Andreas very friendly and knowledgable, appreciated the smaller group size (there were 5 of us) and allowed us to space to ask questions and get to know each other a little bit which was nice. Lots of fun seeing and learning about the constellations and how peoples around the world and in history have navigated the night sky. Was not expecting the night sky photography and personal photos of us to keep hold of to remember the experience!! Great location also.

Jasmin_A

Andreas was very knowledgeable and was very patient. He also sent us some great pictures afterwards. Location was well chosen and luckily we were able to see a lot, including Saturn.

Justinaite

We were amazed to see the Moon, Venus, Mars and other planets through the lenses of two telescopes. It was also very interesting to learn more about the planets, the distances and our galaxy :)

This great two-hour evening session on a spectacular spot done by a very nice expert in stars and celestial sea navigation. Actually, this lookout area is very close to downtown Los Llanos (approx. ten minutes by car). Some street twisting at the wheel is necessary, so we rehearsed the route all the way earlier in the day with a navigating device. That gave us the extra bonus of the truly awesome (daytime...) view straight into the Caldera de Taburiente. The last hundred meters, or so, on the way up are challenging for the driver because this upper bit of the trail is cast as two concrete tracks that you need to pay attention to keep on. Then, when driving back after stargazing, it's advised to be extra careful to avoid ruining anything on the front of the car. For the same reason and obviously in the dark at that point.

Andreas has a great way to combine interesting information and creating a nice atmosphere for the group. You could witness that this is his passion and he enjoys teaching and interacting with the group. He was fluently switching between English, Spanish and German and made sure everyone was able to understand. I can fully recommend this experience, learned a lot and it was fun every single minute.

Watching stars and planets through telescope. Getting basic and advanced explanstions. We saw Saturn, mercur, jupiter, mars and the fog of orion. Explanation started basic, but had a good progression. Andreas could answer guite advanced questions too. Andreas spoke well english. The locatiom were close to Los Llanos

Patrick S

Amazing night sky at the viewing point, and Andreas was very knowledgeable, providing info on various stars and planets as we viewed them with a couple of telescopes. Definitely worth a visit whilst in La Palma!

Marcelle_W

Wow! An amazing experience! We learned about the milkiway, planets, constellations, other galaxies and our location in space. Andreas is knowledgeable, patient and speaks several languages (at least German, English and Spanish). We had a great time and clear skies. Fantastic!
