Under the darkest skies imaginable, our friendly local guides will guide you through our Dark Sky Sanctuary sky.
We use an 8" telescope to get up close and personal with some to the most interesting deep sky objects.
Enjoy the super dark sky above, while your guide entertains you with interesting facts and magical stories.
Viewing the Milky Way from the beach is a special experience. Note that cameras do pick up more light than the human eye.
Share your stargazing adventure with a small group of up to 12 people.
There is so much to see, even when the Moon is large in the sky, and the Milky Way recedes into the background.
Lean back into your comfortable moon chair and listen to the sounds of the waves below. Become aware of the universe above and the tiny part you play within. What better place to appreciate our own planet, then this off-grid, low-waste island.
A very brief overview of a Good Heavens Dark Sky Experience.
Time lapse of Great Barrier Island's stunning starry vistas, showing the thousands of stars visible in a Dark Sky Sanctuary. Also note that with the moon bright in the sky, less stars are visible - a great time for a Moon Walk with the Good Heavens team.
Aotea is a treasured island, with many endangered species, stunning solitary beaches, great walking tracks and friendly locals. It is also off-grid. Some things you find in other world class destinations, you won't find here. We like it that way.
