View some of the best skies in the world from within Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, the largest Dark Sky Reserve in the world. The highly enthusiastic guides will tour you through the Southern night skies sharing from their vast well of knowledge on subjects from the basics of astronomy to some of the more mind boggling science of outer space. With the options of Cowan’s Observatory and the University of Canterbury's Mt John Observatory there are options for all. For those who are not the night owl type, Mt John is open during the day hosting the Astro-Café, where the views themselves need no introduction. Mount John is about a 45 minute drive from Twizel ,

During the day - drive or hike up to the top of Mt John. The observatory is not open but there is a cafe at the top plus great 360 degree views. Star Gazing/Observatory Tour - good tour however pricy. Make sure you were warm clothing as it can be quite windy on top of Mt John at night.
