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.

    2 hour jet ski safari Today we went on the 2 hour jet ski safari which was booked and arranged by Sarah she was absolutely brilliant organised pick up for us. When we arrived at flash jet ski we was kindly greeted by a lady unfortunately I didn’t get her name but she was so lovely and reassuring, the 2 gentlemen who took us out was great as well. Has a fabulous time!! Went on a double jet ski driving is definitely more fun than being on the back 🫣!!! Thank you so much Sarah for arranging this for us and thank you for arranging Siam park and freebird dolphin and whale watching experience!!

    Trip to La Palma We took a day trip to La Palma from Tenerife on the Fred Olsen Ferry. We had a wonderful day. The arrangements were seamless. We were picked up at the port in La Palma and travelled on a very comfortable bus around the island. We viewed the devastation caused by the recent volcanic eruption and got a feel for the impact it had on the lives of those who live there. A lovely lunch in a small harbour before returning. We also had the opportunity to spend some time in the very quaint town of La Palma. Our guide Mattie was excellent and switched between Spanish and English with ease. An excellent day but be warned the chopping is often rough so take seasick tablets!

    This is the best excursion shop in Tenerife. Outstanding customer service and the most helpful staff you can ask for.
    Polish guy Macek was very informative, suggested the best jet-ski in the island which was spot on and gave us amazing price for the catamaran to see dolphins. Thank you guys, you have made our holidays here.
    If you are in Tenerife, head only to Tenerife First Excursions and they will make your holidays perfect.

    We visited Tenerife first excursions,on our first morning,and booked 2 excursions with them , one to Loro Parque Zoo .
    & one to the “ Night skies Tenerife “ stargazing trip .
