The ultimate in stellar relaxation, Tekapo Star Gazing is the only guided stargazing and hot pools tour in New Zealand! It combines the stunning Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve with the soul-warming hot pools of Tekapo Springs. A 1.5-hour experience, the first half of the tour begins with an introduction to the night sky using high-powered telescopes and a fascinating combination of astronomy and storytelling. The second half is spent floating in our 37.5-38.5 degree hot pool on inflatable hammocks, gazing up at the night sky as our guides continue to entertain with cultural and scientific stories of the sky. The tour includes complimentary towels, robes and hot drinks.

Great experience. The moon was a little too bright and caused poor conditions for star gazing. However what we could see was explained and shown to the group effectively. The dip in the hot pools with more info about the stars and random interesting facts was great. I'd suggest it for anyone. Although make sure the moon is not on the way to becoming full.
Great tour with José

Absolutely amazing journey with Jose as our guide. Very well versed in Incan history (as a history nerd myself). Very personable and made our afternoon a pleasure. Would highly recommend this company and José whilst in Cusco!

Not a good experience. Was not cancellable or re-bookable despite zero visibility. Cancel button would not work and no sympathy on phone. Don't trust these people!

Fantastic and unique experience, almost spiritual and definitely out of this world. The guides are all terrific, friendly and knowledgeable. Go if you are seeking a beautiful, quiet, informative and commune with nature type of experience

The tour was ok, but I could have just gone out to a field and seen the same thing for free. The guide said a few inaccurate things and only pointed out one southern constellation. She was easily distracted and not particularly knowledgeable. There were telescopes set up to look at 4 different objects. That was good, but our tour guide did not know how to set them up. The hot springs were nice, but are also available without the tour.
