This experience is spectacular. More than five stars - billions!! Location is perfect; Luca even more so. He imparts his extensive knowledge and thoughts in a wonderfully warm way. Luca is a great communicator and lovely storyteller. I and my eight-year-old mokopuna really enjoyed our tour among the stars.
I went with my friends and we had a fantastic time! We visited during the new moon, so we were treated to an incredibly clear night sky, making the whole experience even more magical. Luca is such a friendly host, and his passion and knowledge really shone through. The experience was engaging, informative, and easy to follow, even for those of us with very little prior knowledge of astronomy. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a memorable evening under New Zealand's beautiful night sky!
Kia Ora, Thank you so much for the fantastic review and recommendation! We are so glad you and your friends had such a magical time with us. Visiting during the new moon is a great choice, you truly get the darkest skies and the best views of the stars! We take a lot of pride in making astronomy fun, clear, and engaging for everyone regardless of their background, so it’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the evening. Thanks for joining us under the stars, and we hope you all keep looking up! Akaroa Stargazing team
The highlight of our time in Akaroa! Luca shared his knowledge in such an accessible and entertaining way. Our teenagers enjoyed it as much as we did and we all learnt so much. Highly recommend!
Kia Ora Kirsten, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and high recommendation! We are absolutely delighted to hear that our tour was the highlight of your time in Akaroa. Keeping teenagers as engaged and entertained as the adults is always a win in our book! We love making the mysteries of the universe accessible and fun for all ages, so it’s awesome to hear your whole family had such a great time learning together. Thanks for joining us under the stars, and we hope you all keep looking up! Akaroa Stargazing team
A fantastic experience! Luca is super knowledgeable, we had a great time learning about stars and the solar system. Thanks again!
Kia Ora Chris, Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on your experience with us. We are glad to hear you had a great time and learnt a lot! We wish you all the very best for your future stargazing adventures. Akaroa Stargazing team
Staff was super knowledgeable, and explained things well for our first stargazing experience. We absolutely loved it, especially looking through the telescope and seeing pictures afterwards of what we talked about. They made the experience very comfortable with blankets, hot drinks and comfy chairs. The rest of our honeymoon, my husband and I kept finding stars that we learned about during this experience.
Kia Ora Ivy, Thank you so much for the lovely review, and a huge congratulations on your honeymoon! We are absolutely thrilled that we could be a part of your trip and that you loved your first stargazing experience. It's awesome to hear that you kept finding the stars we talked about throughout the rest of your travels—that is exactly what we hope for! We're also glad the blankets, hot drinks, and chairs kept you comfortable, and that you enjoyed checking out the telescope photos afterwards. Wishing you both many more clear skies and happy adventures together! Akaroa Stargazing team
Unfortunately we experienced a cloudy night so were unable to see a great deal. A partial refund was offered, as yet unsure how much. Our host was friendly and informative. We felt the price was excessive considering what we got out of the night. Be careful booking through trip advisor as the default currency advertised is in $US which makes it seem cheaper till final payment.
Kia Ora, Thank you for your feedback. It’s always a shame when the clouds don't fully play along, but we’re glad you still found the tour friendly and informative. Regarding your refund: we authorized the partial compensation with your booking agent the day after you experience. Third-party platforms can take up to 10 working days to process funds, so we recommend contacting them directly if it hasn't appeared by next week, as the final transaction is outside our power. We also appreciate the heads-up about the TripAdvisor currency display, it’s a helpful reminder for other travelers to check their settings before booking. We hope you get a perfectly clear night somewhere on your travels soon! Akaroa Stargazing team
My partner and I had an amazing experience with Luca, Manon and the rest of the team at Akaroa stargazing. When I contacted them explaining how I wanted to propose to my now fiancée, they went above and beyond with their support and planning. Unfortunately the night we planned was very cloudy, and they offered a reschedule but we still decided to give it a go that night. Luca was very interactive with us and full of so much knowledge of the sky and space, which was very interesting to learn about. Then he took us to the perfect photo spot to give me the chance to propose, and the photos came out amazing, with the stunning lights of Akaroa behind us. He even gave us different backdrops for some nice couple photos as a souvenir of our special trip. And despite there unfortunately being no stars during the stargazing, as we were returning to our car, Luca pointed two stars that had come out from behind the clouds, and in some sign of fate, the constellation was called the Ring of the Maiden! What’re the odds! Thanks so much for all of your effort! And I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone coming to Akaroa. 1000/10. :)
Kia Ora! Huge congratulations to you both! It was a true honor for all of us to be part of your story and help plan such a special milestone. Even with the clouds, seeing Spica, the ring on the finger of the Maiden, pop out right at that moment felt like total fate! We’re so glad you went for it anyway and that you have those photos with the Akaroa lights to look back on. Wishing you both a wonderful future together! Akaroa Stargazing team
Perfect weather! Clear sky on a not too cool night. Pitch black except some light pollution from Christchurch in the low sky. It didn’t affect our gazing at all. We intentionally chose a time as far away from a full moon as possible due to our trip flexibility. Although that would have been good too. Luca shared his passion, great discussions on the sky/stars/planetary/constellations/zodiac constellations/galaxies. Why do we need light fixtures that light up areas we have no need of seeing? Waste of energy and environmentally harmful - we learned a lot! Picture file provided of our observations after the event with codes, if we want to view elsewhere with our own equipment - someday! Admission competitive. Group size perfect for everyone. Length ideal….crept quietly back into camp after 1:00 am.
Kia Ora, Thank you for the kind review! We are pleased you enjoyed your time with us and that you learned so much during the tour. Fighting light pollution is something we are very passionate about, so we're glad that message resonated with you. It’s also great to hear that you appreciated the small group size and the length of the experience. We are happy you enjoyed the photos we shared, and we wish you clear skies for all your future observations! Akaroa Stargazing team
Weather-wise, we had a good night -- reasonably cloud-free. Wonderful naked eye views of the Milky Way and the Southern Constellations. Several telescope sightings of various nebula, galaxy clusters, and Jupiter (bands were visible). Both Lucas and Manon extremely knowledge and gracious hosts. Luca helped me with some camera settings -- and the quality of the photos improved vastly. Info to use on my next stargazing adventure. Well worth the time and money! But dress warmly! My mistake was not wearing a good base layer.
Kia Ora, Thank you for the fantastic review! We are so pleased the weather played along for those Milky Way views and that you enjoyed seeing the bands of Jupiter through the telescope. We also really appreciate the honest tip about the base layers. Those clear Akaroa nights can get quite crisp, so we're glad the knowledge and passion from Luca and Manon made the chilly evening well worth it in the end. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you back here next time you're in town! Akaroa Stargazing team

Kia Ora, Thank you for the fantastic 10/10 review! We are so pleased you enjoyed the incredible sights we have here in Akaroa. Sharing our passion for the stars is what we love most, and it's great to hear that the equipment and the guide helped bring the universe to life for you. We’re also glad the hot tea and blankets kept you cozy while you were learning! Thanks for joining us for such a memorable night. Akaroa Stargazing team
