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.

    Perfect trip An amazing excursion. Such good value, fantastic communication from the booking agent, very clear. The captain Patrick was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip very special. He arranged certificates for my boys and let them steer the boat. We saw lots of whales and they came very close to the boat of their own choice. The lunch stop was great and the snorkeling was fab.

    Nicht 08/15 Das Boot war sehr gepflegt. Die Aufteilung, das Platzverhältnis mit den anderen Touristen war sehr gut und nicht beengend. Das Essen( Paella und Hähnchenbrust) war noch warm und sehr lecker. Zudem gab es gekühlte Getränke alkoholisch und alkoholfrei nach Wahl und soviel man mochte. ein tolles Highlight neben den gesehenen Delphinen war das Schwimmen im Meer! Die Reise / das Event ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung.

    Must do excursion A must do excursion! The rep we booked it through at Tenerife first excursions was really helpful and informative. Not pushy at all! The boat trip was so good! The captain was also super friendly and made everyone feel very welcome and at home and shared lots of facts about the dolphins/ whales and the sea. Very interesting. The sunset was also beautiful! So happy we chose to do this tour! It made our holiday!

    A big thank you to Tenerife First Excursions and a special mention to Lisa Fay for being absolutely brilliant in helping us book our activities! From start to finish, Lisa was very attentive and knowledgable- not just about the activities but the whole island itself! We instantly felt very comfortable and confident with the bookings we made! She reiterated that if we had any issues with our activities, Tenerife First Excursions would do whatever they can to find a resolution which was very much appreciated! The best surprise was that we booked the same boat trip on the same day as Lisa!- and so the party and fun continued and we had the best day with Lisa and her family. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Tenerife! ❤️❤️
