Highlights
- Incredible dark sky hot pool experience!
- Fully guided stargazing tour
Located at the renowned Tekapo Springs resort, the tour combines the spectacular Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve with exclusive access to a relaxing hot pool.
The journey begins with an outdoor tour where you’re introduced to the dazzling night skies of Tekapo – look through telescopes and learn about fascinating astronomy with your guide! In poor weather you’ll enjoy a customised Virtual Reality tour of Tekapo’s night skies with a unique blend of science and storytelling.
You’ll then enjoy exclusive access to our soul-warming 38℃ hot pool where you can relax on a floating hammock and marvel at the sparkling display of stars as you explore the wonder of Tekapo’s night skies. Your guide remains poolside to tell you more about the stars and share local stories.
The Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve boasts some of the clearest, darkest night skies in the world and is the largest reserve in the southern hemisphere.

Hot Pool + Stargazing
A must do experience if you're in queenstown. The guides were amazing and took us through the journey of stars post which we soaked in the hot pools to enjoy stargazing. Totally worth every penny.

If you're at Lake Tekapo, you MUST do this
Sitting on a floating hammock in a hot springs, gazing at the stars as clearly as you'll ever see them ! Excellent hosts also, with a wealth of knowledge. Get on it !

Weather didn't cooperate
Sadly the weather was not on our side and it was cloudy for our activity. Instead of outdoor stargazing we had vr headsets - which were quite lame as a replacement. Then we got to go in the hot pools for about 50mins. It was fun, just not really worth the price since we didnt get to do the main part.

Ok
Average experience- too expensive for what you get. Would not do it again, even with a clear sky. Guide has good knowledge, but bit hard too follow if you are not a native english speaker. Guest Service experience could be better I experienced some mansplaining. Not cool. Missing some female staff here as well.

Stargazing on Tekapo Spring
因天空不作美導致連一顆星星都看不到，但AR介紹及導覽員非常認真的介紹以及說明Tekapo跟Mackenzie的歷史跟有趣的事，值得一推
