End the tour around a toasty fire, roasting marshmallows, enjoying an amazing night out with friends and family!
Absolutely amazing experience! Would highly highly recommend. George is incredible, and has such a vast knowledge. Definitely will do it again!!
We loved this stargazing tour! It was filled with expertise, stars, planets, and hot chocolate! You will have the best time. It was one of my favorite activities on our vacation. Such a treat, look no further!
George was a fantastic tour guide! If you are in Tekapo, this is a must do! The small group aspect of it was awesome, and the photos was such a nice touch. A great balance of stories, naked eye stargazing, and using the telescope. I will definitely be doing this again and recommending to everyone I know. Do yourself a favor and book with Chameleon!
Kia ora Abigail Thank you so much for recommending Chameleon Stargazing on Bookme, I am very happy to know you like my guiding, I try to balance naked eye, telescope , casual part, and weave stories together to make the tour to be interesting instead of overwhelming, it is great to know you like the style. You are always welcome back! Regards George
George is such a phenomenal tour guide and astronomer. This experience was better than what we had expected. The small group setting made us feel more comfortable to ask questions and George made sure to answer any questions we had. (Also the hot chocolate was sooo good!) Thank you so much George and we will come back to see more of our night’s sky.
Kia ora Criscell Thank you so much for your feedback, I am so happy to know the tour quality was exceed your expectation.

Wonderful experience
The guide George is exactly the person you want showing you around the night sky. He's funny, engaging, and knowledgable. It was VERY cold, so the fire and marshmallows were a treat. Thank you to George for a great evening.
