★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We arrived in torrential rain, so didn't see a single star. But the dark sky experience indoors was mind blowing. Awe inspiring tour of the Brashear telescope and passionate knowledgeable guides - ask for Safari, she's brilliant!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely loved this tour. The tour guides were so knowledgeable, answered everyones questions. I hung on their every word. They had so many interesting things to say, I could've listened to them all night. And the stars from the top of the mountain are STUNNING. Ive never seen so many stars in my life. And there were two galaxies visible which I've never, and will probably never, see again. And looking through the telescopes provided at different objects was incredible. Really a magical experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
It's nippy up the mountain so make sure to dress appropriately. I would recommend this to anyone!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did the Summit Experience in April 11pm. The shuttle bus ride is comfortable. The guides explained thoroughly what lights to use, the many facts and tips of the stars above. We took turns to peek into two telescopes with one inside an observatory building. Guides used lasers and red lights to point and guide our paths. Dress warm as this tour does not provide the extreme cold weather costs at the base building. Definitely recommended for astronomy buffs as these facilities are used for scientific research for the southern hemisphere.

We did an indoor tour and we learnt so much, so many wows and ahhhhhhs.
Loved learning about the constellations, matariki, southern cross and our milky way galaxy.
We also had dinner and cocktails here which was amazing.
The building is so impressive and all the staff especially Jenny were amazing ?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Came here after NYE. Clouds prevented us from doing the Summit experience at midnight, but we opted for the Dark Sky Project. This was really well done, and as an astronomy nerd myself, I can say the host really knew his material! Excellent!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did the crater star gazing experience. Highly recommend ?? My young kids were a bit tired (5 & 7?way over bed time), but they loved it and had a great learning experience... First time ever used the professional telescopes. The surface of the moon was bright and right in front of my eyes ? Amazing experience! The guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and great to listen to. Took a couple of photos with my phone (Followed the minimal light pollution rules)I have tried my best ?....
