About This Experience

Private stargazing tour from Queenstown, for your group only (up to 4 people). Duration is about two hours, with pickup from your accommodation.

Your guide Simon holds a BSc (Hons) in Physics with Astrophysics and shares Māori astronomy whilst guiding you through the southern sky. You'll use binoculars, laser pointers and a Unistellar telescope that shows nebulae and galaxies live on a screen.

Astro portraits of your group under the Southern Night Sky are included, plus a curated set of edited images delivered the next day, including images from the telescope. Hot chocolate and cookies are provided.

Weather dependent. If conditions aren't suitable we will reschedule with you. Aurora sightings are possible but never guaranteed.

Operated under DOC concessions. Qualmark Silver operator.

Tour Itinerary

1h 30m

We hold Department of Conservation permission to access Dark Skies close to and/or within the Wakatipu Basin /Queenstown /Tahuna area. We particularly love to take our visits into the Mountains often snowy in Wintertime , with ease of access and down alongside Lake Wakatipu. We try our best to use bespoke locations planned for your needs or group wishes. We also have the ability to add in a Day into Night Tour and Authentic As Queenstown to this Starry Night Package so we can add in multiple locations.
