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: 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.★

Reviews: From Christchurch: Queenstown via Tekapo & Mt Cook Day Trip
Guest User2025-12-25
Our family of 4 had Diana and Joe as our guides. Diana picked us up in CHC and narrated the history of the sights we visited as she drove the van down to Mt Cooke. Very informative! We were going on to Queenstown so we switched to Joe's van, who was also very helpful and friendly. It was stress-free travel with everything taken care of, including bathroom breaks, prearranged lunch and snacks/water. Highly recommend!
