Join us for a magical stellar evening with New Zealand’s only guided hot pools and star gazing experience.
Highlights
- Dark sky hot pool experience
- Fully guided star gazing
Located at the renowned Tekapo Springs resort, the tour combines the spectacular Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve with exclusive access to a relaxing hot pool.
The journey begins with an outdoor tour where you’re introduced to the dazzling night skies of Tekapo – look through telescopes and learn about fascinating astronomy with your guide! In poor weather you’ll enjoy a customised virtual reality tour of Tekapo’s night skies with a unique blend of science and storytelling.
You’ll then enjoy exclusive access to our soul-warming 38℃ hot pool where you can relax on a floating hammock and marvel at the sparkling display of stars as you explore the wonder of Tekapo’s night skies. Your guide remains poolside to tell you more about the stars and share local stories.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve boasts some of the clearest, darkest night skies in the world and is the largest reserve in the southern hemisphere.

Lucky us. Awsome experience!
We were so lucky to see the beautiful stars very clearly. We have no basic understanding of astronomy in fact so we didn't even know what the English guide talked about at the beginning😅 But fortunately, a Chinese guy came help us and introduced in detail. Very happy and satisfying experience anyway. Highly recommended.

Must Do Experience
Our guide Erin was lovely and passionate with lots of knowledge. Amazing opportunity to view the night sky away from all the hustle and bustle then relax over a hot spring. Very peaceful and beautiful.

Great night out.
Erin was a wonderful host. Warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. And thankfully didn’t mention coronavirus! Did feel rushed - even with the superb VR extra.

The stars at night
Beautiful night. Wonderfully knowledgeable staff. Relaxing in the pools and listening to the Maori legends was amazing. A romantic evening with the man I love. Would recommend to everyone. It puts your life and the universe into perspective.
