More About the Dark Sky Guides

Dark Sky Guides Ltd. is owned and operated by the four Robinson Brothers, who were lucky to grow up in Waterton Lakes National Park. Over the years they explored all areas of the National Park, both in daylight and after dark. As third-generation tourism service providers, sharing Waterton Park’s rich human- and natural history has always been a part of their lives. It has been a real roller coaster ride since starting the business over five years ago, but the Dark Sky Guides now begin their 6th year in business stronger than ever, and are bursting with excitement to share their home with you!

Between the four of them, the Robinson Brothers officially have over 50 years of experience acting as tour guides in Waterton Lakes National Park. And over the years, the brothers have traveled to many destinations around the world, picking up best practices from other tour guides and companies across the planet.

Dark Sky Guides offer small, personalized tours that will open your eyes to a completely new area of Waterton Lakes National Park – the night sky above. The brothers hope to encourage every single tour participant to connect on a personal level with the National Park, in their own particular way.
