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.

    Awesome can’t recommend enough! Booked all of our excursions through LisaFay who was absolutely amazing. We booked Siam Park, the jet cars, the sunset quad trip and she chucked in free monkey park tickets which was brilliant as we was planning on going anyway! Can’t thank Lisa and the team enough we lost our tickets and she was amazing reassuring us that we could still complete the excursions and assured us that the tour providers were aware we would have photos of the tickets rather than the physical ticket. The sunset quad tour was absolutely breathtaking, we got picked up from our hotel fully safety briefed on driving the quads which was really helpful as we were both a little anxious due to never driving one before. As we drove up towards mount Teidi we stopped off at various different view points and were given water and snacks and then non-alcoholic Prosecco to watch the sunset. The guys that took us up who worked for Tenerife first quads were awesome giving us facts about the surroundings as we stopped. Can’t recommend this excursion enough to anyone visiting Tenerife. Thank you so much to the team at Tenerife first excursions enough for being so brilliant and will 1000 percent use them the next time we visit Tenerife!

    A brilliant well priced tour We booked the “ Premium All Inclusive Whale & Dolphin Watching Experience” with these guys and as soon as we had booked they were in communication detailing where to meet and what to bring. This was done by WhatsApp and email which worked really well.The yacht was lovely and we had around 11 people in our group so there was loads of room for us all to spread out.There are seats at the back of the yacht if you prefer or you can sit along the side and front to get the full experience.Our captain was wonderful, explained everything to us and we just chilled as we sailed out of the port.You definitely need sunscreen, you are provided with waters, sodas and beers with a sandwich if you want it.At first we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was amazing and then further out saw baby whales with their mom. Was incredible, I’ll never forget it.Then we sailed to a quiet cove where some people got in for a swim and we just caught some sun.Then a slow cruise back along the coast to port, all in all 3 hrs.Really recommend this cruise, was around €50 each and well worth the money.Will do another tour with them when we return to Tenerife.One thing; they were very clear at the start that We might not see everything and as it’s nature, that can’t be helped. Also you only stay near a group of animals for 5 mins before moving away which felt enough time to see them without it being too much.

    Car hire Lindsay was amazing when it came to finding us the perfect car for hire! We was a little apprehensive with it being our first time driving abroad and not knowing where to start but Lindsay secured us a fab deal! Original pricing was a little outside our budget range on site but Lindsay kindly enquired with several companies to get us the best deal, they even dropped the car off and will pick it up once finished. Again, Lindsay checked in with us following pick up to make sure everything was OK and gave us a few driving tips! Thanks again, will most certainly rent again on our next trip x

    Superb people with great knowledge We booked our trip to Tenerife and so followed a few people on social media to get the low down of things to do and places to go and these guys kept popping up so I had to use them for our tours. We stayed in Los Christianos so that was the office we used. I must say I wasn’t disappointed. They look after you at all times. Their knowledge is superb and Mark, Dan, Sarah, Dominika and Patricia are a great bunch of people. Any issues we had (which were few and far between), they helped us to sort it out. Half our our holiday budget was probably spent with these guys and I will use again in future no doubt. A shame Mattie couldn’t pop over for a photo but…….I absolutely love it!!! Collected all business cards so maybe that’ll be a new trend when I get a chance to make a TIK TOK video 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sure you guys know who I am by now 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Keep up the good work and I’ll see you guys again soon

    Très bonne expérience Je recommande vivement cette expérience ! Daniel et ses collègues étaient très sympathiques. Nous avons eu plein d’informations sur l’histoire des volcans et de l’île avec des touches d’humour. Les quads étaient amusants et pas difficiles à conduire. Les vues sont superbes, Daniel nous a fait de magnifiques photos du paysage et de couple.

    Wonderful time Mattie was amazing he managed to fit me and my wife in a day before, kept us up to date when the booking had to be cancelled due to bad weather conditions and slot us in again the next day. On the day of the quad bikes the staff there were very nice and spoke English which helped! The excursions itself was a very good experience and very informative. We really enjoyed the off road part of it. Also got mini pizzas at the end of it which was really nice. Thank you to everyone at Tenerife First Excursions!!

    Geweldige excursies! Tijdens onze zussen-vakantie hebben wij 2 excursies geboekt bij Tenerife First: quad tour in El Teide en kajakken/snorkelen met dolfijnen en schildpadden spotten. Daniel hielp ons goed met het uitzoeken wat we konden doen en raadde goede bedrijven aan. Wij hadden het kajakken geboekt bij Canary Kayak Tenerife waarbij het bedrijf werd gerund door een super lief koppel die ook foto’s en video’s namen van de excursie. Deze kreeg je achteraf ook via whatsapp doorgestuurd. Super leuk als herinnering! De quad tour door El Teide hebben we geboekt bij @quadebuggypiratitenerife. Marie, die onze tour begeleidde, is heel lief en heeft zo’n leuke vibe. Tijdens de tour zijn er een paar stops waarbij je kan genieten van het uitzicht en tijd hebt om foto’s te maken. Als je deze tour wilt doen raad ik je aan om het in de ochtend te doen omdat het in de middag te warm is.Thanks Daniel! Wij hebben een leuke vakantie gehad en hebben mooie herinneringen gemaakt :)

    Aanrader! Echt een aanrader om te doen! Naast het sterrenkijken ook zeer interessant om het eiland te verkennen en de leuke weetjes te leren kennen. Helaas hadden wij het op onze dag niet erg getroffen met het weer, waardoor het erg bewolkt was en we uiteindelijk niet de zonsondergang konden zien en heel weinig sterren. Daarnaast deden ze we wel alles aan om een plek op de bergen te vinden waar het minder bewolkt was, alleen helaas geen geluk. Maar alsnog zeker een aanrader om te doen!
