Hi Thijs, thank you for taking the time to give Silver River Stargazing a review. We are very pleased you enjoyed your tour & that you were lucky enough to experience the Southern lights! We hope to see you again in the future! Kind Regards Lake Tekapo Farm Tours
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!
Hi Wai Ting, thank you for taking the time to give Silver River Stargazing a review! Glad you enjoyed your experience with us & hope to see you again.
Hi Kartik, Thank you for your review, we do find it strange that you have mentioned 'houses' in the vicinity of our stargazing site. Our stargazing site is on a large golf course, down in a bunker that was build into the ground of the golf course specifically designed to offer 360 degree reviews of the sky with no light pollution. I'm am wondering if the house lights you are talking about where on your drive to & from the stargazing site. Yours is the first review we've had since we have been open, talking about 'house lights' detracting from the sky views hence my response questioning if this was travelling to & from the actual stargazing site.

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!
