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.

    Holiday in Tenerife We booked a couple of activities to do on our holiday in Tenerife. A whale and dolphin boat trip, siam park and monkey park, all of them were amazing. We all loved the boat trip as we saw loads of whales and were able to go for a swim. Thank you to Tenerife excursions and Laura for arranging some lovely trips.

    Atlantic Rose We were out on the Atlantic Rose from Puerto Colon today. We had a great time on this yacht, just 10 of us, watching the bottle nosed whales drinking wine, eating scrummy baguettes and swimming. So relaxing. The skipper Jesus and co skipper Thomas really looked after us well. Happy to have been a part of this experience. Thanks Tenerife excursions for the recommendation.

    Amazing Service and experiences ! I Wouldn’t book with anyone else in Tenerife.We spoke to the lovely Lisa Fay who was friendly and professional throughout. Lisa was attentive with what we wanted to do and found the best excursions to suit us and our needs with amazing deals which you can’t find anywhere else on the island. I couldn’t recommend this company enough, so helpful and provide you with lots of information about each trip. 100% the highlight of the holiday, we will definitely be using them again without a doubt😊!

    Highly recommend After seeing them in tiktok we decided to visit to book our trip and they were so helpful and friendly! Really welcoming and no pressure, happy to chat and give tips and ideas. Think it was Richie that helped us at the las americas branch and he was a lovely guy. Our coach was modern and clean and not too busy and all went smoothly on the journey and during our visit to loro parque
