Teide by Night: Sunset & Stargazing with Telescopes Experience

Excellent guided tour , lovely scenery . Stops every 2 hours at least for toilet visiting . Good food and drinks . Teide in all its glory during daytime and sunset. Even with a glass of cava included. And after sunset the sky reveals all its stars . Our guide Dominique let us encounter some pretty marvellous constellations and even planet Saturn showed us its rings . We booked the tour in Dutch with Tui and were picked up even 15 minutes early in front of our hotel . Tour took a good 8 hours and we were back at the hotel round 23h30 . Enjoyed it both very much !

Teide by night is an absalute must do whilst in Tenerife. The trip was well organised and absolutely stunning. Or guide Isabel was very informative and gave us loads of interesting facts about our surroundings as soon as we were on the coach. We stopped at multiple viewing points along the way where she had plenty of information to share with us, and she was more than ready to take excellent photos. We stopped just outside the national park at a lovely cafe. It was busy but the staff were great and very efficient. they sell excellent cake and coffee as well as some local produce, and I would highly recommend giving it a go. The stops along the way had stunning views, and you could tell how passionate Isabel is about the island. Tea was lovely. There was a set menu, but the staff were more than happy to make adjustments for dietary requirements/requests. We had drinks on the table (wine, orange juice, water, and coke), and they had beer available at the bar. There is also a lovely gift shop which sells national parks and teide by night suveneers. The shopkeeper didn't speak English, but Isabel was on hand to help and translate. It is very clear that the tour guides have an excellent relationship with people who work in Teide National Park. From there, we headed to watch the sunset, and it was stunning. We were above the clouds, and it felt like you were in another world. The photos will never do that justice. Once the sun had set, we headed off to go star gazing. Once again, Isabel was very informative and had an excellent lazer, which was great for pointing things out in the night sky. On the night we visited, we had no moon, so there was no light pollution apart from the occasional passing car. With the help of some telescopes, we spotted multiple satellites, 6 constellations, the Milkyway, 2 clusters, a nebula, and Saturn. It was a little chilly, so I would recommend taking extra layers, and they do offer blankets if you wish to use one. Finally, our driver Domingo did an absolutely fabulous job of navigating the roads as they are very windy, but he was so smooth and was ready to help pass out drink and blankets. The whole experience was more than we could have wished for. We saw loads but never felt rushed. Thank you so much to Isobel, Domingo, the staff at the cafe and restaurant, and the whole team at Teide by Night for giving us a truly unforgettable experience.

An amazing experience. Very worthwhile trip. The final star gazing session was fantastic. The guide explained how to find the pole star and different star in summer night sky, which was brilliant.

It is so much more than just looking at the stars. I can't describe how magical it was for me and my daughter. First of all, the tour started with going up the mountain itself on the bus - learning about the history and geography of the land and its people (as a history lover I found this part great). The views were also really nice. Watching the sun set with our naked eyes was indescribably beautiful from the area we were in , the food at the restaurant also amazing (the chocolate moose espically). Seeing the stars (the main attraction) was really pleasant, we even got to see the milky way and learn a lot about stars and constilations. Our guide (I'm so sorry I can't remember his name apart from the fact that he was Swedish) brought so much life to the sour as well, making us laugh as well as carefully explaining everything and guiding us threw this wonderful experience. If you were in doubt over the price don't be - it is worth every penny, or at least it was for us.

Very good afternoon, evening trip out. The rep was fantastic. Food was great. The sunset above the clouds was amazing. Wonderful photography to be taken. Wish I could go for longer to explore more. Night experience stargazing was good. Would have loved to stay longer.
