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.

    Bonne expérience ! La ballade fut tres sympa ! Le personnel est aimable et à l’heure comme indiqué. Les instructions sont claires. Nous avons eu la chance de voir des dauphins ainsi que d’autre type de delphinidae. Dans le respect de la nature. Et même si nous n’en avions pas vus, la ballade est très calme et agréable ! Le bateau est bien, en petit comité !

    I booked the Raganork boat experience through Tenerife first excursions and what a fantastic experience it was from booking to actually going on the ship. Such a professional, straight up company who can’t do enough for you. I Also booked the Siam tickets which were printed within minutes so no need to queue at Siam park to buy the tickets. I was advised the Raganork experience was going to be great by the excursion company but it was sensational. Never been so close to the Whales .

    Amazing Met Dan, and he set us up perfectly for the stargazing, a boat trip on the on the largest rib in the world and the jungle park. Everything lived up to what he said it would be! My misses loved everything we did. He was very knowledgeable about the traveling and the weather plus he helped with us pick the perfect trips as it was special time for us. His local knowledge was spot on. Thank you Dan and Tenerife first excursions you made our holiday

    Amazing experience. Great staff and sight is wondeful Amazing experience! Patrick’s boat Galatea took us about 4 miles off the coast with various stops to enjoy the sight of dolphins, local whales, and (if you’re luck as we were) migrating whales as well. The captain was great and provided us with sandwiches, chips and drinks to have during the 40 mins break in Playa Diego Hernandez, in which you can swim and snorkel in the crystal clear water. Very recommended.
