About Dark Sky Project
Dark Sky Project runs stargazing tours from its base at 1 Motuariki Lane, Lake Tekapo. It is owned by Ngāi Tahu Tourism and also runs Dark Sky Diner and Astro Cafe.
The Summit Experience goes up to the University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory for 1 hour 45 minutes, with 16-inch telescopes and cold-weather jackets supplied. The Crater Experience uses 14-inch telescopes at Cowan's Private Observatory, a 5-minute drive away, for ages 5 and up. The indoor Dark Sky Experience is built around a restored 125-year-old Brashear telescope.
