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.

    Fun family day out on a catamaran Boat was huge and plenty of space to move around . Staff are so considerate and try to find Dolphins via radar and calling all other boats . They make sure you really do get to see a pod of dolphins or whales !

    Excellent service I previously rated my jet skiing experience as poor but want to add this is through no fault of first excursions or the jet ski company and their customer service is second to none they do not accept your money and forget about you they are with you every step of the way to ensure your experience of excursions is 10/10. I have previously booked through them for sunset buggies, Siam park, boats, jet skis etc and have never had any issue all been brilliant. Tenerife first excursions is a friendly trusted reliable team to book through.

    TFE and the night sky What an amazing experience. This was my second time and was every bit as good as the first. The guys are so knowledgeable and informative, you learn so much. I must do a shout out to Kim from Tenerife First Excursions who organised this for us, she is soo friendly, helpful and really knows her beautiful island and surrounding areas. We have booked a number of excursions during our visits to Tenerife and can always rely on Kim and TFE to find us amazing experiences at a great price.

    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!!

    A fantastic experience! This was incredible! Captain Jesus we salute you! There was only one other couple on the boat so the whole experience felt like a private charter. We saw lots of dolphins, they come very close to the boat and Jesus managed to follow them perfectly. Heading a little bit further out we saw 3 pilot whales with their calf’s. Once we had seen these we sailed back towards an idyllic swimming spot where we saw a turtle. It’s also a lovely looking boat so makes for some great photographs with stunning views looking back towards Tenerife. I would definitely recommend this excursion.
