Our stargazing site is about 100 metres away from its carpark, on a grassy and slightly uneven surface.
Experience Akaroa's truly pristine dark skies, far from city lights, for an intimate journey into the Southern Skies wonders. Join Luca, our passionate astronomer, who brings the cosmos to life, guiding you through constellations, planets, and galaxies.
Witness the universe through two powerful telescopes: a 10-inch Dobsonian for stunning visual details, and a ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope for live astrophotography of nebulae and deep-sky objects. Take home unique digital photo souvenirs: instant astrophotos captured live with our smart telescope, plus a personalized digital souvenir photo of you under the night sky, sent the next day. Enjoy complimentary hot drink and cosy blankets. Our small group size ensures a personalised experience.
