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.

    We booked all our our excursions in advance online via Tenerife first excursions and it was super simple! Communication was great and it was made clear where we needed to be for meet / pick up locations and times etc! We particularly enjoyed the catamaran whale/dolphin watching and of course you can’t miss out on Siam park!However, the highlight has to be ‘small group stargazing in Mt Teide with Ben’ at Active Tenerife as not only was the evening incredible, watching the sunset and enjoying the local food Ben had bought with him, his knowledge, friendliness and humour was what truly made this our favourite excursion! His passion for what he does shines through and he had us captivated the entire evening with the history of Tenerife, the moon, sun, stars and how this all impacts our day to day life here on earth - also we got some really cool pictures under the stars included.Ben is by far the best guide and host we have ever encountered in all our years of travelling / excursions - it was a real pleasure to meet him and I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone … even if stargazing isn’t your usual thing (it’s not ours) but we learnt so much and also got to take in some breathtaking views! 10/10 experience - Thank you to Tenerife first and Ben for making our holiday so magical 💫

    Tenerife first excursions ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was at home in the UK and wanted to pre book a hire car for our holiday this June. I’ve previously been to Tenerife and had a great experience with using Tenerife First Excursions. That was around 3 years ago, and today we received the exact same service as we did then. Which shows, that’s just who they are. Amazing service, friendly staff, always responsive and they almost seem like a friend rather than a business, very very welcoming. If you’re heading to Tenerife, I strongly recommend using First excursions for any of your holiday needs. They leave you no doubt and you feel instantly like you’re in good hands. 5 stars !

    Geweldige tour Wij hebben enorm genoten van deze tour. We hadden een heldere avond en hebben een erg mooie zonsondergang gezien. De quats zijn makkelijk te besturen en we hebben een lang stuk mogen rijden door prachtige natuur en uitzicht. Onze guides Riko en Daniel waren ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Ze gaven veel informatie over de omgeving en checkten regelmatig bij iedereen even in over hoe het ging. Als er iets was deden ze er gelijk wat aan. Ook was er water, snacks en champagne.We zouden deze tour zeker aanbevelen!
