Truly amazing! We used professional astronomical telescopes to see so many fascinating celestial bodies! We saw Venus, which has phases just like the moon; the stunning Tarantula Nebula, which is a birthplace of beautiful baby stars; the Wishing Well Cluster; the gorgeous, jewel-like 47 Tucanae cluster; and Saturn with its rings. It was just incredible! Despite the cold weather, there was hot cocoa and a roasted marshmallow activity! Plus, everyone gets a professional photo of the starry sky. Definitely worthy of a 5-star review!

We didn't end up seeing the stars because it was too cloudy. The person in charge was very helpful and rescheduled for us, but even on the new date, they said we wouldn't be able to see anything, so we didn't go. KLOOK quickly arranged a refund.

Very special experience! The staffs are friendly and the instructions are clear. All passangers please get ready your waterproof shoes, the snow are thick.

The stargazing experience was beautifully organized and exceeded our expectations. Being surrounded by the peaceful night sky and seeing so many stars with our own eyes was simply breathtaking. The atmosphere was calm, magical, and incredibly relaxing — a wonderful escape from the busy city life.

It was an amazing experience 🤩🏔️🚁 A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity~ highly recommend joining the glacier hike! Since it was cloudy and rainy on the first day, we changed our slot with the front desk to the next day, and we successfully got bright sunshine and fantastic weather 👍 After checking in, we were divided into groups and went into a small room where they explained important safety instructions for taking the helicopter, taught us how to put on crampons, and then we followed directions to board the chopper. Also, the sun is really intense~ remember to bring sunglasses and put on sunscreen ☀️ Our guide, Kobe, was lively and adorable 🥰 We took a lot of beautiful photos of the ice caves, totally worth it 🫶

We were incredibly lucky to have perfect weather — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Both my child and I were thrilled and had a great time. Our guide Jasper that day was exceptionally attentive and considerate, and we all really liked him. We highly recommend everyone to try the glacier hiking tour.

For en utrolig opplevelse. Scott er en fantastisk guide, veldig kunnskapsrik og blid. Turen varte rundt 1,5 time med god tid til å stoppe for bilder, så den var ikke så fysisk krevende som forventet. Isbreen er virkelig fascinerende, det er et av de beste minnene jeg har fra New Zealand!

The 45-minute guided tour at the Tekapo petting zoo is a fun and interactive experience, especially since entry includes one box of feed per person. The animals—including Merino sheep, alpacas, KuneKune pigs, and calves—are incredibly cute, friendly, and affectionate as you hand-feed them. Just make sure to listen carefully to the guide's instructions at the start for everyone's safety. The only downside is that the tour groups can get quite crowded, sometimes reaching up to 20 people at once.

Første gang jeg deltok på en stjernekikkingstur, og det var billigere enn på den offisielle nettsiden. Servicen var utmerket; du trenger ikke å bekymre deg for å fryse, da de tilbyr heldekkende dunjakker. Det var visst fire-fem størrelser! Den eneste ulempen var at vi deltok på den femtende dagen i den første måneden, som var fullmåne. Dette påvirket stjernekikkingen, og det var litt annerledes enn jeg hadde forventet. Dark Sky-programmet tar deg fra foten av fjellet opp til observatoriets verneområde, hvor en ekspert vil forklare ulike astronomiske fenomener. Underveis vil de spørre om noen har spørsmål om astronomi. Hvis du ikke er så kjent med de tolv planetene og noen profesjonelle astronomiske termer på engelsk, kan det være litt vanskelig å forstå. De tilbyr imidlertid en tidligere kinesisk økt. De bruker også det superstore astronomiske teleskopet inne i observatoriet, noe jeg opplevde for første gang, og det var utrolig og en sjelden mulighet! Men hvis det er rundt nymåne eller fullmåne, anbefaler jeg å ikke delta, da du kan bli skuffet.
