Itinerary
Stonehenge Aotearoa
Discover the brilliance of the night sky from one of the most unique astronomy sites in New Zealand. The Star Trek Stargazing Experience at Stonehenge Aotearoa combines science, storytelling, and wonder beneath the Wairarapa stars. Join our expert guide for an interactive astronomy introduction followed by a live night sky presentation using powerful laser pointers to identify constellations, planets, and celestial landmarks visible from the Southern Hemisphere. You’ll learn how ancient cultures navigated and understood the stars, and how their knowledge connects with modern astronomy today. Weather permitting, the laser tour takes you on a guided journey through the constellations above – no telescope required, just your own eyes and curiosity.
