45 tours  ·  from $28 a head

Teide can be a coach and a cable car, a summit walk with a permit, or a sunset and a telescope. These 15 cover all three, with prices, how long you spend at altitude and whether the cable car ticket is in the price.

Tenerife: Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car Ticket & Transfer

1.Mount Teide Tour with Cable Car Ticket & Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 5,094 reviews · 7 hours · from $102Our pick

Travel by coach from northern or southern Tenerife into Teide National Park with a live guide, then ride the cable car to its 3,555-meter upper station. Walk the free-access trails at your own pace, use the Teide Legend audio guide and visit the Science & Legend exhibit. The summit trail needs a permit.

“Have used GYG 8 times to date and are always happy with them. Good communication about pick-up points, on time, comfortable coach. Very good and knowledgeable guide (Laura) and driver (Caramelo). Interesting trip. There were 4 breaks, we would have preferred maybe 2 breaks so we could spend more time at the Visitor Centre which was really interesting. Unfortunately the cable car was closed as it was very windy but GYG refunded the money very speedily. Recommended.”

Tenerife: Sunset and Stargazing at Teide National Park

2.Sunset and Stargazing at Teide National Park

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

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.”

3.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.Teide by Night: Sunset & Stargazing with Telescopes Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,492 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $107

“The whole excursion was really good! The views from the park are stunning and seeing the sunset above the clouds is truly remarkable. The star gazing was also a lot more fun than anticipated, and we were even able to clearly see Saturn and its rings. The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made him self available to answer questions throughout the trip.”

Sunset & Stargazing Experience From Teide

5.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.”

Mt. Teide and Masca Valley Tour in Tenerife

6.Mt. Teide and Masca Valley Tour in Tenerife

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 965 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $61

Ride from Tenerife’s coastal resorts into Teide National Park, then continue through Vilaflor, Icod de los Vinos, Masca and Garachico. A local guide provides commentary, while an experienced driver takes on the tight mountain roads. Expect a long coach day, short stops and dramatic views, not a cable-car ascent or an extended stay in any one village.

“Great trip - full day coach trip with regular stops, a good guide and a great driver. Slightly longer in a couple of places would have been better and a bit more freedom to wander and explore would have made the trip a bit better but overall a great experience and would recommend it.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 319 reviews · 3 hours · from $58

In a group of up to 12, explore Teide’s night sky with guide Alessandro and a 32-inch computerized telescope, described as the Canary Islands’ largest private scope. Look for galaxies, nebulae and seasonal sights, then take home telescope photos. A separate Night Vision option uses a modified 12-inch telescope. Bring warm clothes, and plan for the meeting point to change with conditions.

“Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He gave a good introduction and overview of his presentation about the chronology etc of the origins of the universe. Would thoroughly recommend if it’s your thing, but if you have others in your group that are not so interested (my wife) you may prefer a more compressed tour. Picture at the end is great & looks really cool - even to my kids! Definitely inspired me to do more with my telescope at home. Thank you.”
