Reviews: New Zealand Lake Tekapo 90-minute Chameleon Stargazing Tour for 14 People with Professional Telescope
Guest User2025-11-13
It was a fantastic experience. The teacher's explanations were very engaging, and I learned a lot. I learned how to identify the Southern Cross, Alpha Beta Centauri, and that the brightest star is Sirius. Gazing at the starry sky and listening to the explanations, and afterwards enjoying hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows, plus a group photo under the stars, it was all unforgettable.

The driver and guide were very humorous and explained astronomical knowledge very well. Cowan Mountain is actually on the side of the road, very close. Overall, I am satisfied!

Great virtual experience of stargazing but on the pricey side. The tour lasted about 40mins and only our family toured, in a way it was good but the tour guide wasn't fluent in English so it was difficult to understand.
