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.★

The receptions and the staff were nice to us and provided a very clear introduction and briefing to us prior to the beginning of the events. They have all sorts of equipment that we could borrow, including Rain coats, backpacks, etc. My guides, Hunter and Kirby, are friendly and professional.★
