Overview

Manuka Skies is a truely unique stargazing location. With minimal light pollution, and in a setting of native forest and wildlife, you will be visiting a sanctuary for both astronomy and wildlife alike.

As you explore the heavens with our range of equipment, relax to the sound of our spring fed stream flowing down the mountain. Listen out for our native Morepork Owls that nest in the area.

Manuka Skies acts as Kaitiaki for the sanctuary. Meaning we are it's guardians responsible for caring for her. Our vision is to re-connect the sky back to the earth through our forests.

Activity itinerary

Join us for an evening under the stars. Our guides will take you on a tour first using the naked eye, where we discuss different stars and constellations such as the Southern Cross as you learn to navigate the night sky. Get up close with our quality Celestron electronically guided telescope. This scope is great for looking at deep sky objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye, such as the Omega Cluster, or Sombrero Galaxy. We also have our range of manual telescopes which are great for a free roam experience. Our astro binoculars work great on our lounges, where you can lie back fully and gaze up at the wonders above. Pair these with our interactive star finder and test your navigation skills! CONTENT HIDE
