A Dark Sky Legacy 20 Years Beneath the Stars

Nā te pō, ko te ao, ko te ao mārama From the darkest depths of the night we become enlightened. Join us as we celebrate 20 years of the Dark Sky Project, born in Takapō and grown into one of the world’s leading astro-tourism experiences. This documentary traces our journey from humble stargazing tours to a legacy of storytelling, science, and night sky preservation. Filmed under the internationally recognised Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, this is a tribute to the people, place, and passion behind the stars. Watch, share, and journey with us beneath the southern skies.
