Astronomy Adventures

View the night sky like never before with Astronomy Adventures, at Baylys Beach, in New Zealand's Northland. The Skydome observatory houses the largest telescope in the North Island, open to the public on a nightly basis (weather permitting).

The small local population of the area means less light interference and pollution, giving a clear view of stars, galaxies and planets.

See the sights of the Southern Hemisphere skies through a large computerised telescope and an astronomer to guide the way. The tour comprises craters and volcanoes on the moon, the planets (for example the rings of Saturn or the moons of Jupiter), double stars in the Southern Cross, Nebulae, Galactic and Globular clusters, and on dark nights other Galaxies!

Northland may have spectacular clear blue skies during the day, but they are even more amazing come nightfall. Check them out for yourself with Astronomy Adventures.
