Stargazing – but so much more
The Stargazing tour with Tony and Cuz was the absolute highlight of our recent trip to Palm Springs. The tour lived up to all the reviews, but until you experience it for yourself there is no way to describe how what you see and hear will impact you. Tony’s stories will change the way you view the sky, and how you view your place in the universe. What I saw with the night vision goggles was way better than any telescope views I’ve had on other stargazing tours – the goggles allow you to see the true number of stars in the sky (almost too many to comprehend). The zero-gravity chairs, the poncho-like snuggie to keep you warm, and the provided snacks all contribute to keeping you comfortable and allow you to focus on the sky as much as possible without distraction. My family and I all thought this was one of the coolest things we have ever done in our travels – it is truly an experience not to be missed!

An absolutely unforgettable experience! This stargazing experience was hands-down one of the highlights of my trip. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully done. Tutu & Cuz were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making the night sky come alive with fascinating stories, science, and humor that kept everyone engaged. The equipment provided was top-notch, and seeing the stars, planets, and constellations through military grade night vision goggles was truly breathtaking. The setting was peaceful and magical, far away from city lights, which made the experience even more special. Whether you’re a first-time stargazer or a seasoned astronomy lover, this tour is something you shouldn’t miss. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone visiting the area.

Amazing Experience, Highly Recommend
The star tour with Tony and Cuz was amazing! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but you arrive at dusk and there’s a beautiful candle lit pathway that leads to the star gazing area. It was a chilly evening, but Tony has snuggies available for everyone, which is a nice touch; they kept us very warm. Shortly after introductions, Tony passed out a pair of night vision goggles to everyone and, (OMG!!), it was was a huge eye opener! You’re able to see so many more stars, satellites, and anything else that may be in the night sky! While looking at anything and everything through the goggles, Tony is talking story and answering any questions you may have about anything space or universe related. I learned some very cool and interesting facts about the night sky and how it has been used throughout the centuries. They also have a pair of high powered binoculars that we used to watch the moon rise over the horizon; you could see every crater on the moon with the binoculars. I recommend going around the time of a full moon, so you can see the full lit up portion of the moon.There’s also a very high powered telescope that you can look through to see nebulas, stars, and galaxies! The telescope takes long exposure photographs, and you’re gifted with the pictures once the tour has completed. Highly recommend this star tour! We’ll definitely be back once the seasons change and there’s different stars in the night sky to learn about!

Loved the enthusiasm and the structure. Never saw satellites move in orbit before and the apparatus helped me see them. Loved seeing the nebulas and various structure in space. The host entertained us with stories from different places and shared his work in the army on refueling missions. Overall we enjoyed it a lot and seeing our galaxy from the mystic Joshua tree park was the icing on the cake for our trip.

Tony and his eager-to-help partner, Cus, were an awesome pair of friendly guides out to show you a new and enlightening experience. I could have stayed out there another 1.5 hours listening to stories and thinking up questions for Tony. I presume every night is different based on the guests and their engagement. Tony has a lot of passion and charisma. Though Joshua Tree is a gorgeous National Park with plenty of natural wonder, it needed something like Tony’s unique stargazing tour experience to make this trip even more meaningful and memorable for my teen/pre-teen kids.

Tony is extremely knowledgeable about navigating the stars and I enjoyed how he ties the constellations and navigating stars into childhood such as nursery rhymes and also how he shares other cultures’ knowledge of astrology and relates it to us, showing us that we are all connected. Kevin was knowledgeable in locating and talking about the stars with us as well, he showed us some awesome stars and nebulas around us that night via a fancy telescope/camera and high tech binoculars. Can’t forget about the military grade night vision goggles as well, which was unreal! We also received pictures from their fancy telescope that they took that night to have as a memory that we all shared forever. We also captured a picture of us with the stars which makes a unique souvenir unlike anything else provided at Joshua Tree. I am grateful to have this experience and highly recommend it if you love Joshua Tree, stargazing, and being open to new experiences! Thank you Tony & Kevin!

This is like no other stargazing tour you’ve ever been on! Tony is a fantastic guide – his knowledge of how other cultures around the world view the skies will give you a totally new perspective on what you see at night. I can’t wait to share some of his stories with my friends! Plus, you get to use military grade night vision googles, which is an experience like no other. And in the end, you get gorgeous photos to commemorate your evening. Definitely the highlight of our trip to California!

The next night we were looking up and recognizing the stars and thinking of all the wonderful stories Tony weaved throughout the conversation. Definitely recommend!

Toni und Kevin sind zwei äußerst liebenswerte Menschen die ihre Begeisterung für den Sternenhimmel sofort auf einen Anfänger übertragen. es ist faszinierend, was man alles nicht in der Schule lernt und wie viele Kulturen andere Namen für Sternbilder haben. Auch vielen Dank für die kleinen tollen Geschenke. sehr zu empfehlen und macht einfach alles Spaß. danke Tutu. 🙏

Tony is one of those people that you meet and you will remember for the rest of your life. The knowledge he has and shares with you is quite literally out of this world, and yet, he is able to share his knowledge in a way that makes you feel more connected with others, the earth, and the cosmos. The experience was incredibly special and Tony made it feel like we had Joshua Tree completely to ourselves. He was able to make it incredibly personable to where I know if I went back and did it again the next night, I would learn entirely new information. The equipment he uses will open your eyes to what humans have seen for our entire existence, yet we are missing and forgetting in today’s modern world. It’s the perfect amount of learning, but also reconnecting to the universe. I can’t recommend it enough. I hope that anyone would book this event, because I think the world would be a better place if everyone were to experience this.

A unique and thought provoking way to view the night sky
If you are looking to learn the stars let an astronomer show you. If you want to KNOW the stars have Tony teach you. Viewing the night sky as ancient civilizations did is the background of Tony’s presentation. Many of the stories from the aboriginal, Inca, Aztec, native Hawaiian and American Indian cultures have been lost through the ages. Tony’s specialty is to track down the stories that remain and teach them to us before they are also lost forever. Only in this way will these stories be available for future generations of stargazers. Using military grade night vision googles in addition to the stories that Tony weaves, you will learn to look at the stars in the sky with a greater appreciation of the role they played over the history of human existence.

A Magical Stargazing Experience in Joshua Tree
This was my first time joining a stargazing tour, and I was very fortunate to meet a guide in Joshua Tree who is deeply passionate about the night sky. His tour is dedicated to restoring the ancient connection between humans and the stars.After electricity was invented, 97% of the light in the universe became invisible to the naked eye. The starry sky we see today is completely different from what our ancestors once saw.The guide shared four incredible photos taken with a military-grade telescope, but the most fascinating part of the night was using a light-intensifying device. Unlike a telescope, it doesn’t magnify the stars—it simply enhances visible light. Through it, I discovered just how alive the night sky is: satellites moving across space, stars flickering at different speeds and intensities. Under such a sky, it’s impossible to imagine ancient people not believing in constellations, creating myths, or following seasonal rhythms.He also told us many stories about the stars. For example, he described an image of three children sitting in a canoe, with three freshly caught fish hanging from its side. When this scene appears in the northern hemisphere, it signals the arrival of summer. I couldn’t remember which stars he mentioned at the time, but after looking it up later, I believe it was Orion and Sirius.The relationship between ancient people and nature is truly magical. Looking up at the vast cosmos, it’s hard not to feel like a child of nature. The universe offered patterns that people turned into rhythms, which guided farming, hunting, and daily life year after year.It made me wonder: who is more attached to certainty—modern people or the ancients? I think it’s us, modern people. Surrounded by steel and concrete, everything feels permanent. Electricity, water, and food supplies are increasingly stable and controlled. Yet when modern people enter a no-service zone like Joshua Tree, they often feel helpless—unaware that within this seeming uncertainty lies a profound sense of safety.

Joshua Tree Stargazing
We recently visited Joshua Tree and booked a stargazing package with Tony—and it was one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we arrived, Tony made us feel so welcome. His passion for astronomy and deep knowledge of the night sky really brought everything to life.The setting was peaceful and perfectly chosen for optimal stargazing. He provided high-quality telescopes and even helped us take incredible photos of the moon, and star clusters. Tony explained everything in a way that was both educational and easy to understand, even for beginners like us.It wasn’t just about the stars—it was a full experience: storytelling, quiet reflection under the cosmos, and feeling connected to something greater. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Joshua Tree. It’s something we’ll never forget. ✨🌠

Best stargazing experience!
This was hands down one of the best tours I have ever experienced. It is a bit daunting to think about finding the tour group off a Joshua Tree parking lot at night, but the logistics and communication by Molly and Tony were exceptional, with Cuz onsite. They are also quick responders to any questions. Every aspect of the experience has been perfected.I don’t know much about astronomy and figured this tour would help point out some constellations for us. It was SO much more, full of Tony’s impassioned stories from different cultures about the stars . His enthusiasm is contagious and knowledge is impressive. The tour is totally unscripted yet packed with great stories and just the right amount of interaction. It is a great and inspiring story how the business was developed. They offer drinks and snacks as well as blankets and gravity chairs, with flameless candles lighting where to step.The two other highlights for us were the UFO military grade goggles that make the stars and planets pop as they did for our ancestors, prior to light pollution. The equipment is clearly state of the art. The slow exposure portrait Tony takes at the end is absolutely beautiful and frameable. I left wanting to do further research on the stars, and would repeat these tours again for sure.

Not just constellations, but stories and cool night vision goggles
Tony and Cuz ran our Stargazing tour. You are not going to just be sitting there with some guy pointing at random constellations. Tony had so many stories about how different stars were viewed in different cultures. You can tell they have been doing this for a while because Tony had a story for every question that came up. This was definitely the favorite part of our trip. Communication was great. Directions were clear on where to meet them.

Tony and cuz (I hope I spelled his nickname right, lol) are very knowledgeable about astronomy and one of the kindest people I have ever met. Mind you, I am deaf in both ears. After booking this event, I realized that I would have a hard time during this social event. NOPE, I was wrong. They were absolutely SO accommodating for me. It made me felt more involved. They made sure I was able to understand what they were saying while engaging in discussions with the other people in the group. Tony had so many stories and information to share about the history and reading the night sky. You should absolutely 100% book this event if you are able to. You will not regret it.

Our stargazing experience in Joshua Tree was awesome. Tony and Cuz were friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. They had comfortable reclining chairs, blankets, water, and snacks for everyone. They used a telescope/camera device to show us some far away galaxies and nebulas, but most of our time was spent learning how to read the stars with the naked eye, which I really appreciated. They showed us the stars like Galileo saw them, which was really cool. They also had some night vision goggles that blocked even more light out so we could see stars we couldn’t see with the naked eye. We loved it. Definitely worth the price of admission. Thanks Tony, Molli, and Cuz!

Do not miss this!
10/10 recommend doing this when visiting Joshua Tree. Before this I experience I thought I had already seen the magic of the stars in JT’s dark sky. After I realized I’d only seen a fraction of what’s going on up there…. the professional-grade night vision goggles and high intensity telescopes enabled me to see everything- and it’s a lot! Saw Jupiter and its moons, Mars, all the constellations, shooting stars, satellites, space junk, and so many tiny stars invisible to the naked eye. Tony’s knowledge and enthusiasm is vast and we learned through his engaging stories and the laser pointer he used to beam a light up to everything he talked about. On a practical note, this business is so well-run. Communication and instructions were clear and timely. The set-up couldn’t be cozier – blankets, zero-gravity chairs to gaze comfortably, and small candles lighting the pathways for ambience and safety. They even sent complimentary souvenir photos the next day. On a practical note, it’s only steps from the parking area, making it accessible for those with mobility challenges.

Tony’s expertise was truly impressive, and he even stayed afterward to answer more of our questions and recommend books for my husband, who is fascinated by the subject. The entire experience was well-organized, easy to find within the park, and started right on time. We highly recommend this experience to anyone curious about the night sky!

This stargazing tour was nothing short of magic! From Molli’s directions, to the set up provided by Tony and Cuz- everything was planned perfectly. I loved learning new ways to see the same stars I have my whole life. Orion the hunter can be a canoe, a hand, or even a dragonfly- depending on your perception. I really enjoyed learning how to perceive time differently, specifically the part about how the past is in front of us, and the future is behind. Tony’s stories of our night sky will stay with me well beyond tonight! I was honored to share the same sacred breath together.

An awesome way to learn about the constellations. Tony weaved a wonderful story about how different cultures interpreted the stars whilst keeping those stories grounded by the recognizable patterns in the cosmos. We also got to play with some cool tech that really helped to highlight night sky. Perhaps most importantly, he and his staff were beyond personable and made great effort to connect with each of the guests. It really helped us wind down all the more after a day of exploring Joshua Tree National Park. Would definitely recommend to all but especially families. Great fun and a great value.

Magical experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. I would have never had the courage, knowledge, or tools to do this myself. The Night Vision googles were mind blowing and open your eyes to an entire universe. Thanks for this amazing experience.

What an amazing experience!! Tony was an exceptional story teller who shared engaged us from start to finish with his knowledge – we loved his enthusiasm!! Appreciated the lighting for safety, the comfy chairs and cozy hoodie, and using the night goggles made everything come to life! Also really enjoyed the telescope viewing! Cuz was a great addition to the team! Also appreciate how organized the whole process was – emailing instructions head of time etc. We highly recommend this experience. I left feeling a deep appreciation of the indigenous peoples around the world – their knowledge, wisdom and gratitude for our Mother Earth.

Our group of four had a fabulous time. We learned a lot. We were able to see amazing things that we wouldn’t have been able to see back home without going to an observatory. The set up was great. Tony’s knowledge and story telling were top notch. The equipment used was fabulous. Our group left saying we would all do it again.

The experience was amazing. Starting with the instructions given by Molli, the reception from Cuz and the experience with Tony. It was beyond what I was expecting. The sky was not even that clear, Tony kindly gave us the option to leave, I’m glad I stayed and the whole experience was great. The storytelling, the answers, the explanation, the sky, the moon, the gear, the pictures. Super recommend!

We’re all sitting here at breakfast the next morning still buzzing over the experience last night with Tony and Cuz. The stories, the stars, the stories, the goggles, the history, the stories, the philosophy, the setup, the care shown, and the stories – so well done!! A must worth the price for anyone wanting the perfect ending to a day at Joshua Tree.

Amazing experience!
This was my first time stargazing at Joshua Tree and I am glad I went with these guys!This was not a typical stargazing tour. In a way, it was a history lesson. (I like historical btw). I learned so much about wisdom of people went before me and how they used storytelling of the stars they observed to enrich their lives.I will definitely sign up for another stargazing tour with these guys in the future to hear more stories about stars from people of the past.

Awesome!!! You must do this stargazing tour. I’ve never seen the moon that close up with that powerful binoculars. Loved that I was able to see Orion constellation, Andromeda and an exploding star. I loved the stories and the night vision goggles! Tony and Cuz were great hosts. They’re attentive and made the evening fun and comfortable!

Great night stargazing!
Tony was so great telling so many stories of the stars and how the older generations charted the stars using sing songs, etc. He was the best I have ever had explain the univese. His night vision and telescopes worked great and the final photo he took was surreal! Cuz was so helpful showing us the galaxies, very nice people both. I would do this each year we come out.

I had a memorable experience looking up at all those stars and planets.

Tony and Kevin were wonderful hosts. Great storytelling, extremely personable and friendly. They did everything in their power to ensure guests were comfortable in the cold temperatures – they provided a warm Snuggie, electric hand warmer, a chair, and snacks. Tony shared various stories and fun facts about the stars, and Kevin set up the viewing apparatus to show us a variety of nebulas and stars that filled the night sky. They also provided military grade night vision binoculars that enhanced the aesthetic of the starry sky, revealing stars that were hidden to the naked eye. Ahead of and after the experience, communication was excellent with Molli. All in all a pleasant and unique experience, thanks.

We had an unforgettable night with Tony under the stars in Joshua Tree! The location was perfect—away from city lights, the air was crisp but Tony provided us with big hoodies and hand warmers which was a great touch. Through the telescope, we saw constellations, planets, and even distant galaxies which were all stunning! Tony was not only knowledgeable but passionate, bringing the night sky to life with fascinating facts and stories from ancient civilizations all over the world that added depth to the experience. It’s a humbling reminder of just how vast the universe is and how small we are in comparison. Whether you’re a seasoned stargazer or a curious beginner, this experience is a must!

Really about a MILLION stars
We travel frequently and have had the opportunity to do and see some amazing things around the world and this Star Gazing experience was among the most unique and memorable. There is SO MUCH TO LIKE:-Tony’s expertise explaining and interpretation of the stars and constellations-the very cool, once-in-a-lifetime chance to look at the sky through military grade night vision goggles -the warm fuzzy hooded blanket-like ponchos they provide that are like a big warm hug (even if you brought tons of layers)-the wonderful follow-up and directions to the spot in Joshua Tree national park -the friendly and helpful assistant “cuz”-the small group (9 people max)-the great gravity chairs so you can look up while laying back-the amazing souvenir photo they take and send you for freeWhat it’s like-this is a lot more than an ordinary star tour. Yes they have big telescopes and show you cool cigar galaxies, planets and moons, but in addition Tony weaves together stories and mythology from global cultures while pointing out features in the sky. Part graduate astronomy class, part philosophy part geography-listening and learning was truly mesmerizing.If you have the chance to do this, don’t hesitate you will NOT regret the experience. The only negative is that the time just flew by-we could have listened to the stories for another hour or two beyond the 90 minute schedule.

Once in a lifetime experience
What a wonderful experience. A unique chance to see the stars like they should be seen. I hesitated to book because it’s on the pricier side, and hey, can’t you look at stars in Joshua Tree yourself? But it was worth every penny and more. The stories, the knowledge, the wonder. Overall, an excellent -7 Sisters STARS – wonderful time. Thank you to Tony and “Cuz” who were so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, accommodating, they kept us warm, facinated, and engaged the whole time. My favorites were the Andromeda Galaxy, the surface of the moon (WOW), the “Golden Gate Bridge” and especially the parting gift – it’s awesome but don’t want to spoil the surprise. Notes – dress warm, they provide additional layers and comfy chairs but wear warm clothes, screen shot or print directions, so you know exactly where you are doing. Your phone will be zilch-help while you are out there. However, once you are there you are very thoroughly well taken care of.

NOT WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT, BUT MORE
I knew I had arranged an experience with a professional crew when they changed the meeting date five days in advance because of forecasted weather. On arrival Tony enthusiastically greeted us, along with Cuz. Then it began. We were instantly transported to native american folklore as we gazed the constellations. This was not a “see that? that’s alpha centuri” experience. This was a connection of people on earth with the constellations that have been there for eons. Native American, Hawaiian, Polynesian… When to hunt. When winter starts. Tony was non-stop. While Tony talked story, Cuz set up the telescope to view the nebulas. Real life Smithsonian Institute stuff. Did you know you can use your fist in the sky as a “GPS” to the stars? I can keep going; It’s been over 2 weeks since I met Tony and Cuz, and I still feel the energy that was generated. I am looking forward to another experience with Tony. I suggest you get on their list.

You’ll never look at the sky the same
This was hands-down the highlight of our three week stay in Joshua Tree (which is saying a lot because JT is absolutely stunning!). We had a great time with Tony and Cuz and the other guests for the evening. Tony is an excellent story teller and we feel we got to build a new connection with the cosmos. Shout out to Molli for all the logistics and super responsiveness / ease of booking. Book it – you won’t regret it.

Experience and photo of a lifetime
This experience with Tony was way beyond what we could have imagined. I brought my 81 year old client and my mother to see Joshua Tree and learn about the stars. Well done everyone. The experience was top notch from start to finish and don’t get me started about all the information TONY knew…. Well for sure do this again… A little tip, you should do it when the moon is at its lowest in light as you will see so so much more an deeper into space…..

An unforgettable night with the stars
I had such an amazing time on this trip. Tony and Cuz created an absolutely magical experience. The night vision goggles gave a glimpse into the sky that would otherwise have been impossible. Tony passed on his knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors with such generosity. I have never been able to remember constellations, but he had such a unique way of imparting information about star formations that I still remember what he taught us. His approach to teaching mixes a childlike curiosity with an age old wisdom that we have lost over time. All in all, this is an experience I highly recommend. I hope to go again soon! To top it off, at the end, we all got to take photos and in my solo pic, the camera captured a shooting star!

Awesome Experience of the night sky
We thoroughly enjoyed our stargazing experience with Tony – Addicted2Wonder Stargazing Joshua Tree.. He is so incredibly knowledgable about the stars, galaxies, planets, – anything to do with the night sky. He is truly a spiritual person – connecting ancient stories and current thoughts and our connection to all of it. We saw incredible images of the many objects in the night sky through the night vision goggles he provided. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone and everyone interested in learning about the night sky and how it has been viewed over the decades, centuries and millennia..

An Amazing way to experience the universe in Joshua Tree
We had an incredible experience with Tony & Molli they were excellent throughout the process. They helped point us in the right direction to get into Joshua Tree and see some great sights on the way to the Star Tour. Tonys enthusiasm was infectious and we were left hanging on his every word. From his explanation to the technology we were using to his stories from our older brothers and sisters. To how he used the stars to navigate in his professional life. We didn’t see a UFO but we got incredibly lucky and saw a SpaceX Rocket streak across the sky near the end of our tour. We did this to make a memory for our 1st anniversary and my wife and I were “star struck” with our experience thank you both so much!

Once in a Lifetime, Mind Blowing Perspective on the Skies
This was one of the best tours I’ve ever taken, in Sky Nation or otherwise. Molli’s communication was clear and concise leading up to the tour. Tony’s enthusiasm is contagious and his knowledge knows no bounds. Cuz lined up some of the most incredible viewing and gave insight to the true science in the astros. Stories were customized to where we were from and our background so this was truly a one of a kind experience. The gear you use are things you may never get to try and viewing the skies through night vision is truly something to behold. I will absolutely do this again, as I don’t think one visit is nearly enough with these consummate experts.

Magical Stargazing Experience!
My wife and I, newlyweds, had an unforgettable stargazing experience with Tony and Kevin. Their knowledge and enthusiasm were contagious! We loved the comfortable zero-gravity chairs and breathtaking views. A highlight was when Tony pointed out a binary star system in the Little Dipper, sharing a romantic story that made the moment truly special. The Unistellar telescope images were stunning. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable experience!

Amazing Star Gazing night
We had an amazing experience.We had the tour in early August when it was darkest. After weeks of clear skies we arrived to a cloud sat right above us. In fairness, Tony offered to cancel and give us a full refund. All the attendees said no as we could still see a lot of stars. Luckily, the skies cleared and it was amazing.You meet in the middle of Joshua Tree park at a parking lot just before dark. Tony and Cuz set up an area with minimal lighting, binoculars, telescope and reclining chairs. The best thing is the Military Grade night vision goggles. You can see thousands of stars and the Milky way. There were constant shooting stars to see.Cuz uses the telescope to find some huge constellations and takes photos which are later emailed to you. Tony has so much knowledge and they are both so friendly.This was the highlight of our trip to California!

A fun learning adventure in the desert sky with incredible photos.
This was an incredible experience. I saw so many shooting stars and learned more about the night sky than I thought possible. Tony has so much knowledge about stories of the stars from cultures all over the world. I was entertained and also feel like I can read the sky at least a little now. Tony and his cousin looked after our group and made us feel comfortable in the night desert. The photo takeaways are incredible. The emails and directions were clear and helpful. The next time I’m in Joshua Tree I will do this again, because I know Tony has so much more to share. Thank you!!

Stargazing Tour Full of Wisdom and knowledge
I booked this tour for my boyfriend’s birthday, and he absolutely LOVED it. Tony and Kevin are deeply passionate about the stars, and this is contagious. The stories they told are very inspiring. They go beyond astronomy and offer a lot of wisdom and spiritual insight. The tour lasted much longer than expected because Tony had so much to share; he doesn’t count the hours, and we could have stayed all night. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to understand where we come from, where we are going, and our connection to the Earth and the universe.Thank you both for your generosity!Claire & Paul

One of a kind experience like no other
Wow! What an incredible experience we had on this stargazing adventure. I actually went to one with a different company a week before and nothing compares to the experience that Tony and Cuz provided for our group. Being amongst the Joshua Tree Desert energy (not the parking lot like the other one) was a harmonizing experience, being able to see the stars with the night vision goggles was a one of a kind experience seeing beyond the naked eye while Tony told his stories of our ancestors and how to be able to read the sky like our lineage did in the past was incredible. Nevermind the amazing photos and pictures of the galaxies, nebulas and our group under the Milky Way. If you want to have an experience that you won’t be disappointed in absolutely come to Tony!

So cool! You should do this!
I booked this trip for my husband’s birthday. At first it seemed pricey, but after the experience, I think it was totally worth it! The owners are kind and easy to work with; they communicate well, and everything went smoothly. Tony is an amazing storyteller, and we learned so much. The night vision binoculars were spectacular, and the telescopes were some of the best I had used. I’ve been to a few night sky experiences, and this is by far my favorite. I highly recommend you book directly through the company. I booked months in advance and used a safe number on my credit card through Google. Since Trip Advisor didn’t run my card until right before the trip, the number didn’t work any more, and without warning, TA canceled my trip TWO DAYS BEFORE I planned to go. We were coming from out of town and had rented a place to stay already. When I tried to rebook the stargazing tour through TA, there was no more availability, and TA makes it hard for you to contact them over the phone. My whole trip was almost ruined! Thank goodness Molli and Tony let me rebook through them at the last minute. They are amazing! Trip Advisor, not so much.

Out of this world experience
This is a great experience. None of us had ever seen the night sky like this! The night vision goggles allowed us to see stars, planets, and even galaxies! We also saw the moon rise over the mountains at Joshua Tree, and we caught a glimpse of a meteor burning through the sky. It was a fantastic experience for all of us.

Stargazing like you never experienced.
It was amazing seeing the dark sky light up in wonder. Tony has a wealth of information, sharing it in a unique story telling format. It was a cold and windy night. Even though we dressed warm, we could have dressed warmer. Wear gloves & a hat if the temperature is 50 or below.The chairs that were provided are perfect for stargazing. Communication with easy and clear. We met inside Joshua Tree national park. If you don’t have a park pass, there is a park admission. I’m so glad we did this. The memories will last forever 🌟🌠💫

They share a great deal of information prier of the event, so I felt safe and ready to whatever. And the day of the event, Tony was so passionate and great on sharing first nations knowledge, sky knowledge, stories about constellations, and more. The chairs are great and comfortable. They gave me the most wonderful pictures!The best experience I ever had! I loved it!

Drove to Joshua Tree for this stargazing tour. It was great. Met the guide, Tony, at his location near a parking lot. He had chairs and flameless candles set up nicely. It was interesting to learn about the constellations and hear tales of wisdom. It was beautiful seeing the sky with the high powered binoculars and telescope and without. I also loved the pictures Tony took of us stargazing. It’s a very memorable experience and I would recommend it.

Our understanding of our universe is so very limited and Tony provides a fresh perspective and new appreciation for just how vast and special it all is. The equipment provided allowed us to see things people on the ground have not been able to view for a very long time. Tony’s knowledge was able to illuminate our mind to go with the stars. We will never look at the sky in the same way. Thank you.

An experience of childlike joy
I so appreciated Tony’s humor, knowledge of sky stories from many different cultures, and overall organization (which I hear is from his partner Molli – he gives her all the credit lol). I have always been fascinated by the night sky, and this experience reawakened a part of me that has been buried under time and less access to the night sky due to light pollution. It was amazing to see the sky lit up, not unlike the one I gazed at as a child. It’s an awe-inspiring experience. The tilt back chairs, the stories of the sky, thoughtful parting gifts, and the night vision googles were well thought out and really added such a level of joy to the night. It’s also fun to be out in the desert, at night, with others who are also having a new experience. All ages, sizes, and orientations will enjoy this tour. Now when I look at the sky, I will always know where I am at. Thanks Tony and Molli!

See all the stuff that is up there in the night sky, and hear how it has been talked about for generations
This was a “Dark Night” tour, so no Moon. We had a great experience that will stay with us for years. I would recommend for anyone who wants to see things that are lost to most of us due to light pollution in the city.This was a fun and different way to see the night sky, and hear how may native cultures talk about the night sky.Use of Mil-Spec night vision let’s eCh person see all the stuff that is floating by and far away. I would say this is more fun than a purely scientific talk an astronomy.

His astronomical and navigation knowledge is amazing and we learned so much there as well. Very well worth it and planning on doing it again next time we visit!

Star gazing Joshua Tree
This tour was super awesome! Our host Tony is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his love for the stars. I loved this tour because of all the knowledge Tony had about this history of our starry skies and how ancient/native cultures used the night skies to guide them through life. They provided comfortable chairs and snacks. The night time goggles and cameras he used were so mind blowing. Molly and Tony communicated very clearly the directions for the viewing and what to expect. They were kind enough to even email us prior to see if there were anything special that we wanted to learn about the stars. Tony and Molly have a great balance of the spiritual wealth of star knowledge as well as the scientific aspect of it. They also gave us a rad picture at the end of the tour. We will never forget this experience. Thank you so much Molly and Tony. We absolutely loved our tour.

A Truly Amazing Once in a Life Time Experience!
Had an amazing experience working with Tony and thorough assistance of his wife, Molli. He accommodated the unique needs for our tour for a couples star-gazing elopement experience, and went above and beyond with set up and accommodations throughout. This is a 100% must do experience for a romantic date or just to get to know the stars and what’s out there while having fun! Tony uses military grade equipment that allows for a truly unique & once in a lifetime experience.

An amazing, unforgettable stargazing experience
This stargazing experience was a perfect addition to our Element of Air retreat in Joshua Tree. Everything that Tony brought to the group and our tour was in alignment with the theme of our retreat! It was a breathwork retreat and Tony even invited us to engage in the breath a bit during our tour. Tony’s knowledge and storytelling ability exceeded what we expected. It was such a beautiful, powerful evening spent under the stars with our group. Not one of us 11 individuals will ever see the night sky the same again! We are changed and in such a powerful way!!Thank you so much Tony and Molli for hosting our group!!

This was a wonderful experience! We went for a birthday celebration for an astronomy enthusiast.

We particularly enjoyed using the military goggles and learning about indigenous storylines/traditions from non-Western cultures.Tony and Molli were both so kind and welcoming. Their directions were easy to follow, they had timely responses, and a quick turnaround on the COOLEST picture ever.We definitely want to come back. A birthday experience to remember. Highly recommend!

Stargazing like you have never done before in beautiful Joshua tree National park
This was a very unique experience which is not to be missed. The night sky in Joshua tree is truly magnificent. We met at the arch rock trailhead inside the park. Tony had a great set up for us with two infinity chairs that allowed us to recline comfortably while viewing the most beautiful night sky we have ever seen. It was chilly outside but he provided blankets for our comfort. It is hard not to be blown away by his knowledge and enthusiasm for the stars. He told us countless stories about indigenous peoples and how they used the night sky to navigate and for so much more. We got to use the night vision goggles which allows you to see so much more than you can with the naked eye. Remember to dress very warmly as this will enhance your experience. Thank you tony for giving us a once in a lifetime experience!

A bucket list must!!
This dark sky night tour with Tony was probably one of the best and most amazing experiences of my life!! I have been wanting to see a dark sky now for sometime, so my husband got us a trip to the dark park at Joshua Tree for my birthday and we signed up to do this tour. We were blown away at the equipment we got to use. Tony provided us with night vision binoculars. What an experience!! So many stars to see, it’s unreal. We even saw the Andromeda Galaxy! He had massive binoculars too, a telescope to see nebulas, virtual reality googles, and amazing stories of the ancients. I really loved learning about the all the knowledge he had to share about the relationships of different cultures and the relationships they had with the stars over the millennia. Tony was so kind to send us some tricked out pictures of our evening too. What a pleasant surprise! This tour has to be put on your bucket list!!🌠

Impromptu birthday trip to Palm Springs for my wife’s birthday turned into an amazing and enlightening experience under the stars. We spent the evening with Tony (addicted2wonder) learning about our universe beyond. Our tour started at 8 PM but we arrive 45 minute early (blame my fear of traffic). Tony (our guide) arrived about 5 minutes after and the fun began. While he set up, he shared some wonderful history of the stars and what we could expect once the sun set (which is not a thing people). Yes the sun is doesn’t move. I was today years old when I learned the about light pollution. We saw Jupiter and mapped her movement through the night sky. We glanced at Saturn and viewed several nebulas. We can’t forget the tons of shooting stars. Tony’s way of sharing the wonders of night sky will inspire you to continue educating yourself about the universe and how indigenous people across the globe used the night sky. 90 minutes felt like hours. We are losing the night sky people!!!! So I recommend you take a trip out to Joshua Tree and spend an amazing evening with Tony and Addicted2Wonder. Thanks to Courtney W for paying it forward and sharing her stargazing experience. Wonder Junkies Unite!!!

We are all Stardust!
A thoughtful and fact-filled evening with Tony, a knowledgable and friendly guide to the stars with his own unique history and love of travel. Tony’s approach goes beyond science and encompasses a greater and holistic understanding with our relationship to the cosmos and our role in it. We especially loved Tony’s deep understanding of how indigenous peoples around the world guided their lives and cultures by the stars. The addition of high tech night vision binoculars, high powered telescope and photography highlights an already enlightening experience!Don’t pass on this opportunity!

Wonderful Night!
Our family of 6 met with Tony for Stargazing in Joshua Tree in Aug 2022. Wonderful experience, Tony is extremely knowledgeable and we left with a greater appreciation than I could have expected. We got to use some very fancy equipment but understanding the stars from the native indians perspective was something very special. Also also learning about the effects of light pollution – I thought I knew about light pollution, turns out there is a lot to learn! He was wonderful with the kids ages 15,14,13, and 10yrs old. His passion is very evident – I highly recommend this company.

WHAT AN AMAZING NIGHT IN THE DESERT UNDER THE STARS! I booked a stargazing experience in Joshua Tree National Park. I got lucky and had my guide Tony all to myself. We got started at 7:45 PM when the sun was about to settle down on our corner of the planet Earth – which is an INSIGNIFICANT member of the Milky Way Galaxy. For the next 2 hours, I was the lucky passenger on a journey that ultimately changed my life. I got to see the stars, many shooting, in a sky spared from light pollution, but when I saw a METEOR, I cried! And YES, I saw the Milky Way Galactic Core!! It is a living, pulsating mass that BLEW MY MIND into a billion specks of dust! I even saw the International Space Station in orbit as well as the US military and Elon Musk’s satellites with my naked eyes. But the magic happened when Tony handed me a pair of night vision binoculars. OH MYUNIVERSE!!! I was transported back 1000s of years to a time before electricity took away our ability to see the night sky like our ancestors did – BILLIONS UPON BILLIONS OF STARS! What a life-altering, transformative experience and one that I will remember fondly for the rest of my life until once again, I become STARDUST! I am a WONDER JUNKIE!

A very memorable experience
If you are looking for a personalized tour of the sky with a very knowledgeable individual, then this is your tour. You will not look at the stars the same again. I learned so much from Tony. A very memorable experience. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and is curious about the participant’s knowledge and interests as well. In addition, there will be some amazing photo souvenirs of the evening as well. There is also very high tech equipment to help you access the stars and their secrets beyond the naked eye.

Let Tony Show You the Stars!
This experience is worth every penny and should be a required activity if you are going to spend any time in Joshua Tree. My sister and I take a vacation every year and this August we chose Joshua Tree National Park and decided to do some stargazing. Tony was an amazing guide and ambassador to the night skies. His infectious enthusiasm, knowledge and warm personality made this experience memorable. You can tailor the focus of his teachings by letting him know what you are interested in. I asked him to emphasize how the ancients used the stars for navigation, philosophy and ceremony. The result was a newfound respect for the Milky Way and Constellations, and an improved ability to find them! Getting to use the military grade equipment was super fun. All the photographs you get in the form of texts after the session are great reminders of all the beautiful things you saw. If you have ANY interest in the stars, this activity is a MUST. You’ll realize how small you are compared to the wonders of the universe. Sign up for this adventure. You won’t regret it!

Magical. Do not miss the opportunity to do this.
Easily one of the best things we’ve ever done as a family. Tony felt like an old friend. His knowledge of the stars and the night sky was incredible and his abilities as a storyteller were magical. He lifted the stars off the page and brought them to life in the most wonderful way. We came to Joshua Tree to experience dark skies, and we will leave feeling connected to the universe in a way we never have before. Thanks once again to Tony – a genuinely once in a lifetime experience.

Incredible Dark Sky Park experience for stargazing and learning about our universe!!
We loved everything about this tour! Tony was extremely knowledgable and a fascinating storyteller. He was able to tell us about the stars and the universe in a way we could (mostly!) understand. The night vision goggles were so great to use! We could see so many stars, most of which are not visible to the naked eye. We learned about various native cultures and their relationship with the stars, and how it relates to us today. All in all, this was an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone. As a side note, I went with my sister and our mom, who walks with a cane. Mom was able to fully participate as the chairs were set up just next to the parking lot at the trailhead. Tony was ever mindful of her and we all loved it. Best part was the amazing long-exposure photo of us gazing at the Milky Way!

Amazing Cosmic Experience
If you’re looking for a magical stargazing experience, this is it. We had the most amazing evening under the starry skies of the universe while looking into the core of Milky Way with Tony as our guide. While Tony shares his vast knowledge of the cosmic landscape, he thinks of everying to enhance your experience – seating, water, the most amazing tools for optimal viewing pleasure and great photos to remember it all by. Just fantastic. We will do this tour again.

Breathtaking experience! 10/10
We traveled all around CA and this was the most memorable experience of the whole trip. Truly a breathtaking experience. Like nothing you’ll see or learn anywhere else! Not only did Tony know everything there was to know about the stars and answer every one of our questions in great detail, he shared stories and teaching from other cultures about life and our world… unforgettable. If you’re on the fence, book it! You won’t regret it. (+ he took this awesome photo of us with the Milky Way as a souvenir!)

I could not be more thankful that we found Tony and Molli to help my daughter’s 17th birthday wish come true and even more then I expected. The experience is beyond words, and a must do for sure experience! Tony had such a positive attitude and was so knowledgeable making everything so fun for my daughter and her friends. All the equipment provided and the comfy chairs added to this amazing experience. You will NOT be disappointed! Thank you again Tony and Molli.

Prepare for wonder!
Tony and Molly’s tour is nothing short of dazzling. Tony met us just inside the Joshua Tree National Park entrance with comfy chairs, snacks, water, blankets, and a small fortune in difficult to acquire night-vision equipment. My partner and I are both introverts and on the shy side, so we were a little nervous going in, unsure what to expect. Tony’s energy and passion for the stars quickly put us at ease. He’s very open and excited to engage, and bursting with so much knowledge about both the science and stories of the sky. Tony was also so generous with his time, lingering a couple hours after the tour ended to let us use his binoculars a little longer and to philosophize. My mind was spinning by the end. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this tour and to have met Tony. If you’re open to it, your perspective may shift and you’ll have a deeper relationship to the stars.

Best Stargzing in Joshua Tree!
We had an amazing stargazing tour in Joshua Tree with Tony! He greeted us warmly and kept us mesmerized, using great technology as well as with his knowledge of the stories and traditions of native people from around the world. The location was perfect. We arrived early and drove through the park to explore, then headed back to the meeting point where Tony had chairs, a light snack and water for each of us. We drove back to our hotel inspired, and feeling a deeper connection to our ancestors…seeing the stars the way they did….with a desire to re-discover our place in the universe. The following morning we received a text with photos of some of the amazing sights we saw the night before. It was an added bonus! This tour was one of the highlights of our visit to the Palm Springs area!

Absolutely incredible one of a kind , once in our lifetime as we know it, experience
A truly exceptional experience, full of awe inspiring moments. Tony is an incredibly intelligent star expert, a genius presenter and truly one of a kind. I enjoyed what feels like a once in a lifetime experience full of outstanding information and rarely find myself wanting to have the same experience twice, but am full of wonder and look forward to having many more addicted 2 wonder experiences with Tony. Huge thanks for creating a rare memorable experience!

Tony is a wealth of knowledge! His incredible energy, interesting stories, explanations of children’s rhymes, and cultural history breaks down exactly what we are looking at in the night sky.

Pink Moon visit
Tony has a wealth of knowledge about the stars, legends about them, and the relationship of people to the stars. My daughter and I were fascinated by his stories. The gadgets–binoculars & night vision–were really fun and exciting to use & experience. Tony kept us engaged and asking questions the whole time we were with him. I would do this again!!

Enthusiastic, Passionate, and Knowledgeable
Tony and Molli’s stargazing tour is the perfect experience from beginning to end. They are available to talk to before the tour so you know what to expect. I was kept up to date with the meeting time and location. Tony was the best guide for my basic level of knowledge. He was able to give me so much information in the time we spent together-answering all of my questions with much enthusiasm. Tony’s passion for the universe is evident and contagious. I have “caught the bug” and intend to become more knowledgeable about the universe and plan more future tours!

Engaging and Informative
My family (boys (11 and 14) and my husband and I) all enjoyed this experience. The night sky was beautiful and it was incredible to look at it through Tony’s night vision goggles. Tony told interesting stories that brought stargazing to life.It gets chilly in the desert at night, so bring something warm (though Tony had some extra blankets, so we were comfortable even though we didn’t come prepared).

Take your partners/friends here
Tony was absolutely a pool of knowledge and made the night very special. Albeit I remember roughly half of what he said what he helped me understand will remain forever. Me and my girlfriend went here our first stay in Joshua tree and it wasn’t anything I was expecting. It was a night to remember and I will always look at the sky differently.

Fun for all ages
We had an awesome time with Tony and Molli! When we reached out they were super responsive and willing to schedule our group of 8 for the following evening. It ended up being a private tour and they had different, engaging activities for our kids (4-10 yrs) and the adults. Fun tech and great education / stories. Kids and parents both loved it – fantastic addition to a visit to Joshua Tree!

MUST DO when in Joshua Tree!!
Wow. Simply, WOW.I had the most amazing time last night learning about the stars with Tony! Not only are all the gadgets he brought super cool, but what was even more amazing was the knowledge and enthusiasm he brought with him. The night-vision binoculars were BONKERS but I would’ve probably enjoyed just looking at the stars with my naked eyes and listening to him talk just as much!! Honestly, this experience was just what I was looking for, coming to Joshua Tree. Tony taught me all about the mythology, science, history and mystery surrounding our stars and planets, and even showed me how to always find the North Star anywhere I am! His knowledge and enthusiasm opened up for me a whole new world of wonder and reverence not only for the stars, but the knowledge and wisdom of all the Indigenous Peoples that came before us. Our ancestors were so much more sophisticated than we ever give them credit for. It was an honor to be reminded not only of the miracle of being alive, but how insignificant we actually are. An absolute must-do if you want to be in awe of life again.Just be careful- you’ll definitely leave a Wonder Junkie!!!!

An Enthralling Connection and Oneness with our Universe !
Thank you so much Tony for a life time experience with you. I felt blessed to have guided by you and experience the best 90 minutes of my life !! Tony connected me with the universe and helped “know” the vastness we are in the midst of. A humbling and enthralling experience. Saw almost 40+ shooting stars , Jupiter and its moons, Saturn , Venus, several constellations, Andromeda Galaxy, Nebula. Learnt how to view our milky way through the multitude of perspectives which Tony introduced from multiple dimensions. Felt like spending the entire night with him and learn the wonders of I recommend a star gazing session with Tony and Molly when you are in Sedona. You just cannot miss it.

WOW! Seeing Stars Was Never More Fun!
We ventured to Jerome Arizona to lose ourself in it’s history and catch a few ghosts, but ended up stumbling upon a little shop on the highway through town – Addicted2Wonder. We met Molli and Tony who were taking reservations for that evenings Stargazing adventure. So glad we did! We had the best time with them learning about the Cosmos – Tony’s knowledge of the galaxy was seriously WOW. This was a great date night for me and my husband, but we plan on bringing back our kids to do the tour as well knowing how much we learned, they will love it too. Also want to come back for a UFO Tour.
