SUMMARY:Good Heavens Moon Walk
DESCRIPTION:For around a week each month\, the moon shines brightly in the evening sky. It the perfect time to meet us at a beautiful\, white sand beach for a moon- and stargazing group experience. If the tide is low enough we may go for a stroll on the moon lit beach. And we’ll definitely gaze at the moon’s features up close and hear her stories. Be prepared for moonlight shimmering on the waves. A stunning sight. \nYour Good Heavens’ group stargazing experience takes place in a beautiful location on pristine Aotea Great Barrier Island a scenic 90kms\, 4.5 hours by ferry from Central Auckland or half an hour by plane from Auckland Domestic Airport. \nDuring your stargazing experience\, from the top of the dunes\, we will look through our 8” Dobsonian Telescope to get close and personal with the brightest stars and celestial objects. Many are unique to the Southern Hemisphere. \nRelax in a comfy moon chair\, while you look up and enjoy our stunning moonlit sky as you hear the waves lap against the shore and see the moon light play on the ocean. Have constellations drawn in the sky\, while you enjoy a cup of hot chocolate or herbal tea. Moongazing does not get more enjoyable than this! \nGood Heavens’ group location on Great Barrier Island\, at Medlands Beach is easily accessible\, even for the less sure-footed. It is only 50 meters from the car park. If you like some visibility in the dark\, than a Moon Walk is the experience for you. \nCurrently large gas planets Jupiter and Saturn are in clear sight. A great time to come planetgazing!
