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.

    Experiencia en el mar Reservamos una en barco con Laura en la oficina y fue una experiencia increíble. Navegamos por aguas cristalinas y disfrutamos mucho del paisaje costero. La tripulación muy amable y atenta. Tuvimos la oportunidad de bañarnos en una cala y la comida y bebida en el barco fue espectacular. Gracias a Aythamy por cuidarnos en el barco y por toda la información sobre las ballenas y los delfines. Gracias a Laura por organizar una experiencia inolvidable. Volveremos y recomendaremos esta compañía.

    The highlight of our trip This was such an incredible experience! Daniel was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history and geography of the island, and he and Rico were brilliant guides as we were on the quads. They tailored the trip based on the weather conditions and we were able to see the most beautiful sunset in a relatively private spot. Daniel also took some beautiful photos which were very reasonably priced. Honestly, this whole experience could have cost a lot more and still been worth the money. Once we got back down, Emily drove us back and was also lovely to chat to. Would definitely recommend!

    Water fun galore! What an incredible experience from start to finish! We dealt with the lovely Laura who couldn’t have been more friendly and knowledgable on what we could do as a family during our time in Tenerife. Our younger boys loved the jet skis, adrenaline-fueled fun was had all around! We also booked Siam Park and a whale watching trip through Tenerife First Excursions. We come every year and now know who we can rely on for great service and the best excursions! Great company, and Laura is an incredible asset!

    Knowledgeable advisors Thanks to Lisa for suggesting Night Skies Tenerife. It was a really good tour especially as we were reluctant to do a stargazing tour again after a disappointing experience a few years ago.

    Lovely little 3hrs trip. Lovely 3 hr trip from Porto Colon. The price even includes pick up from most hotels in the resort. (Or a short walk to your nearest one or make your own way there). Lovely few hours sailing out to sea and looking at the marine life. We were lucky enough to see lots of pods of pilot whales and dolphins very close to our boat. Includes a short stop off for about 30 mins at a little beach area where everyone can jump off the back of the boat to cool off. Ham and cheese Sandwich each and unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks. Only thing I would like to see improved is a reduction in the smell of diesel in the port. It’s overwhelming!! In our group of 7, 1 was a little seasick. But the staff were very attentive- spraying her with cold water and cooking her down.
