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.

    Top excusions, great prices Were given a recommendation for this company and didnt realise we were already following via facebook and tiktok We dealt with Sarah who was very patient and couldnt do enough for us, she recommended some trips and we decided on the 3 hour off road buggy/Tiede tour a buggy for 6 not for the faint hearted but really enjoyed it. We also decided on a private charter excursion on the Galatea boat, when we arrived for a PM sailing some customers were coming off excursions saying how bad the sea was and everyone sea sick, the Captain of the Galatea came and spoke to us and gave us 3 options, go out (wont be enjoyable) postpone or cancel with a full refund. Luckily for us we were here for 2 weeks so we opted to try again the following week im so glad we did, it did not disapoint! The captain was helpful, informative - Soft drinks, water, beer and wine all included along with a tray of sandwiches crisps, snacks and sweets for the kids. We were lucky enough to see some whales and got a chance to do some snorkeling, well worth the money with the added bonus of it being "exclusive" to our family of 6 We also booked jet-ski and parasending with Sarah - no issues Would highly recommend and if was to return to Tenerife would defo use again :)

    We recently went on a dolphin watching boat trip arranged by this company. It was an amazing experience! Although we had initially booked a boat with a glass bottom, unfortunately it was not available on the day we went. However, Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating, and she made sure we still had a great time. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, and they made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. Despite the boat being smaller than we had anticipated, there were only a few people on board besides us, which made it feel more exclusive and personalized. We were lucky enough to see several dolphins swimming in the water, which was an unforgettable experience. Although the food was a bit plain, it was a minor issue compared to the wonderful experience we had watching the dolphins. The crew also shared some interesting facts about the local marine life and ecosystem, which added to the overall educational value of the trip. I highly recommend this dolphin watching tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience, and I especially want to thank Kim from the agency for her exceptional service. The crew was great, and we felt well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Thank you to the team for arranging this fantastic experience!

    Highly recommend After seeing them in tiktok we decided to visit to book our trip and they were so helpful and friendly! Really welcoming and no pressure, happy to chat and give tips and ideas. Think it was Richie that helped us at the las americas branch and he was a lovely guy. Our coach was modern and clean and not too busy and all went smoothly on the journey and during our visit to loro parque
