Your Journey Awaits…
No matter where your adventure with Moana Skies begins — whether in the heart of town, beneath the midday sun, or under a blanket of stars — you’re in for an unforgettable experience. From private spa stargazing and mobile solar tours, to immersive storytelling beneath world-class dark skies, every offering is designed to connect you with the wonders of the cosmos in a uniquely Kaikōura way.
Our experiences take place in different signature locations in and around the Kaikoura Dark Sky Sanctuary including Ata Rangi lodge, Fyffe House Heritage Museum and other coastal and elevated rural locations. Wherever the setting, you’ll enjoy an evening (or day!) of captivating astronomy, awe-inspiring views, and heartfelt local storytelling.
We provide everything you need for a comfortable and magical outing — from warm blankets and hot drinks on cooler nights, to expert guidance and tailored insights to suit every group. Weather is monitored closely, and you’ll receive a final confirmation on the day of your booking. Just bring sturdy footwear, a sense of curiosity, and any questions you may have.
We can’t wait to share the sky with you.
