Share LinkSuper nice
Very good experience! Few reasons: -polite and warm welcoming, nice staff -they proposed me to go on an earliest tour where so seat were still available, without charging the price difference -a view of a lot of constellations, nebula and stars (shown on the sky or in the telescope where you can see so much details) for a very affordable price -help to take moon photos through the telescope and they take a photo of you with an amazing sky behind for the souvenir

Share LinkGreat Night
Amazing experience, incredible views and awesome knowledge from the guide. My advice would be to wrap up warm, and wear warm shoes...or you're feet will get numb. Tekapo is amazing, and this evening was just the icing on the cake A+

Hi Heather, thanks for taking the time to give Silver River Stargazing a review! Your advice is very sound, it's getting cold in Tekapo & with winter being the best time of year for stargazing we highly recommend you come prepared, it's worth it!

Share LinkSouthern Light!
Was a very good tour. The guide showed good knowledge of the stars and explained the different constellations. The best thing however was that we were lucky to experience the southern light! It looked supergreat on the free pictures that were made!
