Bookings are essential. The sessions are 90 minutes long and include viewing night sky objects through our 16" telescopes. If the weather is unsuitable for stargazing, we explore our sky in virtual reality. Children are free if they are 15 and under, but they must be accompanied by an adult with a purchased ticket. There can be a maximum of two children per adult. Gift cards are available for purchase and are valid for one year.
Free cancellation (or reschedule) up to 24 hours before the session's start time. In severe weather, we may have to cancel a session, in which case refunds will be given, or we will have the option of rebooking for a different session.
We are Hari and Sam, and we created Star Safari to share the wonder of the southern night sky. In the Wairarapa, highlighted by Lonely Planet as a world-class stargazing region, you will look through powerful 16-inch telescopes with top-quality optics and learn to navigate the stars for yourself. Beginners can discover where to start, and advanced observers are welcome to bring their lists. Across 90 minutes, we explore star clusters, the Moon, planets when visible, and the stories of the sky. If the weather is unsuitable, we switch to an immersive virtual reality tour of the cosmos. Ask questions, be curious. Every session is personal and welcoming. An inspiring experience that lets you feel truly connected to the universe.
