Enjoy our Star gazing Tour where we show you the most striking objects in the southern sky by means of a powerful telescope. Depending on visibility, you will be amazed by the gas planet Jupiter with its moons, the rings of Saturn or the bizarre crater landscape of our moon. Star gazing Tours (by night - after dinner) and Observatory Tours (by day) are done by prior arrangement.
We also offer Sun observations through a specialised telescope by day! You can look at the glowing sun disc, our nearest star, with its solar prominences: these are flares of fire some 40 000 km high and visible at the edge of the sun.
We also offer:
• 4×4 Farm Tours - a highlight on Hakos – through rugged terrain where you may spot wildlife such as mountain zebra, oryx, kudu or baboons and wonderful views over the mountainous countryside of the Great Western Escarpment (by prior arrangement).
• Walking and hiking opportunities for various fitness levels and range of interests or simply to explore the area. The Planet Walk allows even non-astronomically orientated visitors a well-rounded introduction to astronomy. The Landscape Interpretation Trail with info booklet gives you a background to the farming operation.
• Sundowner Tour in a magnificent landscape (by prior arrangement).
• Indoor swimming pool.
