With the vast ocean waters on New Zealand’s coast and the vast rolling plains, the nighttime sky is a spectacle to see for wandering stargazers. With endless constellations and a surrounding landscape like none other, star gazing is a must-see for any curious astronomy hobbyists. Views that are uncommon to many light-polluted countries are blown away by the views in popular locations such as Lake Tekapo and Wanaka. The kids will be ecstatic to see a star spotted sky or, if it is past their bedtime, the scene makes for the perfect alone time that parents can enjoy.
