Kaikōura’s dark skies are among New Zealand’s most dramatic — where mountains meet the Pacific and the Milky Way fills the horizon. Owner Rachel Gillespie and our teams of guides know exactly where to take you, so your night under the stars is nothing short of extraordinary. Your tour consists of a night of storytelling, wonder and stargazing - spotting constellations with the naked eye, laser pointer, and telescope on some tours. Chairs, blankets and refreshments are included, plus a star photo to take home or get involved and bring your camera and make your own night sky photos, small groups or private picnic options available. 4 Tour options - 10 years experience - Qualmark Silver.
