Highlights
- Incredible dark sky hot pool experience!
- Fully guided stargazing tour
Located at the renowned Tekapo Springs resort, the tour combines the spectacular Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve with exclusive access to a relaxing hot pool.
The journey begins with an outdoor tour where you’re introduced to the dazzling night skies of Tekapo – look through telescopes and learn about fascinating astronomy with your guide! In poor weather you’ll enjoy a customised Virtual Reality tour of Tekapo’s night skies with a unique blend of science and storytelling.
You’ll then enjoy exclusive access to our soul-warming 38℃ hot pool where you can relax on a floating hammock and marvel at the sparkling display of stars as you explore the wonder of Tekapo’s night skies. Your guide remains poolside to tell you more about the stars and share local stories.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve boasts some of the clearest, darkest night skies in the world and is the largest reserve in the southern hemisphere.

If you're at Lake Tekapo, you MUST do this
Sitting on a floating hammock in a hot springs, gazing at the stars as clearly as you'll ever see them ! Excellent hosts also, with a wealth of knowledge. Get on it !

Hot Water
Nice to learn about all the star pictures but we cant remember then when we see dee Them in the night sky. But the hot water was good for our helth.

Comfortable night
We enjoyed our star gazing and hot pool night. The telescopes are not powerful enough to see much but the hot pool and conversations by staff were interesting.

Stars & hotpools amazing
The stargazing was very informative with a small group it allowed for a good amount of time to view thru the telescope. Hotpools & facilities were amazing! Feedforward would be to showcase Aotearoa/NZ purakau/stories with correct pronunciation & info. Good attempt at including our stories but a gentle reminder to also uphold the mana of the purakau by using correct info. It's what makes us unquie, tourist & Maori will appreciate the cultural component. There are amazing purakau resources online now or ask local iwi if they can share with you their local stories. Even if you played a recording it would still uphold the mana of the people & whenua/land.

Hot Pool + Stargazing
A must do experience if you're in queenstown. The guides were amazing and took us through the journey of stars post which we soaked in the hot pools to enjoy stargazing. Totally worth every penny.
