For around a week each month, the moon shines brightly in the evening sky. At this time of the month, meet us at a beautiful, white sand beach. If the tide is low enough we may go for a stroll on the moon lit beach. And we'll definitely gaze at the moon's features up close and hear her stories. Be prepared for moonlight shimmering on the waves. A stunning sight.

<strong>Your Good Heavens’ group stargazing experience takes place in a beautiful location on pristine <a href="http://greatbarrier.co.nz/">Aotea Great Barrier Island</a>, a scenic 90kms, 4.5 hours by ferry from Central Auckland or half an hour by plane from Auckland Domestic airport.</strong>

From the top of the dunes we will look through our 8” Dobsonian Telescope to get close and personal with the brightest stars and celestial objects. Many are unique to the Southern Hemisphere.

Relax in a comfy moon chair, while you look up and enjoy our stunning Dark Sky Sanctuary sky as you hear the waves lap against the shore. Have constellations drawn in the sky, while you enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea. Moongazing does not get more enjoyable than this!

Good Heavens’ group location on Great Barrier Island, at Medlands Beach is easily accessible, even for the less sure-footed. It is only 50 meters from the car park. If you like some visibility in the dark, than a Moon Walk is the experience for you.

Come and enjoy the Moon and our starry sky with Good Heavens!

Please note:

  • If you want to come for a stroll on our sandy beach, you have to be able to walk/stand for 1/4 hour, but you are most welcome to moon bathe in a moon chair by the telescope during that time, too. 
  • When our Moon takes centre stage, the Milky Way recedes from our view.
