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.

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.

    Merece la pena Magnífica travesía. Vimos delfines y calderones aunque lo que te tiene que gustar es navegar ya que tres horas dan para mucho. Nos bañamos y el patrón fue muy agradable. 100 % recomendable. Relacion calidad precio buenísima. Volveremos

    The highlight of our trip This was such an incredible experience! Daniel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and geography of the island, and he and Rico were brilliant guides as we were on the quads. They tailored the trip based on the weather conditions and we were able to see the most beautiful sunset in a relatively private spot. Daniel also took some beautiful photos which were very reasonably priced. Honestly, this whole experience could have cost a lot more and still been worth the money. Once we got back down, Emily drove us back and was also lovely to chat to. Would definitely recommend!

    Mooie ervaring op zee! We hebben super genoten van dit tripje op zee! We hadden een aangename kapitein, een vriendelijke, rustige persoon. Normaal kan je met een 10-tal mensen op de boot maar wij waren alleen met ons gezin van 5 personen. Een aanrader!

    I had a brilliant week in Tenerife - huge thanks to Mark in Los Cristianos (and Dominika and Dan!) who helped me organise my excursions. Mark was on call to advise and swap things around when needed. I went on boat trips seeing whales, dolphins and a turtle, I visited stunning La Gomera, took a cable car up Mount Teide, and paraglided high above the coast - I had the time of my life! Highly recommended!
