Traveler reviews
Excellent guide!
Sabrina was an excellent guide. She brought extra tripods and showed participants (there were 8 of us) how to set up the tripods as well as our iphones. I liked what I was getting with my iphone, I stopped using my Mirrorless Sony! The information she shared about Navajo customs and stars was very interesting. She ended the night beautifully singing a traditional Navajo song. 10 stars!
More stars than you can imagine
If you're looking to get out and learn a little about native traditions and astro photography (Cell Phone and Camera) this tour is terrific. I had a great night with the women who brought us into Monument Valley. They are knowledgeable and entertaining (especially Donna (sp?) It was so much fun.
Stargazing with Comasheena
We did the Stargazing Tour with Comasheena. It was absolutely breathtaking. Every participant knew how to photograph perfect starry skies after the tour - whether with their mobile phone or camera. She had tripods with her and delighted us with many insights into her Navajo personal life today and as a child. I think it's the most expensive tour, but definitely worth every penny. You learn something for eternity and have the chance to be in Monument Valley in the middle of the night, which is not possible. Absolutely stunning and mystical.
Unfortunate weather, classy outfit.
We really appreciated the fact they allowed us to cancel last minute due to horrible weather conditions. With a full refund. Classy outfit.
Yes! Do this tour!
Tour leaves from the View hotel. Our guide Sabrina was wonderful. The park is DARK at night. Most new cell phones can take great pics with the right settings. Do some research ahead so you can set your phone. Sabrina set up my phone and I took some amazing pics with my cell, better than others on the tour with expensive star gazing gear. This remains one of my favorite experiences
