Immerse yourself in the wonder of the night sky with a stargazing experience in Twizel. Located in the heart of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, Twizel offers some of the clearest and darkest skies in the world.

Enjoy the pristine beauty of the Southern Alps as a backdrop and the quiet serenity of Twizel’s night skies. Step away from the city lights and join us for an unforgettable evening under one of the most stunning skies on earth.

Extraordinary experience

Wilson was very accommodating - we actually ventured out (despite the clouds forcing the tour to be cancelled earlier) and bumped into him serendipitously in the stargazing spot and he gave us a tour regardless after the weather improved. We saw stars and planets and Wilson gave us very informative and detailed explanation on how to spot them. It was truly an astounding experience and I can't recommend this enough.
