Passeios por Lake Tekapo

Upon arriving at the stargazing spot, the staff had each member lie down on a lounge chair and provided a thick blanket (the temperature was only a few degrees, it was very cold). The first part involved viewing with the naked eye. The staff used an astronomical laser pointer to indicate points in the sky while explaining astronomical knowledge. After viewing with the naked eye, we used astronomical telescopes 🔭 for stargazing. There were two telescopes, and most of the pictures were taken with the smaller one (small, but very powerful). We saw Jupiter's stripes, the Milky Way, a gentle close-up of the moon, and the twinkling stars around the Southern Cross, among other things. It was truly moving to the point of tears. Seeing it live was countless times more beautiful than in photos, because you feel like they are alive, they are moving, they are blooming ⭐ During the process, the staff also provided everyone with a cup of hot chocolate and took souvenir photos for each team member. Finally, we gathered around a fire pit to roast marshmallows 🍡, ending my stargazing trip feeling completely satisfied. 🤗

El programa de observación de estrellas fue muy divertido e interesante. El guía fue amable y animado. Tomamos el autobús a un lugar de observación de estrellas, y cuando miramos hacia arriba, el cielo estaba lleno de estrellas. Fue muy hermoso.

The whole tour was amazing, although the itinerary was a bit hectic. Except for Mt. Cook, the other stops were quite short — just enough time to snap a few photos before moving on to the next spot. It’s understandable since the destinations are quite far from Christchurch. They also provided free lunch and snacks (chips), which was a nice touch

Driver is nice and friendly. He was trying very best to accommodate everyone’s need. We always feel stress free and being taken good care when travel with cheeky kiwi!

I went there for Mount Cook, but I also got to eat salmon and see the lake, and there were so many activities, it was a great deal! We had to transfer midway, but both of our guides were wonderful people.

I really loved the trip. We had enough time to take lots of pictures without feeling rushed at every landmark. Unfortunately, I went the wrong way so I didn’t see the glacier. Overall, I would say the tour guide is really knowledgeable. He took care of everyone on the trip, so I highly recommend him if you want to go on a tour from Queenstown to Tekapo. He talked to us about a lot of knowledge and history about New Zealand, so I didn’t get bored during the trip, and he also took care of everyone on the trip, so I highly recommend him if you want to go on a tour from Queenstown to Tekapo.

Here's the translation for your new message: --- We happened to have clear skies on the day we went. Although we didn't catch the spectacular sight of a thousand waterfalls in full flow, it was still a very worthwhile trip — at least four or five waterfalls are "open for business" year-round. Along the way, we also stopped at several scenic spots, and the bus driver was quite witty and humorous, giving us introductions to the various activities available. Highly recommended.

Aunque el tiempo y el cielo no estaban tan despejados como se esperaba, la experiencia del tour fue bastante agradable. Bueno para aquellos a quienes les encanta aprender más sobre Astronomía. Instructor muy bien informado y con una gran habilidad para contar historias. Una experiencia romántica sentarse allí con ropa abrigada, bebidas y malvaviscos a la barbacoa 🤭
