Incredible
The experience was amazing! Our guide Roslyn was so informative and delivered it in such an engaging way. We were so lucky to have such a clear night and even got to see the southern lights by total chance. The sky was incredible and we learnt lots about the stars and the telescope set us gave us some amazing views which were explained to us.

Five Stars to the Team
We were in Tekapo for three nights and booked the Alpine stargazing tour for our second night there. It got canceled due to bad weather and full refund given. The following evening weather was starting to look up better but turned for worse couple of hours before our scheduled time at 1:30 am. The team was extremely proactive and offered to take us a) free cancellation or rescheduling OR b) taking our chances by going ahead with the tour but offering full refund if views were not good. Unfortunately the views were not great but our guide shared great insights about astronomy and the area. We came back early a bit disappointed with “our stars” but elated with the service level from the team. Cancellation and full refund email followed shortly… Thanks!!

Hi Atul, Thank you for sharing your experience. While we're sorry the weather didn’t cooperate, we’re glad our team’s efforts and the guide’s insights made a positive impression. We hope you’ll visit us again in the future—hopefully under clearer skies! Best wishes, Silver River Stargazing Team

Great Team, Thoughtful Service Despite the Weather
Big thanks to the team for letting us come earlier than our scheduled session to improve our chances of seeing the stars! We drove up to the viewing site first, but it was too cloudy, so they had to cancel the tour. Luckily, they gave us a full refund with no fuss. We still decided to stay for a bit and managed to catch a few stars later on. Shoutout to Kieran for sharing so much interesting info—it made the experience even better! Great service and super accommodating team—would definitely recommend!
