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.

    Aanrader! Echt een aanrader om te doen! Naast het sterrenkijken ook zeer interessant om het eiland te verkennen en de leuke weetjes te leren kennen. Helaas hadden wij het op onze dag niet erg getroffen met het weer, waardoor het erg bewolkt was en we uiteindelijk niet de zonsondergang konden zien en heel weinig sterren. Daarnaast deden ze we wel alles aan om een plek op de bergen te vinden waar het minder bewolkt was, alleen helaas geen geluk. Maar alsnog zeker een aanrader om te doen!

    100 percent recommend What can I say. Myself and my fiancé flew out to Tenerife for two weeks at the start of June for our honeymoon. We didn’t really plan on doing anything really only relax and then we said we would finish the honeymoon of with something different on the last night. So I got onto Danial and I couldn’t fault anything. From booking the excursion and to doing it I was clean sailing. I would highly recommend dealing with Danial and his team and Kieran and his team at night skies Tenerife.

    Fantastic service from Danny and his team. Danny was able to organise Jet Skis at a extremely reasonable price to which we had an absolute ball. He was also able to set us up with Siam Park tickets. You really need to be prepared when going to Siam Park in regards to queues, lockers, etc... and Danny completely prepared us with information making sure we got the most out of the full day. Tenerife First was quick, cheap and professional. Thanks Danny.

    Absolutely amazing!! We couldn’t be more grateful for the service we received from Kim! I first saw Tenerife’s first excursions advertised on TikTok, we took a trip down there to get some help on booking a few things to do on our holiday! It’s mine and my partners first holiday together, and my first holiday since being a child, it’s the first time we’ve not had our parents to sort these sort of things for us! We booked loads of different trips! 3h Dolphin and whale watching boat, a try dive which me and my partner were both a little skeptical and worried about but Kim helped us so much and reassured us and even checked in afterwards to see how we found it! We also booked Loro parque and Siam park and buggy’s! Kim has been absolutely amazing and so friendly I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much again for all your help we really appreciate it! 10/10 service and friendliness
