Immerse yourself in the southern skies and see deep into the night sky on an ultimate mountaintop stargazing tour in New Zealand at the world-renowned astronomical center, UC Mt. John Observatory.
Meet your guide at the Dark Sky Project base in Lake Tekapo, and be transported by our shuttle to Mount John, where Dark Sky Project has exclusive access.
Join us on the Summit Experience for an incredible journey to the stars. High atop Mount John’s 1,029- metre peak, you'll be at the heart of the world’s largest International Dark Sky Reserve. Let our skilled guides open your eyes to the Southern night sky with captivating tales and facts. A truly breathtaking experience, our expert astronomy guides will introduce you to the Southern Skies, imparting their impressive knowledge as you gaze through sophisticated optical telescopes. 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, constellations. You might even glimpse a distant galaxy.
