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: Mount Cook: 3-Hour Tasman Glacier Helicopter Ride and Hike
Guest User2026-01-08
Once in a life experience. This activity might feel expense, but it's totally worth it. Kirsten our guide was wonderful and took great care of us and the group. We were able to get all the gear required for the hike and loved every moment of it. This is a must do activity!★

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: 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.★

Icebergs, pure clean lakes, freezing wild winds and getting wet as we traipsed to Tasman glacier. They provided poncho and umbrella and great commentary!★
