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.

    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

    Birthday Trip We took a walk along the beach one morning and happened to pass by your shop, where we were greeted by the charming young man, Daniel. We mentioned that we were interested in a boat trip to see whales and dolphins, as it was my husband's 60th birthday, and he recommended the 'Freebird' boat trip. He offered us the option of a 4.5-hour trip, but we chose the shorter 3-hour one, which was perfect for us. The trip was fantastic – it included a meal, a swim stop, and, most importantly, we did see whales!We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend your company, especially Daniel, who was so helpful. We also met his partner, who was working as the receptionist at the hotel where we stayed – she was lovely as well. Thank you for making our day so special!"

    Wir haben eine 3h Wal- und Delphin-Tour an der Costa Adeje mit "Tnerife First Excursions" gemacht und wir können dieses Unternehmen zu 100% weiterempfehlen. Von der Buchung, über die Kommunikation der Abholung beim Hotel bis hin zum Ausflug selber hat alles Reibungslos geklappt.Tolles Boot, tolles Personal, Tolle Organisation, was will man mehr?(Das es ein wunderschöner Tag war und wir Neben jede Menge Delphinen auch Wale beobachten konnten, hat natürlich auch zum gelungenen Ausflug beigetragen.)
