Our Passion for the Stars
Exploring the cosmos, one journey at a time.
The Orion Escapes Story
Orion Escapes was born from a profound love for the night sky and a desire to share its breathtaking wonders with the world. Our founder, Dr. Anya Sharma, an astrophysicist and passionate adventurer, envisioned a way to combine luxurious travel with authentic astronomical exploration.
Driven by the unparalleled beauty of remote dark-sky locations and the magic of celestial events, Orion Escapes curates voyages that are not just trips, but transformative experiences. We believe that everyone deserves to gaze upon the Milky Way without light pollution, witness meteor showers in their full glory, and understand the universe a little better.
Our roots run deep in Coonabarabran, Australia, famously known as the 'Astronomy Capital' due to its exceptional dark skies and world-class observatories. This unique location inspires our commitment to dark sky preservation and sustainable tourism, ensuring these cosmic spectacles can be enjoyed for generations to come. Join us, and embark on your own celestial odyssey.
