Dark Sky Project - Summit Experience
New Zealand’s premier stargazing experience. Our expert guides share the science and stories of the southern skies at a range of locations including the world-renowned University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory. High atop Ōtehīwai Mount John’s 1,029 metre peak, you'll be at the heart of the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve. Our guides take you deep into the cosmos, sharing with you what it all means, and why it matters. You’ll never see it the same away again. You’ll start by looking at the stars with the naked eye, as our guides point out the sights with handheld lasers. It’s a great way to develop those stargazing skills for when you’re back home. Then you’ll dive deeper, with full use of our high-powered telescopes. That includes the impressive 16” telescope in our private observatory dome. Every night sky reveals something new. The incredible Milky Way. Far-off planets. Star clusters, solar systems and constellations. Business hours: Monday - Sunday, 9:00am - Late Months of operation: All months of the year
