Join us for a magical stellar evening with New Zealand’s only guided hot pools and star gazing experience!
The stargazing was very informative with a small group it allowed for a good amount of time to view thru the telescope. Hotpools & facilities were amazing! Feedforward would be to showcase Aotearoa/NZ purakau/stories with correct pronunciation & info. Good attempt at including our stories but a gentle reminder to also uphold the mana of the purakau by using correct info. It's what makes us unquie, tourist & Maori will appreciate the cultural component. There are amazing purakau resources online now or ask local iwi if they can share with you their local stories. Even if you played a recording it would still uphold the mana of the people & whenua/land.
We lucked out with the clouds moving off and had a wonderful night of looking at constellations and stars and eventually soaking in the hot springs. It was a fun night learning new things and getting to relax at the same time. I do recommend!
Were welcomed with much needed hot chocolate. Watched an informative slide show presentated by Eric. Went outside to beautiful clear starry night. Watched the stars though an impressive telescope while listening to various information about certain stars. Got into the Hot Springs pools. Gazed at the stars while Eric to us more star facts.
We had a lovely night soaking in the Tekapo hot springs whilst learning about and looking at the stars.
