About Us

and Akaroa

Your Guide - Luca

Originally from Trieste (Italy), my passion for astronomy started from a very young age. I remember walking on the beach as my dad was pointing out some constellations. From that moment, I have never stopped looking up and learning about our Universe.

I moved to Akaroa, New Zealand in 2013, pursuing my career as a Chef. In 2019, I joined Dark Sky Project in Lake Tekapo and put my lifelong passion in my job as an Astronomy Guide at the world-renowned University of Canterbury Mt John Observatory. In early 2021, I became the English Guiding Team Leader.

In February 2022, I started Akaroa Stargazing.
