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.

    Pushchair hire We visited today and met Patricia. Although she was unable to help with what we wanted (pushchair hire) she was incredibly helpful and made sure we walked away with contact numbers in order to get hold of a pushchair. All in all she was very helpful and will definitely be back to book some excursions with her.

    The best excursions Linda from the Costa Adeje branch was a great 10/10 star, Linda had a difficult job from us wanting to do 1 hour jet skis, the 3hr sunset buggies & 3hr whale watching boat trip on the last three days of our trip but pulled it out the bag and got us sorted on each excursion anf we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend Tenerife first excursions and everyone go see Linda. Be back soon

    Highly recommend After seeing them in tiktok we decided to visit to book our trip and they were so helpful and friendly! Really welcoming and no pressure, happy to chat and give tips and ideas. Think it was Richie that helped us at the las americas branch and he was a lovely guy. Our coach was modern and clean and not too busy and all went smoothly on the journey and during our visit to loro parque
