Tenerife is an excellent place for stargazing because of several favourable conditions. The island has minimal light pollution. The high altitude of the Teide volcano, located more than 3,700 metres above sea level, brings visitors above many atmospheric disturbances and allows for sharper star observations. Tenerife's mild climate and geographical location provide good conditions for stargazing all year round. Moreover, Tenerife hosts some of the world's most advanced astronomical observatories, making the infrastructure and expertise available for high-quality stargazing experiences. These factors make Tenerife a great place to admire the cosmos, although it does not have an official ranking as the third best place in the world. During the stargazing excursion in Tenerife, we do not go up the cable car and stay at an altitude of 2,500 metres in the national park.

2 months agoFirstly the entire day was seamless and it was clearly well planned, we were consistently given updates and information which made everyone feel very comfortable. Every part of the trip was breathtaking and made so much better by the simplified information we could comprehend and follow. Our guide, Isobel was absolutely amazing and made the trip. Her humour and enthusiasm throughout was excellent, she is an amazing photographer, astrologist and guide and we could not be more grateful and impressed with her. I let her know in advance that I had planned a proposal on the trip and she put in the extra effort to make it so special, managing to subtly let me know where and when would be the best moment and being our photographer for the special moment. It was such a magical evening and I recommend that if you have the chance to do this, you should (especially if you get Isobel as your guide)

a month agoTiede by night was the most incredible excursion, Jesper our tour guide was so knowledgeable. The day started at 3 and we drove up into the mountains and had a few stops on the way. We saw the black lava flows and amazing views from the foothills of Teide. We had a 3 course dunner which was basic but fine...the wine was good! We watched the incredible sunset above the clouds , such a magical moment. Then Jesper explained the constellations and how to find the north star. The stars were incredible, I've never seen so many! We then looked through telescopes which had been set up for us. We saw Jupiter and it's moons, Orion's nebular and loads of other stuff. Can highly recommend the trip, such good value but Jesper really made it with his knowledge and humour. Just two tips, take layers as it gets cold up there and take some cash, we would have liked to have left Jesper a tip but we only had our cards.

2 weeks agoBeautiful all around view of the island with an honorable mention at the cloud sea fantastic view of the sky too. BIG delusion with the transport, if you have to have a 2 hours drive with 10+ stops in the island streets where people easily get car sick i have to know it in advance so i can choose another option. instead we have been told that the drive was gonna be 1 hour long and no mention of all the stops. still gonna give credit when it's due, the trip was fantastic and Jasper was a terrific guide, would have been 5⭐️ with better transport and dinner.

5 months agoIn 2023 my wife and I booked the Teide by night tour. It was so good we've just done it again. Jasper our tour guide from Sweden was absolutely fantastic his knowledge of the whole trip was incredible. He explained everything clearly and understandable with some fantastic humour thrown in lol Even tho I'm no Brian Cox the whole experience was amazing just like the fist time we did the trip. Seeing all the planets and stars without light pollution is awesome. The coach driver was also great and looked after us all. I would recommend this excursion even if you don't do star gazing it really is amazing seeing how many planets and stars you can see with your naked eyes. My wife loved it
