Amazing Experience
This was a fantastic night with a very experienced astronomer. Such fascinating facts and insights into the skies. Thoughtful touches with blankets, hot chocolates and time for questions around the fire while we toasted marshmallows. A small group so plenty of time for everyone on the telescopes. Would 100% recommend and would do it again. Thanks team :)

Excellent
Even though the weather wasn’t great, the team made the whole experience really enjoyable! They were super friendly and shared lots of interesting info throughout the tour. The hot chocolate was amazing, and roasting marshmallows over the open fire was such a fun touch. I was also pleasantly surprised to get a partial refund since the skies weren’t very clear — that was really thoughtful. All in all, I’d totally recommend this tour. It was such a lovely experience despite the weather!

Kia Ora Mildred, thank you for your kind words and patience about the weather condition. Even though the sky is a bit temperamental, our guides still do our best to show what the night sky has to offer, and we hope that you'd learnt some new interesting astronomy knowledge while spending time with us. We hope to be able to host you again should you're traveling to Lake Tekapo :)
