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.

    Family holiday made magical from start to finish! Beginning with the customer service from the lovely Laura at Tenerife First. With 2 young children she couldn’t have been more helpful with suitable trips for us to take as a family! We opted for Loro Parque and Siam Park twin tickets and were also provided with transfers to Loro Parque. Both days out were enjoyed by the whole family and the transfers to/from the parks were comfortable and punctual. I will be sure to recommend this company and these excursions to friends and family!

    The best place and people to book with! We booked the sunset quad tour, dolphin and whale boat tour and then Siam park all inclusive. To say this was the best trip of my life was an understatement. Big thank you to Dan for his help with all the booking and giving us the best deals, advice and his genuine interest in providing the best service he could. Siam park was unbelievable and cannot recommended the all inclusive pass enough. The food, drink, lockers and unlimited fast pass for the slides was the handiest thing ever and ensured we got all the slides we wanted done multiple times. The quad tour was out of this world. Thank you to Lee and Emily both of you made the tour that much better. Emily collected us from the hotel and drove us to the quads, we were then suited up and began the tour. Emily was the photographer and was top class. Lee is just a legend. Both of you adore your jobs and it’s clear to see. Lee had the timing down to a tee for the sunset etc. We had drinks, hot chocolate and local biscuits as the sun went down. When we returned we were given the option to purchase the pictures for 20€ there was a total of 670 pictures taken for the group so it was the easiest yes. Emily then brought us back to our hotel which was included in the package. Lastly we went on the 3 hour boat tour. We booked a catamaran. This was another unreal trip where we saw sea turtles and pilot whales with a swim stop by a cove, food and drinks included also. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. Thanks to everyone involved for making this trip so special and enjoyable. Worth every penny. If you want to do anything in Tenerife book with Tenerife first excursions!!

    Fabulous We had the best afternoon after Ross in the Los Cristianos branch persuaded us to take the 3 hour all inclusive yacht charter to see the whales and dolphins. The skipper was really informative and friendly and made the whole afternoon a great experience! We saw some pilot whales really close to us in the water which was a great bonus! Thanks Ross for recommending this it was well worth it!

    Excellent customer service would definitely recommend . We booked 3 excursions with Kim who was lovely and very helpful.

    We booked a helicopter ride that was amazing best thing I have ever done well worth it . On the morning that we was due to go we was unable to get a taxi as all held up due to a accident on the motorway called up and mattie answered and offer to come and collect us and take us there so we didn’t missed ……… excellent customer service.

    We also did Siam park and a boat trip which both was really good and at a really good price

    Will definitely be back to book again when next on the island

    Experiencia inolvidable Patrick, el capitán, hizo que la experiencia fuese mucho más “exclusiva” ya que se encargó de tener todo tipo de detalles durante las tres horas a bordo de Galatea. Pudimos ver una familia de calderones y darnos un baño en el puertito, una zona con aguas cristalinas perfecta para hacer snorkel. ¡Totalmente recomendable!
