Tenerife · TEIDE STARGAZING
29 reviewed
The summit sits above the weather, and the skies over Teide are protected by law, which is why the stars here look unreal. This list ranks the best stargazing and sunset trips: which bring telescopes and a guide who names the constellations, which add dinner, and which catch the sunset first and the Milky Way after.

“moses was very knowledgeable and engaging. a great all round experience”
Watch Tenerife’s sunset over neighboring islands, then stargaze above the clouds near Teide with telescopes, Cava, and a free photo.
“How can I describe this amazing and unforgettable night. Our guide Roland, Peter and Phil are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I took the VIP tour and enjoyed the sunset with cloud sea, then went to stargazing. I was so excited when standing under the thousands of stars. We are made of star stuff. Traveling through millions of light years, I come to see you.”

Teide sunset above the Sea of Clouds, Canarian dinner, and telescope stargazing with free photos and video. Pick-up in South Tenerife.
“i didnt feel the time spent eating was worthwhile. It wasn't the best food or drink. I feel a drive on Mounte Teide to actually see the mountain and it's natural sculptures would have been better. The organisation and staff were very good. The stargazing was great although it got very cold so remember warm clothes.”
Teide by Night on Tenerife pairs sunset above the clouds with telescope stargazing, plus dinner at Papillon in Mount Teide National Park.
“The tour and the guide were fantastic. Tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and kept us interested all through the tour. Watching the sunset with a glass of Cava was just magical. Can't fault the tour at all. Only issue was the included meal was AWFUL. Sharing tables with others on the tour was awkward and the food was DISGUSTING. Me and my partner walked away from the table barely eating anything after 25 minutes. Worse food I have ever been served by a restaurant. Truly revolting.”
Teide sunset and stargazing tour in Tenerife with hotel pickup, dinner, and astronomer-led constellations using lasers and telescopes.
“From being picked up to being dropped off the experience was just amazing 🤩 The interaction & information from Nico was fantastic & Ignacias (sorry if spelt wrong) driving those curves was truly incredible. We had plenty of time at each stop to get pictures & relax with a drink before the next stop. It wasn’t too busy, only our coach, apart from dinner, at each photo opportunity so no hassle to get the perfect pics. The sunset was truly spectacular 😍 but looking through the telescope really made you realise how small & insignificant we are in the greater universe, very emotional. Highly recommend this trip, if you’re unsure…”
Sunset above the clouds, then guided stargazing from Teide National Park with telescopes, lasers, and a dinner option, all from South Tenerife.
“Very cool excursion! Saw stars and constellations. We also learned a lot about constellations, planets etc. Ozzie was very knowledgeable. The option for hotel pickup was so convenient. We were picked up at 4:50p. About a little over 1hour spent picking everyone up. We arrived to the restaurant for dinner around 6:15p. We opted out of the dinner option but I did not like that we had to stand outside in the parking lot of the restaurant until the dinner concluded. The people who did not select the dinner option (8 ppl) could not sit on the bus or inside of the restaurant. And since we were already in the…”
Guided look at the Teide Observatory with two solar telescopes, a night-sky dome, and expert astronomy explanations in 1.5 hours.
“We were very excited to find that we had the same guide/host as we had had on the stars activity so we knew we were in for another treat. Such a knowledgeable host and engaging at all times. This was an incredible experience and we left feeling it was all over too soon. We had the opportunity to view the sun through special telescopes and also see a nightime telescope. This activity is well worth every penny and every minute. Thank you for another amazing experience!”
Vilaflor dinner at Bodegas Reverón plus guided Teide stargazing. Includes wine tasting and south Tenerife pickup, about 5 hours.
“I booked this tour for my mother and her partner for a Christmas present as they were flying to Tenerife on Boxing Day. I wanted to give them something a bit different and having done a few tours to Teide myself, if the skies were clear I trusted that they would have an unforgettable experience! They were a bit nervous going as they aren't fond of heights and they were also concerned about how cold it might be. Needless to say, they really enjoyed it! They said the restaurant setting was very nice as well as the food. Even though the weather that day wasn't great in the resort area,…”

Teide sunset and expert-led stargazing with telescopes, lasers, and a dinner option. Great views, thoughtful timing, and real night-sky learning.
“Beautiful experience. The guide was very good. The stars on top of Teide are amazing. I recommend this excursion to everyone.”
Sunset at Teide with a small group, picnic above the clouds, and guided stargazing with constellation tips. Pickup options available.
“Picnik food was amazing, featuring some home-made torlilla. The guide's company was definetively a plus. Stalin(If I got his name right) was charming, full of sense of humor, helpful, and knowledgeable both about the geography of Teide and the constellations. What else to say. Yes! The surroundings. It was humbling and emotional to observe the scheer size of the volcano, the beauty of the sunset above the clouds , and the magic of the constellations. Can't give it an 11 out of 10 , so it'll give it a 10 out of 10. Thanks!”
A dark-sky stargazing session at Teide National Park with a pro guide, naked-eye sky mapping, and telescope views for $41 in 80 minutes.
“The place permits to see the sky without townlights interférence. Tenerife Sky is absolutely amazing, never saw so many stars in my life. Guide knew lots of things and was very easy to understand. Instructions prior the experience were very clear and they sent reminders through WhatsApp. Prices are ok, but according to rhe time spent I think it shoulb be a bit lower. Anyway we highly reccommend, even with kids”
