Join Kaikōura Dark Skies at the A&P Show

We’d love to see you at this year’s Kaikōura A&P Show on Saturday 22nd February. Come and say hello and be-in-to-win a family stargazing tour pass!

  • Check out our new Outdoor Lighting Display created by the local Menzshed.
  • Explore the night sky through the VR headsets.
  • Get creative with the colouring in and puzzles.

You have a chance to win a tour pass with Moana Skies for an incredible stargazing experience.

Guess the lollies in the jar and make a gold coin donation to the trust to enter. The winning family or couple will join Moana Skies for an evening of stories, stargazing, and beautiful views, all while cosying up with blankets and enjoying a hot chocolate.

You’ll be met in the central of Kaikōura and transported for approximately 15 minutes to the star gazing site which sits atop a mountain overlooking the ocean.

Under guidance, you’ll delve into the beauty and mysteries of the universe. Observe the constellations, distant planets, and the Milky Way. Explore Deep-Sky Objects – Witness the wonders of nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies all through the state-of-the-art telescopes.

Learn the art of navigation and how you find your way using the stars and listening to fascinating stories about the history of the cosmos.
