Excellent
Even though the weather wasn’t great, the team made the whole experience really enjoyable! They were super friendly and shared lots of interesting info throughout the tour. The hot chocolate was amazing, and roasting marshmallows over the open fire was such a fun touch. I was also pleasantly surprised to get a partial refund since the skies weren’t very clear — that was really thoughtful. All in all, I’d totally recommend this tour. It was such a lovely experience despite the weather!

Amazing! I learned a lot!
The Californian giving the tour new a lot and seemed to be enjoying sharing knowledge with us. It was super cold, but we were given huge cozy blankets and hot chocolate. The telescopes being aimed let me see things that I never would have gotten to see on my own. Amazing! Great starter southern hemisphere star gazer activity.

Kia Ora Hollis, thank you for choosing us as your stargazing buddy, and we're excited to learn that you'd a stellar experience! There's always so much more to learn from and we hope this would be a great opportunity for everyone to slowly reconnect with the universe, to be in awe of their hidden gems, as seen through our telescopes. We hope to see you again soon :D

超赞的观星之旅
来到Tekapo，一定要观星啊，Chameleon stargazing tour是个超棒的选择，小团还有10点和晚上12点的选择，George有丰富的天文知识，可以解答我们的全部问题，也会根据当天晚上星空拓展很多天文知识。还有热巧克力和烤棉花糖给大家取暖，更棒的是一张观星照片留念！记得冬天来可以更好的看到银河，当然也更冷哈。有苦才有甜呀～镇上也有别的观星团，但有些要提前太久报名，在我不确定行程的时候，这很难。
