VERY IMPORTANT (for guests booking a tour starting after midnight)
If you are booking a tour starting after midnight, please double check you selected the correct date. e.g. If your tour starts at 12:30am 1st Jan, it will happen on the night between 31st Dec and 1st Jan, so you will need to be in Lake Tekapo on 31st Dec. If you are not sure about the date and time, please send us an email.

The night sky is different every night, depending on weather conditions, moon phases, aurora activity, and the natural rotation of the sky. The photos displayed on our products are examples, and may not reflect the exact sky you will see during your session.
