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.

    I could not recommend these guys enough ✨ We did this on one of our last days just to spread all our excursions out! It was absolutely amazing! The tour guides were so lovely and made sure we were safe but enjoying it at the same time. The views were breath taking! I would recommend to anyone going to Tenerife! We also had 3 other excursions booked (self hire boat, sun set tour and clear kayaking) with the team and they were all amazing! Dan booked us in for them all and he was so lovely! Made sure they were all worth our while! We had one excursion cancelled due to the weather and the team were amazing made sure we had our money back straight away and offered other excursions! The whole team are so helpful and active on socials if you needed to contact them. I can not recommend Tenerife first excursion enough! (Especially Dan in Los Cristos) Thank you so much we will definitely be using you guys again on our next trip to Tenerife ✨

Food and drink included and all for a fantastic price. A brilliant birthday surprise for my mum who loved every second and will definitely be using Tenerife First Excursions again…

    Buggy ride Went on the off road buggy experience and it was awesome 😀 very dusty as you're on dirt tracks but an amazing thrill. You have to drive on the roads to get there, then blast around the dirt tracks before driving around Las Americas on your way back to base. I highly recommend it for anyone of any age (I'm 55!) And not expensive either 😍

    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 :)

    I booked a kayaking and snorkelling trip with Mattie for myself and my stepson but the morning of the trip we all came down with covid!With such short notice I wasn’t expecting a refund but informed them anyway. The company agreed a full refund and the money was transferred to my bank within days. Service over and above I would say!We have booked another holiday in September and will certainly re- book our kayaking trip!
