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.

    Dan, Kim, Matt & all the gang at Tenerife First Excursions are all absolute heroes. I’ve been visiting Tenerife for many years & used many excursion suppliers but these guys are by far the very best.Customer service - including before & after your excursion - is off the charts & 2nd to none. Honest, reliable & professional. One of the only companies I deal with who treat me as not just a customer, but also a good friend.Very highly recommended. Thanks guys!

    Amazing Day. Oh my goodness what an absolutely AMAZING day we had. If you are going to do this trip definitely get the cable car tickets. The views are stunning. Pictures just can't do it justice,its breathtaking. Enrique was a fantastic guide,his knowledge was amazing and the fact that he told all 3 nationalities on board the coach what we were seeing was above and beyond. Deano the driver was superb,thank goodness he had his formula one driving to call upon round those bends. 😁. Can not fault this trip it was everything that Lisa Fay said it would be and more. If you are thinking of booking a trip find Lisa and book through her at Travel First Excursions.
