Sunset GUIDED TOUR

Watch the Sun Set Over the Stones at Stonehenge Aotearoa

Experience Stonehenge Aotearoa at its most breathtaking — as the sun dips below the Wairarapa horizon. Our Sunset Guided Tour combines astronomy, storytelling, and the natural beauty of twilight for a truly unforgettable evening. 

Led by one of our knowledgeable guides, this 90-minute experience reveals how ancient civilizations used the movement of the Sun to measure time and mark the changing seasons. You’ll learn the science and cultural history behind the Henge’s unique Southern Hemisphere
design before witnessing the sunset alignment from within the stone circle.

Weather permitting, you’ll see how the setting Sun interacts with the Henge’s structure – a moment that beautifully connects ancient  wisdom with the rhythms of nature.
