    Amazing night sky, very knowledgeable and friendly guide, great value for money, and leaving in awe of space and astronomy. I went with my girlfriend on a beautiful night where we saw Jupiter, shooting stars, Etu Carinae and some other star nurseries. It was full of amazing facts and we really enjoyed ourselves. He educated us on light pollution the effects it can have on the environment. We had blankets for when we got cold and seats to lie back on to look up at the stars. We even had a complimentary hot drink which was a nice touch even on a nice warmish night. I think this is a must do activity if you are in Akaroa overnight.

    Incredible experience! Luca is an amazing guide, and the tour is super well organised. We all had plenty of time on the telescopes and learned so much about the sky and the stars. There were blankets and hot tea to stay warm. The location requires little walking and is on safe grounds so accessible to all ages. A truly magical experience!!
