Astronomy Centre

The Moana Skies Astronomy Centre, located at 8 Beach Road, Kaikōura, is our home base in Kaikōura and a place for visitors of all ages to explore astronomy and safely view the Sun through our specialised solar telescopes.

Inside the centre you’ll find interactive displays, telescopes, astronomy equipment, educational resources, and our Virtual Reality space experiences.

Visitors can stop in, learn about our vast universe, and prepare for their stargazing tour later in the evening.
