Stargazing Experience
Cool experience! We were lucky to have clear skies while learning about the stars and using the telescopes. It did cloud over later while we were relaxing in the hot pools. Great tour guide too!

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.

Bad weather only VR experience
Due to bad weather only VR experience. But hot pool is good.

Ok
Average experience- too expensive for what you get. Would not do it again, even with a clear sky. Guide has good knowledge, but bit hard too follow if you are not a native english speaker. Guest Service experience could be better I experienced some mansplaining. Not cool. Missing some female staff here as well.
