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: Mount Cook Day tour from Christchurch to Queenstown
Guest User2023-12-20
Stuart the driver very informative. Like commentary which tell me all about what we see. However very little time to do anything up at Mt Cook before having to take the long journey back to Christchurch. ★

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.
