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.

    Try Dive booked by Matt. TFE. We booked a ‘Try Dive’ with Tenerife First Excursions in Los Christianos. Matt was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Also a great help with a follow up query. I would recommend TFE to anyone looking for great activities.

    I booked two trips with first excursions tenerife. A boat trip to see whales and dolphins and kayaking to see dolphins and turtles both trip where fantastic well organised and excellently ran events. Daniel is friendly, professional and very honest. He pointed out that seeing the wildlife was not a guarantee. Thankfully he was wrong, both trips delivered on the dolphins, whales and turtles. I can't recommend Frist Excursions Tenerife and his advice and trips highly enough. 10/10 to Daniel and his team.

    Absolutely fantastic experience and advice from Tenerife First Excursions. Daniel and any of his team I met were absolutely lovely. Through them, on two trips now, I went paragliding (for first time), Taide star gazing experience, rented mopeds, took an afternoon whale & dolphin cruise, and had wonderful food and nightlife recommendations.

    ULTIMATE BUGGIES TENERIFE 🙂 We booked through Mark at Tenerife First Excursions for a buggy ride to Mount Teide. The tour was taken by Ultimate Buggies Tenerife. We had a brilliant time from start to finish, we were picked up and dropped off outside our hotel, given a full safety briefing, goggles, gloves and much needed jackets! The guys were 1st class, safety on the roads was paramount and put our minds at ease throughout the whole trip! We had good amount of both stops for photo opportunities and riding time, had loads of interesting knowledge about the area too! My son said these buggies handled smoothly and were a pleasure to drive, as the passenger I have to agree, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. I can’t recommend this company enough - will be booking again soon.

    100% would I recommend booking excursions with Tenerife First! Me and my boyfriend booked the all inclusive Siam Park tickets which was well worth the price!! We got our lockers, towels, unlimited fast pass for the slides which means we didn’t have to wait in the long queues, all inclusive food and drinks along with the park entrance which would have cost us way more if we paid on the day!! We also booked the Sunset Quad Tour which was an unreal experience!! Our guides Davide and Danny where brilliant couldn’t recommend them enough they was really welcoming and happy to help with any questions we had. Along with providing information about Mount Teide which was nice touch! The drinks whilst watching the sunset were a really nice addition ! Again, I would recommend to anyone visiting Tenerife and wanting to do some amazing excursions ! I will also be recommending to family and friends. A big thank you to Matt for your TikTok videos which helped us come across Tenerife First Excursions so we were able to do these unforgettable experiences. It was also great to meet you whilst shopping and have a chat during our visit in Tenerife!! 📸☀️
