Private Stargazing Tours
Private Stargazing Tours
Join Starshine to marvel at our incredible universe in the gorgeous setting of Sisters, Oregon! You'll take in the brilliance of Central Oregon’s night sky while, locating constellations, observing visible planets, the moon, and other celestial objects, and listening to ancient stories about the stars.
Tours begin about a half hour after sunset. ​Stay after the one-hour tour to get a glimpse into the deep sky through a telescope that magnifies the naked eye by 350. You'll receive sky maps, specialized to the month of viewing and binoculars to borrow. ​
Locations
Private stargazing tours are specially tailored to your interests, schedule, and location. We offer private tours at The Suttle Lodge, or we can go to a private location in Central Oregon to stargaze with you. Depending on the limitations of your location, we can accommodate up to 50 people for a private tour. Guests at Black Butte Ranch and House on Metolius can book private tours at those properties.
At The Suttle Lodge, groups of up to six people gather on the dock for an intimate hour with the Universe. Stars shimmer on the lake as we gaze into the skies, for a truly magnificent evening!

"Our guide, Jennie, was awesome and stargazing was a highlight of our vacation. She tailored the experience and kept my 3 and 5 year olds engaged. They sat still for 1 hour (!) learning about the stars. Now they repeat facts about black holes, the Milky Way and red giants. My husband and I loved it too." ~ Dena (2022)

"Fabulous, intimate evening with the stars. Educational, cosmic, and rejuvenating to lie on blankets in the grass with other stargazers and look up at the sky together." Jennifer, 2024
