Zen Stargazing invites you to experience Star Bathing, a 90-minute journey under Twizel’s pristine night sky. Designed for small groups of up to 10 people, this tour allows Japanese-speaking travellers to lie back on comfortable reclining chairs and fully immerse themselves in the stars. Using high-quality telescopes, guests can observe planets, stars, and constellations, guided with clear and engaging explanations. Star Bathing is about more than stargazing—it is a mindful escape that combines the awe of the universe with relaxation.
