Stars for Change – A Night Sky Experience That Gives Back
Once a month, under the magical skies of Lake Tekapo, we invite you to join Stars for Change — a special stargazing tour where your wonder becomes a force for good.
Held on the second Saturday of every month, this 90-minute tour follows the same format as our signature Chameleon Stargazing experience — blending storytelling, astronomy, and a night sky portrait — but with a powerful twist:
100% of profits are donated to a different nonprofit organisation each month.
You’ll enjoy:
- A guided tour of the southern sky in one of the darkest places on Earth
- 2 powerful telescopes to observe deep sky objects
- A digital portrait under the stars to take home
- A cozy outdoor setting and a free hot drink
- The chance to connect with others under the stars — and make a meaningful impact on Earth
- A fire bowl and marshmallows
The tour takes place at our private, off-grid stargazing site, just 5 minutes from Tekapo village, nestled in the heart of the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve.
Whether you’re a traveler, a local, or someone who just wants to give back in a unique way, Stars for Change is your chance to experience something unforgettable — for yourself and for others.
