Kia Ora Chloe, Thank you very much for your kind words and for recommending our activity. It was a pleasure to have you and your family on one of our tours. Akaroa Stargazing team
At the top of a very long and winding road we reached our destination. Thrilled that it was clear enough to proceed with the astronomy lesson / star gazing we were so excited. We were a small group of 6 - and loved the intimacy we were able to have with Luca. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about teaching and guiding us. No question was a stupid question. He thought of everything providing blankets, amazing telescope, binoculars, seats and warm tea on a very chilly night. We all truly enjoyed our experience and woul;d highly recommend this evening activity.
Kia Ora Debbie, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! Having you guys on our tour and answering the questions you had about our universe has been an absolute pleasure. Akaroa Stargazing team.
Luca was a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable. We had a lovely clear night after a cloudy and raining day, so we were very lucky. Loved learning about our solar system and the Milky Way - Luca‘s enthusiasm for astronomy was infectious, and he kindly allowed us to photograph the moon through his telescope. Would highly recommend.
Kia Ora Cindy, The weather is always so changeable but luckily the clouds disappeared just in time for our tour. Thank you for your kind words and recommending us. Akaroa Stargazing team.
Tour guide was very friendly, passionate and knowledgeable. Even though we had quite a few clouds all of the sudden we saw mars, jupiter and it's moons and had a closeup of the full moon. Even without the sights, the information and stories from the tour guide alone made it worthwhile. A fun and new experience for us!
Kia Ora Timo, Thank you for joining our Night Awe, stargazing tour. What a tricky night we had indeed but we are glad you enjoyed it nevertheless! Enjoy the rest of your Honeymoon discovering New Zealand. Akaroa Stargazing team
We had an amazing tour with Luca, who told interesting stories about the sky in a funny way, with plenty of time to look at the stars and moon whilst staying warm with a cup of tea
Kia Ora Frank, We are pleased to read you had a great time learning and observing our Southern Skies. Thank you for your feedback. Akaroa Stargazing team
