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 arrived atTenerife / Los Cristianos 26/July/‘23 for a 10 night stay ,

    We visited Tenerife first excursions,on our first morning,and booked 2 excursions with them , one to Loro Parque Zoo .
    & one to the “ Night skies Tenerife “ stargazing trip .
    “Mark “ who arranged our excursions was Very professional & helpful and arranged everything down to the last detail,
    I felt confident that we were being looked after by a good company.
    Also as we were staying near they’re office & I called in again to ask a couple of further admin questions and “Dan “ who I spoke to was very helpful & reassuring, the both excursions were excellent , enjoyable & worry free , we were kept informed & all the transport was on time ,also tickets & paperwork Was spot on , I would recommend this company to arrange you’re trips & excursions , & I will definitely use them again in the future.

    Kind regards

    Stephen & Watcharaporn Miller

    Service above and beyond As Daniel helped keep us sane through lockdown I thought it only fair to book my excursions with TFE. I am severely sight impaired so my options for excursions is a little limited but Mike in the LC branch went above and beyond to make sure my trips were the best experiance possible - checking and rechecking the best possible date for the Tiede by night trip so I could see as many stars as possible and sorting a most excellent jeep safari to Tiede and Masca. The level of service you get from TFE is second to none and I would never even think of using anyone else for my excursions. Thanks a million, guys ans Keep it Country!
