Nova Scotia Stargazing | Dark Sky Preserves & Night Sky Tours

Experience the starry night sky like never before in Nova Scotia

Nova Scotia is home to some of the darkest and clearest skies in North America and two official Dark Sky areas. Whether you’re looking to stargaze in the Acadian Skies & Mi’kmaq Lands Starlight Preserve, the first destination in North America to receive a Starlight certification by the Starlight Foundation, discover the brilliant night sky from within the Dark Sky Preserve, or to sleep under the stars in a geodesic dome on the ocean’s edge, you’ll be amazed at the celestial beauty overhead in Nova Scotia!
