Join us for a magical stellar evening with New Zealand’s only guided hot pools and star gazing experience!
Highlights
- Incredible dark sky hot pool experience!
- Fully guided stargazing tour
Soak In The Stars is a unique 90-minute stargazing experience at the renowned Tekapo Springs, combining the spectacular Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve with exclusive access to a relaxing hot pool.
In clear conditions, you'll begin with a guided exploration of Tekapo's breathtaking night sky, discovering stars, planets, galaxies and constellations through powerful telescopes and with the naked eye. If conditions aren't suitable for telescope viewing, your guide will instead take you on an immersive Virtual Reality journey through the southern skies. Featuring stunning 360° visuals, Māori star stories and incredible perspectives of the universe, this experience reveals celestial wonders that simply can't be seen through a telescope, offering a fascinating way to explore the cosmos regardless of the weather.
The experience continues with time to unwind in a soothing 38°C hot pool beneath the Dark Sky Reserve. Float in a hammock while your guide shares astronomy insights, cultural stories and highlights of the night sky overhead, creating a relaxing and memorable finale to your evening.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve is home to some of the clearest, darkest skies in the world and is the largest Dark Sky Reserve in the Southern Hemisphere.

From Stargazing & Hot Pool Experience - Tekapo Springs
Thanks so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the experience and the stories our guides shared about the constellations. Finishing the evening with a relaxing soak under the stars really is something special. We’d love to welcome you back again next time you’re in Tekapo. ✨

Once in a lifetime experience
Eine wunderschöne Erfahrung mit einem sehr freundlichen und alleswissendem Guide. Gemütlicher Start mit Kakao in Hütte, danach Sterne und Planete schauen durchs Teleskop und der Abschluss in den Hot pools - wo wir sehr lange bleiben durften - war das absolute Highlight. Riesige Empfehlung!

Tolles Erlebnis
Eine sehr sachkundige und kurzweilige Reise durch den abendlichen Sternenhimmel. ... und das anschließende Bad im grossen Hotpool mit Blick in den Sternenhimmel ist genial.

Ein magisches und einmaliges Erlebnis!
Diese Tour war eines meiner schönsten Erlebnisse in Neuseeland! Unser Tourguide war sehr nett und hatte uns so viel Wissenwertes und Interessantes zum Sternenhimmel auf der Südhalbkugel erzählt und gezeigt. Das Highlight war auf jeden Fall der zweite Teil, als wir ungefähr eine Stunde in den Hot Pools entspannen und den wunderschönen Sternenhimmel auf uns wirken lassen konnten. Ein einmaliges Erlebnis, das ich so schnell nicht mehr vergessen werde! Das ganze Team war supernett und das Ambiente die ganze Zeut über so magisch und friedlich zugleich. Ich kann diese Tour nur jedem weiterempfehlen!

Unfair und völlig unkorrekt
Sehr schlecht .wor hatten an diesem Tag echt Sturm und alles so bewölkt und ich fragte ob sie es absagen ? Aussage: nein wir machen es mit einer vr Brille indoor .....ok da the ich mir ...denn kam aber eben dazu das wir so heftig Sturm hatten und auch die hot Pools nicht nutzbar waren . Trotzdem wurde es nicht abgesagt .fazit :sie konnten keinerlei angebotene Dinge erfüllen und ich habe mein Geld auch nicht wieder bekommen als ich anfragte .also ich würde da selber niemals wieder buchen auch nicht wenn wir das beste Wetter hätten !

Tolle Erfahrung
Es war ein tolles Erlebnis den Sternenhimmel in so einzigartiger Pracht zu erleben. Die Guides führen einen toll durch die Sternenbilder und wirken sehr versiert. Das Bad im warmen Pool ist ein netter Abschluss mit einem weiteren tollen Blick auf den Sternenhimmel. Sehr zu empfehlen und bei der nächsten Gelegenheit machen wir es bestimmt wieder.
