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.

    FANTASTIC company to deal with. Absolutely fantastic customer service from lisafay today. We saw multiple TikTok’s before we arrived in Tenerife and thought we would give these guys a try, I’m so glad we did. We booked multiple excursions with these guys and got everything we wanted at fantastic prices. We was gifted free monkey park tickets and a 20% voucher for chill box (which is also a fantastic place with fantastic staff. It’s a must, the drinks are to die for). We met mattie in person and the guy behind the camera Colin, great guys. I would highly recommend using Tenerife first excursions and will definitely use them when we visit the island again. Thank you so much guys. (We absolutely love it) 😜😜

    Fun filled Kayak & Snorkel excursion!We booked a kayaking tour through Danny at Tenerife First Excursions and it was a brilliant day out! The Kayak instructor was very nice and explained everything so well, and made us all feel so comfortable! It was great fun! We kayaked from los cris out to sea, around the bay and to a lovely cave between los cris and palmar and got to do some snorkeling which was amazing! We saw loads of cool fish and crabs too! Amazing view of Montaña Amarilla on route! Thanks guys, we'll be back to book another trip soon!

    Helpful and professional advice Interaction with Andreea from the get go was flawless and really helpful, guiding us through the options and explaining which one would be our best choice, until we finalized and choose one of our best trips. We definitely would recommend having Andreea as a guide for the reason of being able to make the right choices.

    Book this trip! This trip was great value for money, with beer and a sandwich included. We saw wales, unfortunately no dolphins but we came across a hammerhead shark. We also stopped to swim in a bay… 100% worth the money, if in doubt book the trip!
