During a 90 minute guided tour, enjoy a fascinating astronomy experience with fellow night sky enthusiasts (up to 14 people).  

Your professional astronomy guide will navigate you through the night sky and show deep sky objects through a powerful 9.25-inch telescope and a digital telescope.

From a Lake Teakpo stargazing location where there is nearly zero light pollution, experience an astronomy journey, from ancient stories of constellations to science facts, from Greek mythology to Maori legends.  

Tour Includes:
  • Private access to a powerful smart telescope eVscope 2.  It delivers the most stunning visual experience ever seen in a consumer market with state of the art observing comfort, and an incredible amount of detail, definition and zoom ability.
  • Access to a 9.25” telescope which is the same size as the one Stephen Hawking had at his home.
  • A photo can be taken of you beneath the beautiful dark starry sky - edited and sent to you.
  • Outdoor furniture and blankets will be set up to enjoy the night sky comfortably.
