  • Discover the wonders of the night sky on a stargazing experience. Be whisked away to super dark stargazing locations, with some of the lowest light pollution in Tekapo, at the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve.

    Get access to powerful 14” telescopes for views of various deep space objects and special astro-lasers for easy viewing of stars and constellations. With the tour size capped at 10 people, enjoy a small ratio of telescopes to guests and get plenty of time on the telescopes and with the guide.

    At the end of your journey, get a photo taken of your group under the stars (depending on the weather), which you will receive within 48 hours via email to share with your family and friends.
