Amazing Experience - I never knew you could actually see the sun through a telescope, or that something like this even existed— all thanks to Luca! He was proactive, keeping us informed about the weather conditions and accommodated us in the next slot. His passion for stargazing really shines through, and he provided an experience that rivals the famous stargazing in Lake Tekapo. Whether it’s the Solar Explorer tour or the night stargazing, I highly recommend anyone in and around Akaroa to book these experiences. Luca’s enthusiasm and expertise make all the difference!
