Private Dark Sky Boschplaat Covered Wagon Tour

Duration
1.5 hours
Start/end:
Puur Terschelling, at Oosterend 39

Experience an impressive evening with your own group. We provide a private horse-drawn cart journey to the Dark Sky Park de Boschplaat, guided by a Puur astronomer. You travel through the darkness, far away from all the hustle and bustle, to one of the darkest places in the Netherlands. De Boschplaat holds the prestigious Dark Sky designation, which means you can enjoy a dark (starry) night without light pollution.

The pure air and silence of nature complete the experience. To conclude, you receive a personal presentation. Our Puur astronomer points out planets, constellations and other celestial bodies. Admire the endless cosmos in complete tranquillity. An evening you won't forget in a hurry!
