Latest Questions about Stargazing Tours - Silver River (Lake Tekapo)

Hello,
We'll be traveling to NZ in August and are wondering if this tour is at a time where it may be possible to see the southern lights. I'm sure it's weather permitting but I didn't see any reference to it on the description so I wanted to double check.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks so much for your enquiry into the Silver River Star Gazing tour in Lake Tekapo! 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 you a yes or no answer as these are geomagnetic storms and are very unpredictable. Ultimately you will get the full star gazing experience on this trip and the lights would be an added bonus on the night.  I would recommend downloading Aroura Apps that can help you track the Geomagnetic storms to give you an idea if this would be possible during your visit
