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.

    We have visited Tenerife twice this year, in June and October. We contacted Kim from Tenerife First Excursions back in June who organized the Catamarran whale and dolphin trip for our family and friends. The trip was amazing ! the whales and dolphins showed off in front of the boat to oohs and ahhs from us all. We enjoyed it so much that we contacted Kim again this month and she booked the trip for us a 2nd time. Thank you Kim ! we absolutely loved the trip and can't thank you enough for all your knowledge of the island and all the advice you gave us on all the trips ! We will be returning as soon as we are back !

    3 Hour Boat Trip Fantastic experience! LisaFay at Tenerife First Excursions was super helpful and full of knowledge! The boat was brilliant and offered plenty of space and staff were really helpful. We had chance to relax on the sun lounges (extra cost) and then stopped sailing to have some time to swim and jump off the boat!! Saw dolphins and whales on the journey too. We went on the 3 hour sailing which was plenty of time and allowed the afternoon to chill out.

    Sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide Me and my partner booked with Trev who was super helpful and friendly and made it all really easy. We done the sunset buggy tour up Mount Teide which I would highly recommend to anyone. It was super fun driving the buggies and the views at the top were beyond stunning! Would definitely recommend booking through tenerife first excursions and would use again if we came back.
