Star Safari Gift Card — Give the Universe

Give someone special a night beneath one of the world’s darkest, clearest skies — the Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve, named by Lonely Planet as one of the Top 25 Experiences in the World for 2026.

And we are over the Moon—Star Safari is the stargazing experience highlighted by Lonely Planet in its 11-day Stargazing in Wairarapa journey.

At Star Safari Observatory, every visit is guided by real science. Our operators, whom we call Sky Rangers, share the Universe through enormous telescopes and science storytelling. Rings of Saturn, moons of Jupiter, the Milky Way arching overhead… It’s an experience that leaves people breathless, humbled, and inspired.

What the gift unlocks

• A guided stargazing session at Star Safari Observatory in Carterton, Wairarapa | An evening of space and astronomy if the sky is cloudy

• Access to our solar- and wind-powered observatory, surrounded by the luminous Moon Garden

• A personal welcome, expert guidance, and unforgettable views through the largest public telescopes in Wairarapa

• Complimentary entry for children under 16, because inspiration should be free
