One of the most amazing experiences I have had was spending time working on a US Navy ship in the south Pacific. The ship would steam at night with no external illumination. It was the darkest place I've ever been. I spent as much time as I could manage outside. The night sky was extraordinary, and I often wish I could experience a view like that again.

For me the darkest place I have ever been to was Abbey Caves in New Zealand. But I think almost any cave would work. Obviously, you can see no sky from there though.

But still... The darkness there was surreal. It was thick and you could almost feel it with your skin. And all your senses go crazy.

One of the best and bizarre experiences I have ever had. Would definitely recommend (however, be careful with caves!).
