Magical Tekapo Skies with Silver River - Megan did a wonderful job engaging our group and showing us the basics of navigation in the Southern Hemisphere, constellations, and some beautiful celestial objects in the telescope! Highly recommend. I wish the tours were longer to allow for a bit more telescope time- even 15 minutes would allow 1-2 more objects to be viewed and would enhance the experience.

Stargazing experience - Very informative experience. The tour was amazing and knowledgeable. Glad to have joined the tour with our picture taken. This is highly recommended tour experience for stargazing. We compared a few before we decided to go with this one and it’s worth it.

A once in a lifetime experience - A truly incredible tour! I had a tour with Roslyn and was blown away by how knowledgable she was and how much I learnt about the stars in such a short space of time. The view was absolutely breathtaking and getting the chance to see stars up close through a telescope was simply fascinating, all while learning so much. Roslyn was so kind, informative, professional, funny, and answers every question anyone had and the whole experience was something I will never forget!

tekapo stargazing - Highly recommended! An absolutely incredible experience stargazing in New Zealand’s dark sky reserve! The night skies were simply breathtaking, and I learned so much about the stars and constellations from Wilson. Despite the cold, it was completely worth it. The photos took are some of the best I’ve ever captured, and the entire experience was unforgettable. Even though the first night was canceled due to rain, the team was fantastic and rescheduled us for the next night, which turned out to be perfect. If you’re visiting New Zealand Tekapo, this is something you absolutely can’t miss. The dark sky reserve is a true wonder, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
