Reviews: New Zealand Lake Tekapo 90-minute Chameleon Stargazing Tour for 14 People with Professional Telescope
Guest User2025-11-13
It was a fantastic experience. The teacher's explanations were very engaging, and I learned a lot. I learned how to identify the Southern Cross, Alpha Beta Centauri, and that the brightest star is Sirius. Gazing at the starry sky and listening to the explanations, and afterwards enjoying hot chocolate and roasted marshmallows, plus a group photo under the stars, it was all unforgettable.★

Reviews: Queenstown to Christchurch via Mt Cook One-Way Tour
Guest User2026-01-10
Joe and Jay were fantastic drivers and very helpful along the way. They were very patient with the diverse group of travelers who were always late or had some issue. Very kind of them. I mainly booked this as a transport from Quernstown to Christchurch so it definitely met the mark, the whole “Mount Cook” visit is a bit confusing. You just roll up to this place and then they say “OK you can go hike for 3 hours and meet back here.” It was raining and I wasn’t hiking anywhere but the cafe at the hotel was nice. Unfortunately weather didn’t allow for any helicopter rides which I planned to do. Overall good trip.★

Reviews: Christchurch round-trip + Aoraki / Mount Cook + Lake Tekapo + Church of the Good Shepherd + Lake Pukaki 1-day tour
Guest User2026-01-06
It was a fantastic English-language day tour with friends from all over the world on board. The drivers were from Nepal, the US, and New Zealand. They were very friendly and professional. The journey was quite tiring, but Ye kept chatting with us, making us feel less lonely. Although the itinerary was rushed, it was still very fulfilling, and we visited all the places we wanted to see.★

Reviews: From Tekapo: Small-Group, Carbon Neutral Mt Cook Day Tour
Guest User2025-11-12
Highly recommended. Our driver Nick is nice and has passion for introducing the lakes and mountains. The hiking is easy to handle even for a senior lady. The lunch bag is amazing, the bakery that Nick went pick up before the trip is delicious and fresh. The sightseeing is memorable and the trip is comfy.★

Reviews: Tekapo Shuttle: Mt Cook Day Tour via Pukaki & Tasman Lake
Guest User2026-01-16
A really enjoyable day! We visited a couple of lookout points and the Mount Cook visitor centre on the way to Tasman Valley where we had enough time to visit the Tasman Glacier View, the Blue Lakes and the Tasman River. We then went to the Hooker Valley trail and were able to do another walk of choice before being picked up and heading back to Tekapo (where we stopped at a lavender farm and a salmon shop on the way). There were 15 of us and the group was a mix of solo travellers and pairs/groups. Felt like the right amount of time at each place.
