Witness the Overview Effect

Ascend to an altitude of 25 kilometres, far above commercial airliners, where the Earth’s spherical curve and the infinite expanse of space become a tangible reality. This altitude allows you to witness the "Overview Effect," an awe-inspiring phenomenon described by astronauts as a profound emotional connection to the planet's beauty and fragility.

Spend three hours at peak altitude, gazing at the star-studded sky and Earth’s glowing atmosphere. The unparalleled silence and tranquillity create an environment for reflection, ensuring this journey is as transformative as it is exhilarating.
