Star Gazing on Mt. Teide

Step into an evening above the clouds on this guided journey into the dramatic landscapes of Teide National Park, where volcanic terrain, high-altitude views, and some of the clearest night skies in the world come together in one unforgettable experience.

Description

Your evening begins with hotel pickup in South Tenerife and a relaxed drive up into the mountains. Along the way, your guide sets the scene with stories of Tenerife’s volcanic origins, local legends, and the powerful natural forces that shaped the island.

Dinner in the Mountains

High above sea level at Restaurante 7 Cañadas, you’ll pause for a relaxed three-course Canarian dinner with drinks included. Surrounded by vast lava fields and open skies, this is dining in one of Tenerife’s most striking natural settings.

Sunset Over a Floating Horizon

As the sun begins to drop, the landscape shifts into something almost otherworldly. From over 2,000 metres up, watch the famous “Sea of Clouds” roll beneath Mount Teide as the sky burns with colour. With a glass of cava or orange juice in hand, this is one of those moments that feels both still and cinematic at the same time.

Guided Stargazing in a World-Class Sky

When night settles in, the focus turns upward. With Starlight Certified guides leading the way, you’ll explore constellations, planets, star clusters, and distant galaxies using high-powered telescopes. The experience is designed to be both accessible and fascinating—blending astronomy, ancient mythology, and simple storytelling that brings the night sky to life.

If conditions allow, there’s also time to capture incredible night-sky photos, including the Milky Way stretching across the horizon.

An Award-Winning Night Experience

Consistently recognised with Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards over the past four years, this is one of Tenerife’s most highly regarded evening excursions—combining scenery, science, and atmosphere in a single journey.

    Amazing week in Tenerife, thanks to Sarah and her team ❤️ We booked all of our trips with Sarah. She was super friendly and felt like a friend. Because we booked quite a few activities we had a lot of money knocked off aswel. LORO PARQUE We did Loro Parque with coach transfer from Los Cristianos. The coach was about an hour and a half. The park itself was amazing. Our main reason for the visit was to see the Orca whales. They didn't disappoint. Beautiful animals. 😍 Note...the park doesn't sell bottles of anything, all drinks are in cans. SIAM PARK NIGHT We queued an hour for the new ride and then rode the lazy river and rapids for an hour. Spent an hour on the beach in the wave machines. Still extremely busy but not hot. Could see some children shivering. We left around 11pm and jumped straight into a taxi. KAYAK TOUR Both instructors were lovely. They take photos and videos and send them for free to your email. It's a long way to paddle to the fish farm but it was totally worth it! We saw turtles and about 15 dolphins swimming past us. Truly amazing. You get to snorkel in a cove which was fun, but the water is very choppy. Definitely take water and suncream. PARASCENDING We loved this! You get taken in a little motor boat to the boat in the ocean. You can't take anything with you for safety but it's all kept in lockers. They take photos which you can purchase for €20 afterwards. 10 minutes flying time and get dipped in the ocean on you way back in. It was so much fun. 15 year old son wanted to do this again! PARAGLIDING Amazing. I had the loveliest guy who talked me through everything. You have to wait at the top of the mountain for a while until the wind is in the right direction. Then you have to run (this was so funny) once you take flight you sit back and relax and take in the view. Again, they take photos and videos of you which you can purchase at the end (€45) The team were lovely and always available by WhatsApp if you have any questions. Thankyou so so much. We had an amazing week in Tenerife. We will book with you next time 🥰

    myself and my family have stayed in los cristianos for 14 days.
    in those days we had booked a few excursions
    the water park
    the zoo
    a boat trip.
    we rented a double scooter as im heavily pregnant.

    everything we booked we dealt with dan, nothing was too much trouble.
    i had a few problems with the scooter which needed to be swapped 3 times, dan personally took the scooter to the provider to make sure the next one we got was in working order, as i say nothing was too much trouble.
    we highly recommend ‘TENERIFE FIRST EXCURSIONS’
