Tenerife: Sunset and Stargazing at Teide National Park
Teide National Park, Tenerife
Explore stars and galaxies in the comfort of a small group tour. Go above the clouds, enjoy the sunset, then watch one of the clearest night skies in the world come alive above Mt. Teide.
This stargazing experience in Tenerife suits astronomy enthusiasts and nature lovers, offering sunset views and star observation from a 1400m volcanic viewpoint.
Highlights
- Views of Tenerife’s lava fields and Mount Teide
- Sunset over La Gomera, La Palma, and El Hierro
- Celebration with a glass of Cava, Spanish sparkling wine
- Guided star identification using a laser pointer and telescope
- Professional astrophotography of guests under the stars
Description
Watch the sunset from a 1400m elevation viewpoint, adjacent to a historic lava flow recorded by Christopher Columbus in 1492. Enjoy taking photos of the sky's changing colors while sipping a complimentary glass of Cava or a non-alcoholic alternative.
After sunset, conditions permitting, the tour continues at another viewpoint for stargazing. Experienced guides use laser pointers and a 12' Dobsonian telescope to identify stars, constellations like Ursa Major and Pegasus, and explain Greek mythology associated with them.
Depending on the season, you may observe:
- The Moon around full moon phases
- Planets such as Saturn and Jupiter with visible rings and moons during summer and autumn
- Galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters like the Pleiades in winter
Guests receive free professional astrophotography photos capturing them under Tenerife’s clear night sky. If weather conditions are unfavorable, the group remains at a lower viewpoint suitable for stargazing without affecting the experience.
