Nightshift Star Gazing

Stargazing Waiheke

Discover the magic of the night sky with Stargazing Waiheke, an unforgettable experience set among the island’s peaceful hills and sparkling horizons. Far from the bright city lights, Waiheke offers some of the clearest night skies in the Auckland region — the perfect setting to explore the stars, planets, and galaxies above.

Led by passionate local astronomers, Stargazing Waiheke offers guided night-sky tours, twilight walks, and educational sessions suitable for all ages. Guests can peer through powerful telescopes to spot the rings of Saturn, distant star clusters, and constellations unique to the Southern Hemisphere. Each tour is relaxed, informative, and designed to help visitors reconnect with the natural beauty of the universe.

As the sun sets, the experience begins with an introduction to the evening sky — how to find the Southern Cross, why the Milky Way glows, and the stories behind Māori and Polynesian constellations. Whether you’re a first-time stargazer, a keen photographer, or a family looking for something different to do on the island, Stargazing Waiheke makes for an inspiring and memorable night out.

All equipment is provided, and bookings can be made for small groups, private tours, or educational visits. Just bring warm clothing, a sense of curiosity, and your love for the outdoors.

Stargazing Waiheke is one of the island’s most unique evening activities — a peaceful, awe-inspiring experience that showcases the best of Waiheke’s natural charm and dark-sky beauty.
