"To better understand the nature of the Universe we live in by experiencing the Earth and Sky through Research, Education and Environmental appreciation."

Earth & Sky LP is more than an Astro Tourism Company! Although we promote highly educational astronomy tours at University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory, we mostly instigate people to look up to our night sky and wonder... Starting only with a caravan and a handful of passionate people with starry eyes, this company has now over 40 qualified staff, 5 comfortable buses and it's still growing. A growth which embraces Tekapo, University of Canterbury, our Night Sky and all Astronomy enthusiasts.
