Nighttime fluorescent rockhounding tour in Bisbee

This two-hour guided tour takes place in Bisbee after sunset, where the desert transforms into a glowing landscape under ultraviolet light. Using professional-grade UV lights provided by the guide, participants will uncover fluorescent minerals that come alive in vibrant colours like reds, greens, blues, and oranges. No prior experience is required, making it suitable for families, rock enthusiasts, and curious explorers.

As you walk through the desert, each step reveals something new; what appears as a plain rock in daylight turns into a surprising neon display at night. The tour allows you to learn about the science behind fluorescence, and you'll be able to take home some of the minerals you find, with bags provided for your treasures. Dress for the desert conditions and be prepared for an evening of exploration.
