This was one of our favorite activities during our trip to New Zealand, specifically in the Lake Tekapo area. To see the night sky and the milky way in such detail had us in awe. Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable that our time with her just flew by. We would definitely recommend this activity to anyone staying in and around that area.
Wow wow wow. We hit all...

Wow wow wow. We hit all the major destinations in NZ on our vacation and this tour was arguably one of the best things we did. The sky was mind-blowing, the guide was super knowledgeable, the telescopes were very cool, and the hot chocolate was a super nice touch. Great communication day-of about the weather and how to find them!
A great way to learn about the night sky!

This was a great experience! The guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the night sky. It was a chilly evening but the blankets provided kept us comfortable. The hot chocolate and marshmallows were a great touch as well. We learned so much and were lucky enough to have a perfectly clear night!
Great experience.

Our guide is extremely knowledgable and displayed great professionalism. Ask him any questions and he will be able to answer you within his finger tips. He has such great understanding of the constellation and universe. We were seated on very comfortable reclined seat and given a thick blanket while the guide used a laser pointer to explain the stars. There was also a warm drink given halfway through. At the end of the star gaze, we did marshmellow barbecue. Photos of the star gaze taken from the telescope were sent to our emails a few hours after the star gaze

Excellent experience, especially for those living in cities and can’t actually appreciate the beauty of the sky. The guide is excellent and gave is an eye opening lecture on the celestial bodies.
