Overview

Delve into the rich tapestry of Māori and Polynesian astronomy with our engaging evening tour at Stonehenge Aotearoa. While the sacred time for observing Matariki (the Pleiades) traditionally occurs with its early morning rising, these same stars grace the evening sky in November. This presents a unique opportunity for those seeking to explore the cosmos in a comfortable, warm setting as the night sky darkens.

Our tour begins as the sky transitions from twilight to night, creating an ideal environment for stargazing. Guided by knowledgeable astronomers, you will embark on a journey through ancient legends and the physical nature of the stars. This is a time of learning and understanding, where the mysteries of the heavens unfold through captivating stories and scientific insights.This tour provides a perfect blend of mythology and astronomy, making it suitable for all ages and interests.
