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.

Amazing tour!
Fantastic experience. The tour is very well organized and the guide George is amazing. We learned a lot from him and enjoyed the whole experience!

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 :)

Amazing experience!
This tour has been one of the best tours in my life. Sky was amazing, so clear, so magic. The guide was very informative and explained so many interesting aspects of the astronomy. Marshmallows and hot chocolate were also perfect for the night. I would highly recommend this tour to people who loves sky and stars.

We strive to make sure astronomy is accessible and fun, while making sure everyone is well taken care of. We hope to see you again soon :)

Worth it
Fantastic experience. We felt so lucky that the night we'd booked turned out to be so clear so we could really appreciate the dark sky reserve in all it's darkness. The talks were so interesting that I forgot all about being cold. My favourite part was seeing the Emu in the Sky, which I'd never seen before. We all saw meteors and satellites and I was able to see all the objects through the 2 different types of telescopes. I especially loved peering into the nebulae.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Being able to bask in darkness while learning about the southern night skies, plus looking at different objects through telescopes has always been our passion. The Galactic Emu is elusive and only visible on clear moonless night, we're so happy that this is now some of your favourite memories during the stargazing session. We hope to see you again soon, to explore more about our cosmos :)

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.
