Experience the captivating night sky like never before on our Ultimate Stargazing Tour in Lake Tekapo.
A personalised stargazing experience under the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve!

Highlights

  • A personalised guided stargazing tour of International Dark Sky Reserve
  • Use of our 16” modern telescope for deep sky objects
  • Small group tours with max of 10pax per tour
  • Use of our warm down jackets / wool blankets with comfortable moon chairs
  • Vast 360° views of the dark skies of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve

Our Ultimate Stargazing Experience is a 120-minute premium tour of the night sky. The tour can be personalised to involve a mix of naked-eye visual stargazing, learning about the brighter stars and important constellations, telescope observations and a free individual photograph under the stars.

Enjoy the wonders of the night sky from the comfort of our premium moon chairs whilst snacking from a platter of nibbles and keeping warm with a hot drink. Indulge in our Ultimate Stargazing Experience!

We use special astro-lasers for easy naked-eye viewing of important stars and constellations and a powerful 16” telescope for incredible views of amazing deep space and solar system objects.

Your guide will also take photos of you under the stars (Weather Dependent). Within 24 hours, we will have uploaded your photos into a private Google Drive folder where you can download your photo and share it with friends and family.

We cap our tours at 10 people which means that everyone will have plenty of time on the telescopes and opportunities to ask our guide questions.

Our Ultimate Stargazing tour includes a platter of nibbles* to satisfy your appetite and a selection of delicious hot drinks to keep you warm under the stars.

We will pick you up from your accommodation** and shuttle you to our Ultimate Stargazing site. All of our stargazing locations are super dark, with some of the lowest light pollution in Tekapo. We have the pleasure of being able to run our tours from within the gold-rated Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve, some of the darkest skies on the entire planet.
