Ever wanted to see or photograph the Milky Way? Hire a professional astrophotographer and guide to show you the way.
Private tours to see the stars
Perfect for couples, families, and private groups looking to escape Vegas’ bright city lights and relax under the stars.
Whether you want to capture your first professional photograph of the cosmos arching over dramatic desert formations, toast with a hot cocoa under a canopy of stars, or simply experience the profound, silent darkness of the Mojave Desert, we bring you to some of the darkest skies in the American West.
Bypass the stress of navigating pitch-black dirt roads, hunting for safe dark-sky locations, or fiddling with complex camera settings in the dark. By booking a private experience with Starlight Voyages, you bring an elite, professional astrophotographer directly to your side. We handle the telescope, professional photos, a constellation tour and personalized instruction so you can focus on the awe of the night sky. We’ll have you back to your hotel….. sometime before sunrise (unless you want to stay longer).
The private experience:
If you have a dream trip in mind but don’t want to deal with the headache of planning it or going alone, let us take care of the details for you.
We organize and host private trips both locally in the American Southwest and internationally. Whether you want to spend a weekend shooting the Milky Way over the sand dunes in Death Valley, camp under the stars in the Sahara, or explore historic spots in Egypt, we can make it happen.
When you book a private tour, you get us right by your side. We will handle the logistics, guide the way, and help you capture incredible photos of your journey.
What’s Included in a Private Tour
We want our private trips to feel easy and premium from start to finish. Here is what we include:
Private Transportation & VIP Arrival: You’ll travel in comfortable, private vehicles.
