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.

    Sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide Me and my partner booked with Trev who was super helpful and friendly and made it all really easy. We done the sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide which I would highly recommend to anyone. It was super fun driving the buggies and the views at the top were beyond stunning! Would definitely recommend booking through tenerife first excursions and would use again if we came back.

    I booked a kayaking and snorkelling trip with Mattie for myself and my stepson but the morning of the trip we all came down with covid!
    With such short notice I wasn’t expecting a refund but informed them anyway. The company agreed a full refund and the money was transferred to my bank within days. Service over and above I would say!
    We have booked another holiday in September and will certainly re- book our kayaking trip!

    Atlantic Rose We were out on the Atlantic Rose from Puerto Colon today. We had a great time on this yacht, just 10 of us, watching the bottle nosed whales drinking wine, eating scrummy baguettes and swimming. So relaxing. The skipper Jesus and co skipper Thomas really looked after us well. Happy to have been a part of this experience. Thanks Tenerife excursions for the recommendation.
