When the sun goes down, Dark Sky Guides Ltd. swings into action. The outfit offers interpretive nighttime tours and stargazing opportunities in Waterton Lakes National Park. If you're not a night owl, consider a midday snowshoe tour or a visit to the Waterton Planetarium. Dark Sky Guides Ltd. offers private tours, group tours and townsite strolls. The tours let guests stargaze using quality telescopes, binoculars or the naked eye. The guides are storytellers, and they deliver memorable interpretive tours that showcase the night sky, the moon and neighbouring planets. You may even spot deep-sky objects like distant nebulae and star clusters, the Milky Way, constellations, the aurora borealis and nocturnal wildlife. Private custom tours are also available. Dark Sky Guides Ltd, was recently named the Best New Tourism Experience in Alberta by the ALTO Alberta Tourism Awards.
