Excellent stargazing tour
We had a wonderfully informative evening with George last night. Very unique experience and thoroughly worth coming out late at night to learn more about the universe. Blankets, chairs, hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows made for a great evening. Thankyou for all your knowledge George shared so readily - very much appreciated.

Great tour
We had a great tour with George, it was all very organised and well prepared. We were able to see multiple objects in the sky using the telescopes and learned a bit more about the southern night sky! We enjoyed our hot chocolates and toasted marshmallows too :) Thanks for having us!

I wish I could put 6 stars!
An incredible experience with a fantastic guide! I highly recommend this place—it was one of the most fascinating things we did on the South Island. We even had marshmallows and hot chocolate! We attended the 9:00 pm session, and the sky was perfectly dark for stargazing.

Kia Ora, merci beaucoup for your 6-stars review ;D We're happy that you find this experience a great highlight in your trip! We loved dark skies and we hope that you'll be able to also advocate for more dark sky regions wherever you are at. In the meantime, stay curious and keep looking up!

Amazing experience
We loved our tour with Chameleon Stargazing at Lake Tekapo. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. They made our experience very fun and memorable, from the blankets, hot chocolate, and amazing views, it was perfect. We shared the picture they took from us with family and friends and they can’t believe that was what we actually experience.
