Stargazing Tour (Twizel/Ben Ohau)
Private Stargazing Tour information
Gather your friends or family and enjoy your own private stargazing tour from your Billion-Star accommodation in Twizel, Ohau and the wider Mackenzie region, with the only fully mobile astronomy tour provider in the district.
Avoid the crowds and experience something truly special by booking an astronomy experience that comes to you.
Wrap up warm and prepare to scope out the night sky with the use of a laser and a high-powered telescope.
You'll take a look at some of the most fascinating stars and deep sky objects in the southern night sky, both inside and outside of our Milky-Way Galaxy without the hassle of having to leave your property.
Be amazed by the science, history and behind astronomy. Learn how to navigate at night by using the stars.
Get up close to glittering star clusters and glowing Nebulae, and marvel at the Milky Way Galaxy under some of the world’s purest night skies, within Aoraki Mackenzie international dark sky reserve.
Last but not least you’ll be given the opportunity to pose for an Astro-portrait photo of yourself or your group, underneath the starry sky to take as a souvenir of your stargazing experience.
The tour is delivered by a friendly, knowledgeable and passionate Kiwi astronomy guide, with all astronomy equipment provided.
