The Long:

Experience the captivating cosmos like never before on our Ultimate Stargazing tour, a 2-hour personalised stargazing experience with one of our expert guides. 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.

Please note: Your credit card will be charged in NZD. We do not have children's prices for this tour as it is designed for adults, please get in touch with us if you have any questions about this.
