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。

Lucky

We really enjoyed the tour and were lucky to see both Saturn & Jupiter. George was a great host, providing blankets, hot chocolate and marshmallows to roast, while being informative and entertaining. Nice to have a great photo to keep as well - thank you! Would definitely recommend!
