In an age where most people live in cities, where most nights are illuminated by artificial lighting and the glow of nearby homes, it can be nice to step away and let the only light above you be the natural kind.
That’s probably part of the reason that astronomy and stargazing tours are soaring in popularity across the world. And while there are plenty of “traditional” stargazing tours available — the kind where you head to a dark area for a few hours and use telescopes to watch the stars — there are also plenty of more unique ways to stare at the sky. That includes everything from stargazing tours focused on legends and myths to active tours where you can hike or kayak beneath a shimmering sky.
