Earth Sanctuary World Nature Centre

What an incredible experience! The Earth Sanctuary astronomy tour was the perfect mix of education and awe. The guides were passionate, knowledgeable, and made the night sky come alive with their storytelling and laser-guided tour of the stars. We got to look through telescopes at Saturn and the Moon – absolutely breathtaking. The setting under the clear desert sky felt magical and gave us a real sense of connection to the universe. Highly recommend this tour for families, visitors, or anyone curious about the cosmos – a must-do in Alice Springs!

Great experience in the outback. The owners and staff were amazing and helpful, they made you feel so welcome. Dinner was delicious. I loved the whole experience. Learning about our southern skies was fascinating. They also do an overnight stay which I would love to do in the future. Come on a night when there is little moon will give you the best chance to see all the stars, you won’t be disappointed.

Want to experience something out of this world visit the Earth Sanctuary just outside Alice Springs in the NT. My family and I were blown away seeing planets from the telescopes as if we could just reach out and touch them. Tom, Dan and their Father Joey are the perfect teachers of the stars and universe. We were blessed to be able to camp at the sanctuary. Showers and toilets clean and with no light pollution you can lay in your swag and just look up at the night sky and count falling stars. Beautiful & quiet.

If you’re from the southern hemisphere and seen the night sky in a dark sky reserve - you won’t be wowed. Telescope was only of a power an enthusiast would have at home. Talk was for people who have no basic understanding of southern hemisphere skies. Good effort but maybe should have a night for people with more than a middle school understanding of the southern hemisphere sky.

If you love animals - especially our special native Kangaroos. If you love rescuing animals that have been separated from their mothers and giving them a chance to live. If you would like the chance to get up close with these animals, learn about their lives and cuddle a baby kangaroo (joey), then this is a must visit. Seeing the smiles and excitement in kids (big and small) was totally infectious. This wonderful experience and a tour of the sanctuary is under the guidance of loveable man named Brolga who owns the sanctuary and is so passionate about rescuing our kangaroos. Look him up on the internet. Thank you for a wonderful time.

10/10 evening. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a unique desert experience with passionate locals. Great food, wonderful story tellers, incredible setting and amazing night skies 💫
