How we travel

Two styles of small-group travel, plus private tours.

Starlight Voyages hosts very small group travel in two styles: Voyages, 3 to 4 day nature and dark-sky retreats in the American West, and Expeditions, 7 to 10 day deep dives into art, history and culture abroad, plus private tours planned around you.

Every trip is hosted by Abdul and Anna, kept small on purpose, and built so you can just show up. Photography coaching is part of the deal on most trips, whether you shoot with a mirrorless camera or your phone.
