Amazing

We booked on a right night where the sky was very clear. It's amazing to see the Milky Way at a right spot and we were amazed seeing Saturn's ring through the lens. Our tour guide Wilson is good. We loved his raw sense of humor. "If you like the tour, give a review, if you don't like the tour, don't give a review" hits home for someone like me who is in the service industry too.

Beautiful experience

Whoa! The sky was so beautiful. Our guide gave us great information, and we could see some constellations in the telescope. Thank you for providing the warm jacket and for the nice souvenir pictures.

Stargazing

We were very fortunate to have amazing clear skies while in Tekapo. Very enjoyable experience with a knowledgeable guide who shared his passion with the group.

Not enough telescope

I was under the impression when I made the booking that we would be looking through the telescope the entire time and stories about constellations would be told while we waited our turn. This was no the case and we only were able to look through the telescope for about 3 mins in total, looking at 2 different areas of the sky

From Alpine Stargazing Experience - Lake Tekapo

Hi Sam, Thank you for your feedback! We'll work on making things better for everyone. It appears that the night was pretty windy and clouds are moving quickly, hence the tourguide may be doing the tour quicker to ensure everyone has enough time to look through the telescope objects before the clouds cover up the sky. In regards to improving your experience, we'd love to invite you again to our stargazing tours again if we get the chance, with no charges of course!

Great experience with some further potential.

The experience was great and exactly as imagined. Friendly and informative tour guides, stunning night sky, great equipment for stargazing and long enough yet not too long. One area of unfound potential (especially around this time of year) is the lack of Māori and Matariki information/knowledge. Definitely an opportunity to add value and more Kiwi authenticity to the tour.
