Tenerife is een uitstekende plek voor sterrenkijken vanwege diverse gunstige omstandigheden. Het eiland heeft minimale lichtvervuiling. De hoge hoogte van de Teide-vulkaan, gelegen op meer dan 3700 meter boven zeeniveau, brengt bezoekers boven veel atmosferische storingen en zorgt voor scherpere sterrenobservaties. Het milde klimaat en de geografische ligging van Tenerife bieden het hele jaar door goede omstandigheden voor sterrenkijken. Bovendien herbergt Tenerife enkele van ‘s werelds meest geavanceerde astronomische observatoria, waardoor de infrastructuur en expertise beschikbaar zijn voor hoogwaardige sterrenkijkervaringen. Deze factoren maken Tenerife tot een geweldige plek om de kosmos te bewonderen, hoewel het geen officiële rangschikking heeft als de derde beste plek ter wereld. Tijdens de sterrenkijk excursie in Tenerife gaan we de kabelbaan niet op en blijven wij op een hoogte van 2500 meter in het nationale park.

in the last weekA amazing trip up Mount Teide and Teide National Park with stunning views and beautiful scenery. An overall 8 hour trip really didn’t feel that long we enjoyed every minute of it, it was a lovely way to spend our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The 3 course meal was nice. The sunset on Mount Teide was breathtaking, to be above the clouds was surreal. The stargazing was amazing too, to see the stars and planets through the telescope was incredible. To be able to see that many stars with the naked eye was so good. We’ve made such lovely memories of this trip that will last us another 30 years. Special thanks to our guide and driver Eleanora and Giovanni they made our trip, her knowledge of the National Park and stars was amazing. It was definitely worth it and we would do it do it again especially if we went on a winter holiday. We’d certainly recommend it my daughter didn’t come with us, she already has.

2 months agoHighly recommend this trip. Get away from the tourist beaches and take yourself to another amazing part of Tenerife. The trip was so well thought out. Lots of photo ops or different surroundings. Dinner was basic but delicious. Dominic definitely bought another level to the trip with his Insights and knowledge. I loved every part of it especially the night sky Will definitely be doing again when I come back at another time of the year.

in the last weekOne of the best things we did during our holiday in Tenerife. Our guide Pepe was great; fun and knowledgable, he shared many insights on the flora, fauna, history and culture of Tenerife. The landscapes are amazing passing from lush pine tree forests to arid, desert landscapes all the way to the top. After leaving Puerto de la Cruz we drove one hour until the first stop (at Restaurant Papillon, the same of the dinner). There we could snap some photos of Teide and use the restroom. We then continued and stopped two more times and had enough time to wander around and enjoy the beauty of the national park. Around 6:30 we had dinner (which was not as bad as other reviews made it to be) and then we went to a viewpoint for sunset. We enjoyed a glass of cava in awe of the natural beauty in front of us. After that we did another quick stop at the restaurant while waiting for dark to set and then we went stargazing. Pepe showed us constellations, stars and thought us a few tricks to navigate using stars. The highlight was to see stars with the telescope and seeing Saturn. The tour is really well organised with enough stops and time to enjoy. We absolutely recommend booking with Teide by night elegant escapes, you won’t regret it!

a month agoIt was absolutely MAGICAL. The sunset when you're above the clouds is incredible, the stargazing was beautiful, the general scenery around the mountains were incredible. Just looking out of the coach during so much of the trip was phenomenal. Photos cannot do it justice. That said, attaching a photo. Food was fine, and I enjoyed how social it was, talking with the other people who just happened to be on the trip too. Scheduled super well, with enough time to do/see everything at each place without being too rushed. Tour guide was really knowledgeable, really diligent and absolutely hilarious. Both he and the driver were great (Went to this on 4th August 2024, Bus 67 - I didn't catch your names, but you were great!) So utterly worth it, that if I visit Tenerife again, at least 60% of the reason is to get to do this again.

in the last weekIt was an informative and beautiful ride with amazing sceneries. Our guide provides proper information about rock formations, historical events, cultural diversities, and also stars and galaxies. We enjoyed this experience very much. Food was average but not so bad.
