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.

    Brilliant staff customer interaction and support I would absolutely recommend. The boat had about a dozen people on board, felt roomy and there was loads of room to move about. Fabrizio who led to the trip was the perfect host. He was interesting explained things well. His customer care was another level. Looking after our needs and also being super supportive, helping one of my 4 boys through sea sickness, supporting getting him swimming, praised the lad when he went swimming, and ultimately cured his sea sickness. If I come back to Tenerife, I'll book this trip again I highly recommend you do the same.

    Best advice and service to have a good time What a great experience we had! Thanks to Kim who's great knowledge of the trips helped us to decide and satisfy everyone's interests. We went to Loro park, Go Karting and all day tour to Teide, Masca, Icod and Gatachico. We had great time. Definitely can't recommend this company enough as the service was brilliant. Thank you for making our little holiday a great experience.

    Intimate boat for a family-friendly outing The cruise is on a small, intimate boat so we got up close and personal with the many dolphins that we saw. Once we found a huge pod of dolphins, the captain stopped the boat and we were able to just hang out for awhile as the dolphins frolicked around us. My family and I couldn’t wipe the smiles from our faces if we tried! We also caught sight of a couple of whales which was just such a bonus. The cruise includes a sandwich but this isn’t really needed. I think a small offering of nuts/meats/cheeses would have been fine or even no food at all.

    17 delighted friends We had a wonderful experience - we saw plenty of dolphins and whales. The team in the boat was very nice. We were 17 and they guided us and advice us. They were agile with us as well - we changed our mind and they were very nice. The team was incredible especially Maddie. I do recommend them highly
