Reviews: Lake Tekapo: Stargazing Experience at Cowan's Observatory
Guest User2026-02-08
Expensive for what you experience. Guides were extremely knowledgeable. Novice astronomers should do this. If you’ve seen Jupiter moons…maybe not.★

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: Tekapo Shuttle: Mt Cook Day Tour via Pukaki & Tasman Lake
Guest User2026-02-02
What a fantastic tour! So worth doing to see some incredible mountains. Our guide TJ was amazing, he looked after the group so well and had great knowledge of the area and its history. TJ also prepared so many thoughtful touches to ensure we were all comfortable and made the most of the day, like refreshments, hiking poles and texting us when mount cook appeared during our hike.Trip.com Picks
