Kaikōura & Canterbury · New Zealand
We host you under the spectacular dark skies of Kaikōura for a night of magic. Our guides bring years of exploring the region — finding the finest compositions and darkest skies — so you experience something truly special.
Whether you want to simply lie back and drink in the stars, hear the stories of our land and sky, or learn to photograph the Milky Way yourself, we have a tour for you.
Enjoy the stars and stories of our land and sky in the comfort of a chair and blanket. Refreshments included, plus a star photo selfie to take home. We take you to our favourite spots — found through years of exploring and finding awesome compositions across the Kaikōura region.
A magical blend of food, warmth and the night sky. Enjoy kai and refreshments in the open air under a blanket of stars while your guides share the stories of our land, sky, and the Māori view of the cosmos. An intimate and unforgettable experience for couples and small groups.
Learn the principles of astrophotography and the techniques to capture epic night images — personal coaching with your own camera. We'll also take night sky images to share with you by email afterwards, yours to keep and print. Gear hire available on request prior to the tour.
