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.

    100 percent recommend What can I say. Myself and my fiancé flew out to Tenerife for two weeks at the start of June for our honeymoon. We didn’t really plan on doing anything really only relax and then we said we would finish the honeymoon of with something different on the last night. So I got onto Danial and I couldn’t fault anything. From booking the excursion and to doing it I was clean sailing. I would highly recommend dealing with Danial and his team and Kieran and his team at night skies Tenerife.

    Geweldige excursies! Tijdens onze zussen-vakantie hebben wij 2 excursies geboekt bij Tenerife First: quad tour in El Teide en kajakken/snorkelen met dolfijnen en schildpadden spotten. Daniel hielp ons goed met het uitzoeken wat we konden doen en raadde goede bedrijven aan. Wij hadden het kajakken geboekt bij Canary Kayak Tenerife waarbij het bedrijf werd gerund door een super lief koppel die ook foto’s en video’s namen van de excursie. Deze kreeg je achteraf ook via whatsapp doorgestuurd. Super leuk als herinnering! De quad tour door El Teide hebben we geboekt bij @quadebuggypiratitenerife. Marie, die onze tour begeleidde, is heel lief en heeft zo’n leuke vibe. Tijdens de tour zijn er een paar stops waarbij je kan genieten van het uitzicht en tijd hebt om foto’s te maken. Als je deze tour wilt doen raad ik je aan om het in de ochtend te doen omdat het in de middag te warm is.Thanks Daniel! Wij hebben een leuke vakantie gehad en hebben mooie herinneringen gemaakt :)

    Buggie tour We zijn bij het hotel opgehaald door de lieve mensen van de buggies, netjes uitleg gekregen over de veiligheid van de buggies etc... daarna snel de weg op richting de vulkaan, prachtige omgeving en super leuk om zelf te mogen rijden. Fantastisch uitzicht en een mega leuke ervaring. We kregen uitleg over de vulkaan en de omgeving, na de dag zijn we weer netjes bij het hotel gebracht. Super!
