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.

    Excellent Customer Service We booked the Teide by night trip through Lorena at the new Las Américas office. Unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to cloudy conditions but Lorena processed our refund straight away with no hassle whatsoever. Hopefully we’ll get to rebook next time we’re back in Tenerife

    It was always our plan to purchase from Tenerife First Excursions after watching The Craicmaster since he very first started on YouTube. We popped down to Los Cris yesterday and we’re seen to by the lovely Sarah who done us a fab deal on 2 excursions. We left a deposit and came back today to pay the rest and to our surprise, look who we bumped into. The big man himself and not forgetting lovely Matty, safe to say this made our day and what a lovely genuine guy he is and all the staff are fab. We had a great chat and banter with everyone. Thank you everyone, it was great to meet you all!!!

    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😊!

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.

    Great service from Lisa. Booked two trips today with Lisa Fay, and what a great service she offered. Nothing was too much for her. I booked a private charter for the family and monkey park all done within 10 minutes. She even waited while the boss signed off on them ( the wife). Would highly recommend Lisa and the company for any excursions. Five Star service
