5.00Our experience with Silver River Stargazing at Lake Tekapo was amazing. The team at Silver River were friendly and professional. Some of the stargazing experiences are late in the evening around midnight. I had misunderstood the booking date, But it was no trouble for the Silver River team to adjust our booking, The stargazing trip was led by an entertaining and informative guide. We enjoyed the experience. Being in the quiet and dark under the stars was amazing. Some tips: - check the date on your booking if the trip time is past 12 midnight - check messages from the Silver River team often in email although they did phone us - be patient with the weather, some did not diminish our experience
Beautiful starry sky, well cared for

5.00Well organized. With 30 people but on location in 3 groups of 10 tourists divided with their own guide who explained and also had their own telescope available. Explanation of the different stars and groups of stars. Being able to see with the naked eye and also through the telescope. And finally a personal photo with the starry sky in the background that we could download the next day. Those who wanted were given a warm coat to put on extra. It is useful to bring your own gloves if necessary because it is cold on location. Because clouds were forecast for us, we received an email a few hours beforehand saying that we would be notified at least 1 hour in advance if it did not happen.
Best star gazing experience

5.00This dark sky adventure must be done. Our host was excellent - knowledgeable and keen to answer questions. The views of the southern skies were incredible. There are other trips with bigger telescopes and larger groups. The group size was limited to eight which meant you didnt have to wait long to look through the telescope, and it was very relaxed.
A great way to see the night sky like never before

5.00The dark spot we were in was a great viewing spot to see the stars and galactic core. The team were knowledgeable and pointed out the various objects in the night sky. Despite the challenges the high winds threw up, our guide worked exceptionally to photograph our group before the storm rolled in.

5.00This experience honestly left me speechless. Obviously, I knew the sky would be beautiful, but I expected the educational side to be a bit “boring” – I was so wrong. Simon, our guide, made it engaging, fun, and absolutely unforgettable for everyone in our family (our 13 y.o son included)! What also makes this tour even more special is that it’s run on private land, so you’re not sharing the skies with a heap of other tour groups. It feels intimate and unique. ✨✨ It’s also the perfect amount of time (this tour runs for just 75 minutes which didn’t feel too long for our son) and digital photos you can download to your phone are included in the price. Tip: 👇🏻👇🏻 Arrive early to grab one of their big coats (free to hire!). We ended up wearing them over our own jackets, because it does get quite cold! 🥶
Do this tour!
