It’s an amazing experience! The tour will provide stars information and knowledge to us before we admire by ourselves. And we can see the stars and planets by the telescope. It’s really amazing and stunning!! We can see the Milky Way in the dark sky and we can also take pictures of the galaxy! It’s a memorial experience.
The stargazing program was very fun and interesting. The guide was nice and upbeat. We rode the bus to a stargazing place, and when we looked up, the sky was full of stars. It was very beautiful.
Check in point is just at a souvenir store at the main street of Lake Tekapo. The visibility of stars is subject to weather and the cloudy level of the night, the guide will email you if the forecast is bad. Our guide is very knowledgeable and we learned so much about our galaxy. We managed to see a shooting star as well. Site is not the observatory where the famous Astra cafe is and there is no time given to us to take our own photo. many people in our group brought tripod and returned empty handed.
an educational tour, we managed to even withness the southern light. enjoyed a fuss free tour with an eloquent and humorous guide.
I recently participated in the Silver Stargazing tour at Lake Tekapo, and it was absolutely incredible! Dan, our guide, provided exceptional explanations about the planets and stars, making the experience both educational and breathtaking. His passion for astronomy shone through as he shared fascinating insights about the night sky. The clear skies at Lake Tekapo offered the perfect backdrop for viewing countless stars, constellations, and even some planets. The telescopes they provided allowed for close-up views that were truly mesmerizing. I highly recommend this stargazing experience to anyone visiting the area.
it was really a nice experience. one of its kind. Haven’t had such experience yet. look at these photographs I took from my iPhone 15 pro.
absolutely must do when in lake tekapo since it's a dark sky reserve plc. operator provided long coats which was so useful as it was an hour of sharing under the stars in the cold! learnt so much about our galaxy and big kudos to our guide Daniel and willy. no photos to show of the tour as our phones couldnt capture the wonderful view.
Value for money tour! really loved Jojo our guide. Learned so much about the stars. Everything was on time and well organized
He gave a very friendly explanation. He explained passionately and helped me with stargazing. I could tell that Adrian liked stargazing and explanations. He lent me coats and provided many conveniences. If the weather is good, please join us.
It was a summer night and the last day of the month, so it was the best day to see the constellations. Thanks to the guide's kind explanations, I was able to understand the constellations in the southern sky better, and the explanation about the Milky Way was also good. The constellations shown through the telescope were also very detailed and good~
