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.

    Buggie tour We zijn bij het hotel opgehaald door de lieve mensen van de buggies, netjes uitleg gekregen over de veiligheid van de buggies etc... daarna snel de weg op richting de vulkaan, prachtige omgeving en super leuk om zelf te mogen rijden. Fantastisch uitzicht en een mega leuke ervaring. We kregen uitleg over de vulkaan en de omgeving, na de dag zijn we weer netjes bij het hotel gebracht. Super!

    Memories for a lifetime with Night Skies Tenerife Night Skies Tenerife gave us the most amazing experience on Tenerife! You get so much more with this tour than you’d think from the Trip Advisor explanation - least of not is the energy of Craig and the knowledge of Kieran. Between dinner and star gazing we saw an amazing sunset over La Palma from the Corona forest, complete with Cava and photographs by Craig. Craig helped us learn all about the island on the way to the sunset spot and to the star gazing spot, which my husband and I loved. Once we arrived for star gazing, Kieran helped us learn all about our solar system, the life cycle of stars, and the constellations while allowing us to see what he was teaching through the microscope (we even got to see two deep space galaxies!)Do not miss this experience when you’re on the island, but do specifically book Night Skies. Their service and knowledge (including giving you the photos they take for free and not charging for them at the end of the night) cannot be beat.Thank you for adding this amazing experience to our honeymoon Kieran, Craig, and the full night skies crew!
