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.

    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!

    Amazing The yacht trip was amazing and totally worth it. Patrick was so friendly from the start and very knowledgable on the dolphins and whales. Patrick provided us with drinks (soft and alcoholic) throughout the trip, as well as preparing lunch. Given the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim at one of the local beaches. Overall very luxurious experience for an amazing price - would definitely recommend

    Breathtaking views and overall brilliant experience! The sunset quad tour was by far our favourite thing we did when we were in Tenerife, we booked a double quad - my partner drove and I was the passenger. My partner thoughroughly enjoyed his experience driving the quad and would recommend to other drivers! We decided to do this on our last night in Tenerife and the views throughout blew us away - it was the perfect way to end our holiday!The views are breathtaking and the sunset was beautiful. The guys who run the quad tour are fantastic, they are friendly, funny and all round decent guys! They only add to the experience and make you feel very comfortable. We loved the information they shared with us about mount teide and it's history and the photos that were taken were phenomenal and at only 20 euros for the entire lot how can you complain? Such a bargain! We have already recommended this tour to our family member who is visiting Tenerife in the coming weeks and they cannot wait to book this with them!You also get water and snacks included - I must say the biscuits are very good and when you watch the sunset go down you get complimentary alcohol free champagne , it was such a nice touch!The company also collects you from your hotel or nearby your hotel and drop you off afterwards, it's an all-round very good service and they make you feel safe and secure! I'd also like to say thank you to Lisa at Tenerife First Excursions for sorting this short notice for us! She was very helpful, friendly and kind when we booked with her! Overall, this is a great company to book with and we can't wait to return and try some other excursions.
