Great tour

We had a great tour with George, it was all very organised and well prepared. We were able to see multiple objects in the sky using the telescopes and learned a bit more about the southern night sky! We enjoyed our hot chocolates and toasted marshmallows too :) Thanks for having us!

I wish I could put 6 stars!

An incredible experience with a fantastic guide! I highly recommend this place—it was one of the most fascinating things we did on the South Island. We even had marshmallows and hot chocolate! We attended the 9:00 pm session, and the sky was perfectly dark for stargazing.

Great Experience

Hosts went out of there way to create a very positive, welcoming and inclusive experience. We were made to feel the experience was provided for each of us individually, including follow up information to keep.

From Chameleon Stargazing - Shared Tour - Tekapo

Thank you for your kind words and George is as always amazing (and passionate about the night sky)! We hope that all the knowledge that you'd learnt from him will be part of you from here onwards, whenever you gaze upon the night sky. We hope to see you again soon :)
