Beschrijving
Join a guided stargazing experience in Lake Tekapo's Dark Sky Reserve. Use top-notch telescopes to see the highlights of the Southern night sky, enjoy hot chocolate and get your keepsake photo.
Meet your guide at an exclusive lakefront site inside the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve. Join a small group of 10 guests for your stargazing journey led by an astronomy guide with 12 years of professional guiding experience and training from observatories in Chile's Atacama Desert.
With the naked eye, pick out the Milky Way, neighboring galaxies, and thousands of stars. Listen as your guide brings the sky to life with multicultural stories passed down through generations, from how Pacific wayfinders navigate vast oceans by starlight to legends of the constellations from cultures around the world.
Then, look deeper. Using a Celestron CPC Deluxe 925 HD - one of the best-performing telescopes in its class - plus a state-of-the-art smart telescope, see the Moon, planets, nebulae, star clusters and distant galaxies in extraordinary detail and vivid color.
Settle into a comfortable moon chair under a fleece blanket, warm up with hot chocolate, and finish the night with a photo of your party set against the star-filled sky to take home.
