The difference here is that nobody in your party has to drive. We collect you at your accommodation, take you up the mountain road and bring you back afterwards, so everyone can have the welcome glass of sparkling wine and nobody has to find their way down a dark mountain road at eleven at night. The evening itself is two experiences at two sites: sunset above the cloud layer, then a separate observing spot where accredited professional astronomers work a 500 mm Sky-Watcher Stargate GoTo telescope, with a digital eyepiece that shows nebulae and galaxies in colour on screen.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
We collect you at the hotel or apartment you give us when booking, anywhere between El Medano and Los Gigantes. The exact pick-up time is confirmed by message on the day of the tour, so please keep your phone, WhatsApp or email available. At the end of the evening we bring you back to the same address.

1Teide National Park
We drive you up to a viewpoint on the TF-38, inside Teide National Park, at almost 2,000 metres above sea level. You are welcomed with a glass of sparkling wine and taken to the best spot for the view, where you watch the sun go down onto the sea of clouds below the park. Your guide explains the volcanic landscape around you, the lava fields and mineral colours that shift from ochre to deep red in the last half hour of light.
1 hour 30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
2Teide National Park
After sunset we drive you on to a second site on the TF-21, deeper inside the park. Accredited professional astronomers guide the observation through a 500 mm (20-inch) Sky-Watcher Stargate GoTo telescope: galaxies, globular clusters and nebulae, the cloud bands of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn. A digital eyepiece puts the same view on a screen, where deep-sky objects appear in colour. Afterwards we take you back to your accommodation.
