1.Sunset and Stargazing at Teide National Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,826 reviews · 3 - 4 hours · from $47Our pick

Travel from Tenerife’s south coast to a 1,400-meter viewpoint for sunset over the western islands, a glass of Cava, and stargazing with an English-speaking guide. A 12-inch telescope brings planets and deep-sky objects closer, and you get a free astrophotography portrait. Choose pickup or drive yourself. Dress for cold mountain nights.

“I booked the VIP trip so our group of 8 recieved a more personal experience. Our guide, Peter, was welcoming and very knowledgeable. Watching the sun set from the mountains with a glass of Cava was lovely. Seeing Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons clearly through the telescopes was amazing - as was all the star gazing. Hot chocolate was a surprising bonus! Overall a wonderful evening, worth every penny.”

2.Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing with Dinner (Star Safari)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,601 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95Top rated

Travel by coach from South Tenerife into Teide National Park for a sunset stop, a three-course Canarian meal and stargazing with four powerful telescopes. Guides explain the stars with lasers and stories, and you get free tour photos. Craig, Kieran, Sol and Sonja have led tours, though your guide may differ. The coach commentary is in English.

“An excellent event hosted by Craig & Kieran who gave a very professional, friendly and amusing tour of the stars and constellations above Mount Teide. The journey up the mountain was easy with a stop midway at a traditional restaurant that served us a simple but very tasty dinner with drinks. I can really recommend this tour but do dress up warm as the temp does drop at the top although warm jackets are provided if needed. Many thanks to Craig & Kieran.”

4.Sunset & Stargazing Experience From Teide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,129 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48

Travel from South Tenerife into Teide National Park for a sunset stop, a guided drive through volcanic terrain, and stargazing at about 2,000 metres. Telescopes and lasers help you spot stars, planets, and galaxies. Dinner is optional, pickup is offered in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, and Los Cristianos, and warm layers are essential.

“Definitely need something warm. We went in January and it’s also 2000 metres up and it’ll was dark too obviously. Ozzi the guide is very knowledgable and also very funny. Very good at pointing out stars with his laser pen. If you’re a woman and needs the toilet often then you’ll struggle. No facilities up the mountain I’m afraid. There’s the odd bush if you’re a man though. There was a refreshment van which provided hot chocolate and chocolate bars etc. The refreshments aren’t part of the tour price though. Which was no problem.”
