Stunning!
We had an incredible time — the sky was perfectly clear, and the Milky Way shimmered above us with the stars lighting up the night. Our tour operator and guide, Mary, looked after us from start to finish and shared so many interesting insights that made the experience even richer. We even came away with an amazing Milky Way photo. It’s absolutely freezing out there, even with all the provided gear, so be sure to bring warm layers and sturdy footwear.

Awesome Stargazing
We had a great time on our stargazing trip! Our guide was very informative and made our tour really memorable. We were amazing how many stars we could see and we would definitely do it again! Thank you!

Have had better
Went with friends for a birthday, have been on another Mackenzie star gazing tour which was miles better than this one. Presenter was a new staff member so some learnings required, not their fault. Chairs were not conducive for lying back looking at the stars, though the supply of warm jackets was welcome. Perhaps I have been spoiled with the previous tour I have done, felt a bit disappointed

Could do better!
A warm coat provided which was welcome. The guide was fairly new to the job and didn't have the best grasp of 1) English and 2) the sky. More learning required for both aspects. Check out the seatbelts on the bus and make sure they are in good working order, don't just tell people to hold onto something - think public liability. Chairs not suitable for stargazing. I had a sore neck the next day. Need a better way of lighting the path from the bus to the telescope area. Could be hazardous for older people. Overall, not that impressed. Glad I didn't pay full price, am struggling to justify discounted amount as it is. Need to do much better with the experience you provide.
