Such a treat, flying to and from Auckland, and whe Such a treat, flying to and from Auckland, and when you come stargazing with Good Heavens it's part of the journey, unless of course, you come on the ferry. It's also an option to fly one way and boat the other. For a bird's-eye and a dolphin's view 😁 Consider flying early or late in the day when you're a photographer, as the light is just stunning. On the ferry, the sailing out is usually early, and the sailing back is usually late... * * * #flymysky #greatbarrierisland #greatbarrierislandofficial #sealinknz #🐬 #🕊️ #darskyexperience #dosomethingnewnz #visitauckland #xspotgbi #freeasabird

In the waiting room for their stargazing tour last In the waiting room for their stargazing tour last night. 🤩 Great idea to come early and enjoy the beach on dusk. See the first stars pop out as the waves are rolling in. A fantastic time of the day to enjoy some Barrier time ✨

Back in summer time... 🌅 Commute to stargazing Back in summer time... 🌅 Commute to stargazing now happens on dusk, whereas in winter, this happens in the dark. Tours are starting at 830pm at the moment, but getting later as we're heading into the heart of summer. 🔥 Super gazing at the moment. Amazing seeing, with super clear skies, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn very close, and now that the moon is waning, we're heading into the darkest time of the month.✨ Come stargazing with us! 🤗 * * * #tryphena #schoonerbay #greatbarrierislandofficial #greatbarrierisland #gbicommute
