The Southern Skies Star Gazing tour takes you out to the Otago Peninsula on a journey of discovery to learn about the unique celestial features of the Southern sky, while also sharing stories and waiata (songs) about how Māori viewed the night sky. 

The Otago peninsula coastline provides a clear and breath-taking view of the night sky, along with a magical backdrop of coastal bird calls echoing across Hoopers inlet. In the right conditions, this rural coastal area is a prime viewing location for the Southern Lights, Aurora Australis 

Enjoy Māori manaakitanga (hospitality) with a light supper and hot beverage.  Sit back, relax and be enchanted.

Departs Dunedin 8PM (October to March) and 6PM (April to September)
