STARGAZING · PRIVATE DRIVERS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: private night drivers worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before the deposit goes down.
Travel from San Pedro de Atacama to a dark viewing site for a 150-minute astronomy evening led by guides such as Felipe or Claudio. Learn Western and Andean sky lore, use large telescopes, see southern constellations, and finish with warm drinks and a souvenir photo.
“I spent really great time and learned about constellations, planets and more. My guide was kind and professional!”
Ride the Mega Star from Antalya to Kemer for swimming stops at Phaselis, Kiris, and Cennet Bay. Enjoy lunch, a foam party, music, hotel transfers, and family activities. Captain Ali bin Express and his crew add plenty of entertainment, while drinks cost extra.
“The tour was perfectly organized- the shuttle came on time, we did not have to wait anywhere. The ship was big and comfortable- everybody was able to find a seat or even change it on different decks:) The Captain was great as well as his crew:) it was so exciting to watch them dance and join the party:) The only thing one should keep in mind is that it is possible to land on condition you can jump from the ship and swim to the shore. The views are stunning:)”
Leave San Pedro de Atacama for a 15-minute ride to a dark observation site. An English- or Spanish-speaking astronomer explains the sky, ancient Greek constellations, and telescope targets. Enjoy wine, pisco sour, hot drinks, snacks, blankets, and basic astrophotography during this 150-minute outing.
“Péssimo. Tour com um grupo enorme de cerca de 50 pessoas, muito mal organizado, com um transporte inqualificável. TOTALMENTE Desaconselhável.”
Leave Celebrity Constellation at Ravenna cruise terminal and ride privately to Venice Marco Polo Airport in about two hours. Your driver helps with luggage, provides an air-conditioned vehicle, and leaves you at the correct departure area. Drivers such as Daniel have also helped passengers find airport luggage trolleys and check-in.
“Driver was on time. Offered us all water and was efficient and safe. Dropped us at the airport with plenty of time.”
From San Pedro de Atacama, a Spanish-speaking astronomy guide leads you through Western stargazing and ancient Andean sky lore. You will use telescopes to view solar-system and deep-space objects, then enjoy coffee, cookies, and a sky image sent by email.
Pick a desert, a summit or a telescope.
