Earth & Sky Stargazing and Observatory Tours

Spend the evening discovering what the southern sky has to offer, and experience the thrill of looking deep into the cosmos with Earth and Sky's powerful telescopes.

Earth and Sky have two locations around Lake Tekapo dedicated to star gazing and stellar observations. View some of the best skies in the world from within Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the largest Dark Sky Reserve in the world. The highly enthusiastic guides will tour you through the southern night skies sharing from their vast well of knowledge on subjects from the basics of astronomy to some of the more mind boggling science of outer space.

With the options of Cowan’s Observatory and the University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory there are options for all. For those who are not the night owl type, Mt John is open during the day hosting the Astro-Café, where the views themselves need no introduction.
