As you explore the heavens with our range of equipment, relax to the sound of our spring fed stream flowing down the mountain. Listen out for our native Morepork Owls that nest in the area.
Manuka Skies acts as Kaitiaki for the sanctuary. Meaning we are it's guardians responsible for caring for her. Our vision is to re-connect the sky back to the earth through our forests.
