โ โ โ โ โ An excellent 90 minute tour of the skies. I liked the fact you have a location close enough to town but dark enough to really see the skies so no time wasted travelling. The guides were very informative and knowledgeable and gave everyone ample time on the telescope to see the galaxies. The group was under 10 people so perfect. It's a life time experience to see the Milky Way so bright in all its glory. Thank you.

โ โ โ โ โ We had a great time here and the tour is certainly worthwhile. Fraser is very knowledgeable and more than willing to share with you. We enjoyed being able to set up our own cameras and with some help we got some pretty amazing photos too. We would certainly recommend.

โ โ โ โ โ Wow!
I did the Astrophotography tour with Fraser & Xavier last night and it was the highlight of my trip so far. These guys have a brilliant setup just out of town with zero direct light pollution. All the gear you could imagine and they are prepared to customise the tour to pretty much what ever you're interested in shooting (groups are up to 4 people max).
Despite some stronger than desired winds and a few clouds we managed to get some great images of nebula and galaxies as well as some great night sky panoramas, timelapses and star trails.
If you're a photographer with any interest at all in photographing the night sky this tour is worth every penny!

โ โ โ โ โ An awesome evening.
Were given very warm jackets to wear over our existing jumpers, and were then transported the 5-10 minutes drive to their viewing area.
It was setup already with an 85x zoom telescope, and we were delighted with the details provided and the viewing we received.
We went on the 11pm trip, and all the kids loved it.

โ โ โ โ โ My friend and I had a lovely time! We were in a small group of 7 and had Marklin as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining, especially during a tired time (our tour was at 2am). Highly recommend him as a guide. We went on a full moon and were able to capture great photos through the telescope.
The tour is sectioned into three parts- first section is looking at constellations through the naked eye, second we looked through the telescope at a few different spots in the sky, then we took photos!
Overall amazing experience and great company to stargaze with.

โ โ โ โ โ UPDATED: Refunds for a cancellation were very slow. We were told 7-10 days to refund via PayPal, and we heard nothing from the cancelation date for approximately 20 days despite follow-up emails and phone calls. Also, you can book via credit card, but they won't refund your card. After 21 days I received my refund and an offer for a free tour were I to return to Takapo.

โ โ โ โ โ Failed to do this due to weather conditions for at least three times, but they always proceed refund directly! Finally done this in April, 2022. Had an amazing night, will definitely recommend friends do stargazing trip with them!

โ โ โ โ โ Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, she said she learned on the job. It was a quarter moon so though it seemed like the sky was just as dark in the north island it was great to learn some about the stars. We also got the opportunity to see the moon, some very bright stars, Milky Way strand, and some shooting stars. Blankets, warm jackets and chairs provided. Recommend going a couple jacket sizes larger to fit your other clothes over. Wear warm socks and shoes. My feet were the only cold thing.
