    Overview

    Teide National Park stands as one of the three best stargazing locations on Earth. At over 2,000 metres above sea level, with more than 300 clear nights per year and virtually low light pollution, the night sky above Teide is exceptional.

    Groups are kept small so every guest can look through the telescope, ask questions and receive individual attention from our Starlight-certified guides.

    The tour begins with a naked-eye sky orientation: constellations, bright planets, the Milky Way and the mythology behind each figure in the sky. We then move to the professional telescopes, where guests observe planets such as Saturn with its rings and Jupiter with its moons, alongside nebulae, galaxies and star clusters.

    A second telescope is dedicated exclusively to astrophotography: we capture real time images of the most impressive objects in the sky and send them to you as a gift.

    With more than 20 years of experience, we are one of Tenerife's most established astronomical operators.

    What you will do

    • Teide National Park

      1. Welcome & Sky Orientation (Teide National Park at 2,200 m)

      Arrive at our meeting point in Teide National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a short walk to the observation point, your Starlight-certified guide begins naked-eye orientation: Polaris, constellations, zodiac and visible planets. No prior knowledge needed — designed for everyone.

      2. Telescopes & Live Astrophotography (Same location)

      Observe Saturn's rings, Jupiter's moons, galaxies like Andromeda, nebulae like Orion and star clusters like the Pleiades through professional telescopes.

      Small groups ensure personal attention at the eyepiece.

      A second telescope captures live astrophotography, images of the cosmos sent to you by email as a gift after the tour.

      3. End of the tour (Meeting point)

      The experience concludes with a short walk back to the meeting point under the stars. Perfect time to ask the last questions under one of the three best stargazing locations on Earth.
