Light Photo Tour in Moabe, Arches was incredible. I really didn’t know my camera, but Colin sent an instruction sheet before the tour so we could set our cameras up before night. It helped to have some of the settings started. Colin and Jeremy knew how to help with my camera, and I got some great shots of the Milky Way. Thanks, Colin, for your help, great trip.”
