All aspects were handled professionally by the organisers, we were given plenty of advice on dressing for the cold night's viewing and the team on site had us ready to leave on time. Unfortunately the weather conditions deteriorated before we reached the observation site. We were given a full refund due to the cancellation of the event. Great service.

The booking process was easy, directions given were excellent and reminders arrived promptly. Unfortunately we were unlucky to have cloud cover intervene before we could use the very impressive telescope. We were only in Lake Tekapo for one night and were unable to re book our experience but were advised that a full refund would be made. This was completed following an emailed enquiry to the tour organisers.

Excellent and very knowledgeable, gave us big warm coats, small group max 10 people. Surprisingly they offered us a full refund as clear to start with but sadly after 30 minutes it clouded over, expecting maybe partial refund. Would recommend to all

Latest Questions about Stargazing Tours - Silver River (Lake Tekapo)
Is this Tekapo stargazing tour suitable for families with children under 5 years?
Comments
How much walking is involved in the Silver River stargazing tour in Lake Tekapo?
Comments
There is no strenuous walking involved in this Lake Tekapo stargazing tour. You will check in at the office of Silver River in Tekapo and here they will shuttle you to the stargazing location. The site itself has relatively even ground and is quite flat as it is located in a field just outside of Tekapo township.
Is it possible to see the southern lights on a Lake Tekapo stargazing tour in New Zealand?
Comments
While this would be the perfect location for seeing the Southern Lights as the tour is located in our very own Dark Sky Reserve, unfortunately the lights can't be tracked and it is impossible to give a yes or no answer as the geomagnetic storms are very unpredictable. Ultimately you will get the full stargazing experience on this trip and the lights would be an added bonus on the night. We recommend downloading an aurora app while you are visiting New Zealand, which can help you track geomagnetic storms.

Families are welcome on the Silver River stargazing tour, please just let us know if a child under 5 is attending, so the tour guides are aware. Please note that many stargazing tours operate in the late evening, as this is when the stars are at their best.
