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.

    Knowledgeable advisors Thanks to Lisa for suggesting Night Skies Tenerife. It was a really good tour especially as we were reluctant to do a stargazing tour again after a disappointing experience a few years ago.

    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.

    A fantastic boat trip out to see whales We were interested in taking some excursions but didn’t really know what we wanted. Daniel went through options thoroughly ggwithout being pushy and we settled on a whale and dolphin boat trip. It was a wonderful experience. Just 9 of us on the boat in total. We saw whales and sea turtles and then stopped for a swim near a lovely little beach. A perfect addition to any holiday and definitely worth every penny.

    Très bonne excursion en quad au teide, le coucher de soleil est superbe. Superbe excursion au teide en quad, très bien encadrée. Le coucher de soleil est magnifique et la conduite en quad est agréable. Le petit goûter, les photos et le service de taxi sont un plus appréciable. Petite pensée à Federico, merci pour ta bonne humeur mon ami, très professionnel et on a pu bien rigoler avec toi. Je recommande fortement
