Join us for an unforgettable stargazing adventure.

Nestled in the heart of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, our skies offer exceptional conditions to experience the night sky like never before. From sparkling star clusters to distant planets, you’ll see more, journey further, and deepen your understanding of the universe above.

Moon phases & stargazing

Our outdoor stargazing experiences run in all phases of the moon. During brighter moon phases, some stars may be less visible; however, the moon itself can be a spectacular object to observe in stunning detail through our telescopes. If you’d like to check the moon phase for your visit, we recommend moon phases.
