Culture and Heritage For Kids Stargazing We are the closest dark sky experience to Christchurch, just a 90-minute scenic drive away! Escape the city lights and discover a cosmic wonder in Akaroa, offering New Zealand's most intimate and technologically advanced astronomy tours. Our location on the Banks Peninsula provides an exceptionally pristine dark-sky environment, granting a breathtaking view of the Southern Hemisphere’s stars, the spectacular Milky Way, and distant galaxies. We offer unique tours for every curiosity, from the daytime Solar Explorer, where you safely observe the Sun's activity through specialized telescopes, to our best-seller Night Awe experience, a dedicated deep-sky stargazing journey. What truly sets us apart is our dual-telescope system and unique digital keepsakes. You'll explore the cosmos through both a powerful 10-inch Dobsonian for stunning visual depth and a ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope for live astrophotography. This means you receive two incredible souvenirs: instant digital photos of nebulae captured live during your tour, plus a beautiful personalized photo of you under the starry Akaroa night sky. Every tour is led by an expert astronomer in a small-group setting, ensuring personalized guidance and ample time for discovery. We also provide cozy amenities like hot drinks and blankets for maximum comfort. Choose us for an unforgettable, educational, and comfortable journey to the stars—the perfect addition to your Christchurch itinerary!
