Our guide William was more than helpful and friendly. His driving was very good and careful. His experience of the night sky was amazing.
looking at the sky at night was really amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We were offered hot drinks and a blanket throw, as the weather as you can imagine was extremely cold.

Thank you for sharing your experience! 🌌
It sounds like William made your stargazing tour truly memorable — from his careful driving to sharing his knowledge of the night sky. The hot drinks and blanket must have been a much-needed touch in that cold weather! It’s wonderful to hear you thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

A complete waste of money. I got scammed. I booked two events and they readjust their time, which made us missed the other schedule event. We didn't have any telescopes to see anything up close. The tour guide was nice. Not worth $100 to look at the sky. I could look at stars in my backyard for FREE. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Our stargazing experience is highly dependent on weather and natural conditions, which can sometimes affect visibility and the use of telescopes.
We appreciate your comments about the tour guide and will make sure they are passed along. Your feedback is valuable as we continue working to improve our tours and better set expectations for our guests.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

The sky was so clear, and the tour guide was amazing! He was funny and had great energy. We would absolutely do this again!!

DONT BE FOOLED! This tour consisted of sitting on a wet bench after hours at lake Minnewanka while the operator taught guests how to take photos of stars with a smart phone. It did not include the majority of items in the description that made it worth the fee: telescope, constellation facts, hot drinks, or an adequate quantity of vendor provided chairs. Furthermore, the location was not secluded nor is it a "hidden" gem - it is one of the most prominent lakes in the area. Finally the van is an unmarked white van, hard to recognize and certaintly seems like the vendor is ready to change names at any moment. The constant flashing of smartphones also spoiled the magesty of stars in the rocky mountains. This was an overpriced taxi.

Disorganized regarding pick-up time and spot causing a loss of 15 minutes of stargazing time. The spot we were taken to (to “stargaze”) had too much artificial light, including headlights from cars. The guide was not knowledgeable about astronomy and relied on an app.

This was AWESOME. We loved Two Jack Lake at sunset and how clear the sky was up at Lake Minnewanka. The clouds parted and we saw so many stars, constellations, planets and satellites. Even the International Space Station and Hubble Telescope. William helped with everything; setting up chairs for us, checking that we could see the stars, taking our pictures, providing water and even a yummy snack. The pick up and drop off was very smooth as well.

William truly goes above and beyond to make every detail special, and we’re glad his care and attention made your experience even better. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable adventure!

Beautiful 🤩 we saw the Northern lights! omg a rare-sighting this June. And most especially, our guide, William was so jolly and accommodating. 🙏 Thank you so much.

We were so excited for this tour and glad the rain cleared out. William was a great guide and took a lot of pictures for us. We were disappointed that many of the things advertised weren’t there. We had dressed warmly but not overly so because there were supposed to be blankets. No blankets. There were hot drinks advertised, but no drinks. There were chairs advertised, but these turned out to be one park bench, which had water all over it from the recent rains and no way to dry them off. Our 83- year- old mother spent a lot of time on the bus.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback and for giving us four stars.
We’re glad to hear that William was a great guide and helped capture wonderful memories with photos. However, we’re truly sorry to learn that some of the advertised amenities like blankets, hot drinks, and seating did not meet your expectations. Your comfort and satisfaction are very important to us, especially for all our guests including your mother, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused.
We appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention, as it helps us improve our service for future travelers. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide a flawless experience next time.
Thank you again for choosing us and sharing your thoughts.
