Dark Sky Project invites you to explore the wonders of the universe from the heart of Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve. Located in Takapō (Tekapo), this innovative astro-tourism experience offers unparalleled stargazing opportunities under some of the clearest skies in the world. The Dark Sky Project combines tātai arorangi (Māori astronomy) with modern astronomy providing visitors with a unique experience that will change how manuhiri (visitors) see the night sky.
Guided tours feature an exclusive mountaintop location, state-of-the-art telescopes and expert storytelling connecting manuhiri to the Southern skies. Every night sky reveals something new – solar systems, constellations and even a glimpse of a distant galaxy.
