Reviews: New Zealand Lake Tekapo 90-minute Chameleon Stargazing Tour for 14 People with Professional Telescope
Guest User2025-11-13
It was a fantastic experience. The teacher's explanations were very engaging, and I learned a lot. I learned how to identify the Southern Cross, Alpha Beta Centauri, and that the brightest star is Sirius. Gazing at the starry sky and listening to the explanations, and afterwards enjoying hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows, plus a group photo under the stars, it was all unforgettable.★

Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Reviews: Lake Tekapo: Stargazing Experience at Cowan's Observatory
Guest User2025-12-25
We had an amazing experience with very informative explanations on each star by a kind & motivated guide!!! Thank you very much! I'm sure we will recommend it to others. One thing I should note here is that it is better to clarify both beginning time & date of midnight tour (which starts from 0:00 AM). We were going to join 21 December midnight tour (which starts from 22 December 0:00AM), but we got confused about start time & date when we made booking because the web-page just said "be careful with the start time&date" (but it did not clarify the date). In the remind email, we can find the date information, but it should be included in the booking page.
