UPCOMING TOUR PROGRAMS
Dark Sky Traveller offers a unique and personalised approach to exploration, with each tour designed to highlight the scientific marvels and natural beauty of the destination. Founded by Marnie Ogg in 2006, the company specialises in bespoke journeys tailored not only to the scientific significance of each location but also to the desires and interests of the group.
What sets Dark Sky Traveller apart is its focus on the unexpected. Each tour allows for spontaneous moments of discovery—whether it’s an impromptu visit to a hidden observatory or a chance encounter with local scientists. These unplanned experiences often become the most memorable highlights, offering travellers the opportunity to engage with their surroundings in a deeper, more meaningful way.
Marnie’s ethos emphasises working with local operators, supporting small suppliers, and getting off the beaten track to explore scientific institutions and secluded natural sites. Each trip fosters a sense of connection not just to the destination but to fellow travelers, turning shared adventures into lasting memories.
"We may start together as strangers, but we leave closer than family, having shared experiences no one else will ever truly understand."
