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.

    Sunset Buggy’s are out of this world We booked before arriving to Tenerife, the cost is so worth it. Myself and my little sister had the most amazing experience and was so easy when booking through the Tenerife excursions and transport from and back to our hotel was included within the price also. The overall experience was so surreal and definitely one to add when visiting Tenerife ☀️ the guys at Tenerife excursions kept in contact and confirmed everything. These guys are definitely your go to people when booking🤍 what an experience we had and by far the best from our holiday!

    Fantastic “trip to the stars” The whole experience was absolutely wonderful, well organised and fun. From communication after booking to organising the pick up, the stunning sunset spot, the guides (special shoutout to Hans who did an amazing job of guiding our tiny group of Germans through the stars in the sky and some nice anecdotes on the ground), drivers (shoutout to Roland!) and everyone else involved were all super helpful, nice and knowledgable. The food at the Canarian restaurant was simple but lovely and the staff very welcoming and attentive. It was a great excursion from start to finish and definitely worth the money! 10/10 would recommend

    Fantastic service, down to earth and very easy to book an excursion with. I selected other as I did 4 excursions with Tenerife first excursions. I booked parascending, paragliding, half day teide and stargazing. All excursions were done very professionally, and were breathtaking. Kim and Daniel looked after you and made booking a excursion so easy and effortless. If you ever need an excursion, I 100% highly agree using Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your stay on Tenerife enjoyable and one you will always remember. I wished I could give more than 5 stars as they deserve a 10.
