Testimonials
We chose the VIP option for this tour – pick up by mini bus and a smaller group (max 16) when it came to star gazing. Our guide Phil and his colleague made the experience very enjoyable and their passion is clearly evident. The sunset element involved larger groups but was equally good. And a glass of fizz as the sun set a nice touch. There was a bit of cloud coverage for us that evening so the guides drove to higher spots for best effects. It was also lovely to be sent a photo of our star gazing experience as part of our package. Finally I recommend wrapping up warm it gets very cold once the sun has gone down at that altitude. Thoroughly recommend
Karen – United Kingdom
Outstanding experience! Seeing the night sky and sunset from the third best place for this activity in the world was out of this world! The guides are very nice and knowledgeable.
Daniel – United Kingdom
The tour was so well organised from the information beforehand to pick up and drop off. Dani & Mike were so knowledgeable, friendly and funny too. Seeing so many stars in the night sky with the naked eye was as sight to behold but seeing Saturn through the telescope blue us away! I’m so glad we did it and the photo of us with a comet in the background was fantastic and my son’s photo was stunning. They were telling us so much information it was like a physics lesson too, you can tell they are passionate about their jobs. Do not underestimate how cold it is up there, they mean it when they tell you that! It dropped to 4 degrees with a bit of wind and it was baltic. I had 3 jumpers and my own coat plus fleece lined trousers and it wasn’t enough – I was so grateful for their coats! Thanks for a great night to remember.
Sarah – United Kingdom
Dani and Phil were amazing, so so knowledgeable and friendly, tour went super smoothly, beautiful sunset, learnt so much about the night sky. Couldn’t recommend this enough 🙂
Lily – United Kingdom
Jaime was an excellent guide, great driving skills and very personable. We also met Mike and both guides were knowledgeable, passionate and supported by excellent tech and amazing telescopes. Loved the offer of warm jackets which was definitely needed! Learnt so much about the sky, stars and planets. We were novices so maybe the offer to see how much we wanted to learn would have been helpful..we got great value for money and were out later than expected and maybe could have been half an hour shorter, it sort of blew our minds and could only take so much in! Would definitely recommend.
Laura – United Kingdom
The tour was amazing, the guides were very knowledgeable and so much fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone, any age. We were mesmerized by the beauty of it all.
Jodi – United States
Unforgettable experience. Mike was our main guide and alongside his partner (I’m unsure how to spell his name, Heime?) they were super knowledgeable and informative. Enjoyed every minute, got unbelievable photos through the telescope of the moon and Saturn. Please do this excursion, you will not regret it.
Lauren – United Kingdom
Had an amazing time and a beautiful view of the sunset , definitely something you should do atleast 1ns in your life time . Tour guides was very helpful and was happy to answer any questions you had and was just a very friendly and inviting time . I would 1000% recommend doing this tour.
Connor – United Kingdom
A fantastic experience! Dani and Jamie were incredible guides, we learned so much and saw some incredible sights. Easily the highlight of my holiday, I cannot recommend them enough. We booked the VIP tour with transport included – arrived right on time (even a tad early which was fab!) and zero complaints from us. The guides worked to provide the best experience possible, even moving to a different location to make sure we saw the full effect of the sunset, which was very much appreciated as it was gorgeous! 100% get this booked for your holiday 💫
Lauren – United Kingdom
Tour was very good, highly recommends it to anyone in Tenerife. Guides were very friendly and made the experience really enjoyable. Would recommend this company over the bigger companies that offer similar experience as they seem to care about the quality a lot. Very happy
Gregor – United Kingdom
Absolutely awesome. We did the VIP tour. Family of four (two boys 10 & 12). Hugely enjoyed the sunset, we have some wonderful memories and pictures and then the couple of hours being taught and viewing the stars were just wonderful and what knowledge Mike and Jamie (with a guest appearance from the uber enthusiastic Ozzie) imparted to us. The fact our two boys’ attention was held throughout, and the younger one cited this as the ‘best trip’ we did of several on this holiday is testament to the quality of the evening. The joining information was excellent and the pick up / drop off smooth as. Thanks guys, and especially to Mike, best wishes to you . Highly recommended.
Beth – United Kingdom
Great tour! We booked onto the VIP tour to include pick up. Communication was great. Driver arrived on time. Transport to sunset spot was swift and a Cold glass of cava was served while we watched the sun disappear through the clouds. This stop was crazy busy though….i guess to be expected for a fab view! Next the VIP guests hopped back in the mini bus and was taken to the stargazing spot in the forest. As the darkness fell the stars were unbelievable! Absolutely zillions of them and the sky was so clear, you could see the Milky Way 🥰. The guides were really knowledgeable about the different constellations and their passion for them came through in the tour. Really friendly and very well organised. Would highly recommend!
Kelly – United Kingdom
Great experience! We booked the VIP option so we were in a smaller group for the stargazing section with plenty of time to look through the telescopes and ask questions. The guides were excellent- very knowledgeable and entertaining too. Lovely to watch the sunset with a glass of cava too. As others have mentioned, it will be much colder than you think (and windy too) so take plenty of layers so you can enjoy the evening.
Jacqueline – United Kingdom
A spectacular spot to see the sunset and stars in Tenerife especially after spending the day on El Teide. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. If you like cava, it’s included along with soft drinks for the sunset. We were self drive, and followed the vans from the sunset location to the stargazing location. I was blown away by the view of the moon through their advanced telescope. Definitely worth doing !
Grace – France
Had a wonderful evening stargazing on this tour. Picked up from our hotel on time by Dani and his colleague. They were both very welcoming and chatty on the journey up to see the sunset which was spectacular. Once we got to the stargazing location, the telescopes were set up quickly under the most spectacular sky I’ve ever seen. Both guides were very informative and enthusiastic and I think everyone learned a lot from the experience. There was plenty of opportunity for everyone in the party to view the various objects they selected. There was no time pressure and the guides ensured everyone was happy with their experience. I didn’t want to do a tour that included dinner, so this did everything I wanted at a reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Oliver – United Kingdom
I had the best vacation tour ever last night in Tenerife with Stargazing Tenerife. The tour began with a stunning sunset viewing, followed by an incredible stargazing experience. Our guides, Mike and Dani, were exceptional. I was in the car with Dani, and right from the start, he provided fascinating explanations and engaging conversations. The sunset was breathtaking, especially with a glass of cava to enhance the moment. However, the real highlight of the excursion was the stargazing. I have never seen such a beautiful night sky. Dani and Mike spoke passionately about the Milky Way and the stars, answering every question with enthusiasm and vast knowledge. The tour was intimate and small-scale, unlike the other crowded bus tours. They took us to a serene location away from the masses, showing us the stars in peace. The equipment they used to view the stars was highly professional, and the photos they shared revealed details invisible to the naked eye. Would highly recommend!!
GetYourGuide traveler – Netherlands
The tour was amazing. We had 2 kids with us and they guides made them feel so special. The guides had so much information for us and it was an experience of a lifetime.
GetYourGuide traveler – Ireland
Mike and Jamie were amazing. Picked up outside our hotel and very easy to talk to. We were taken to a sunset spot and had the option of wine or juice. We then went to a secluded spot away from the bigger groups and it was amazing, it was quite hazy so they stayed longer to make sure we saw everything including the moon! It was amazing, they were so accommodating, well informed and funny too. Would definitely recommend.
Ellie – United Kingdom
Very knowledgeable staff and well-organised tour. Impeccable service
GetYourGuide traveler – Italy
The guides were very knowledgeable and answered a lot of our questions. We saw things up in the sky we never would have been able to see elsewhere.
Adam – United States
It was the most special excursion of our holiday! The pick up and return was perfect, small bus, on time and very neatly driven! The excursion itself is truly breathtaking! Beautiful views and very special! Would do this again in a heartbeat!
Muriel van den – Netherlands
Our guides never failed to make sure that we had something to look at the whole time we were there. You could tell they were really interested in this topic and the spot they take you too is unforgettable for stargazing. Some of the things you see here you wouldn’t be able to find in your home country and the cava was a nice touch. Pick up and drop off went smoothly and they even had spare jackets for when it got cold past 10pm. Mike made sure to do his best getting us quality photos throughout and was always a laugh. Highly recommend.
Nathan – United Kingdom
The guide knew a lot about where we were and about the stars. We rode with two other vans from the same company, and these guides complemented each other excellently. They really take the time to explain and experience the sunset and stars for themselves.
Daniek – Netherlands
Great trip, nice and intimate with a group of 8 people in our van. Met up with another van also with 8. So much more intimate than the alternate experiences offering it with a coach of 80. We went initially to see the sunset which was stunning, watched it go down with a glass or two of bubbly which is provided. Then went to 1900ft to set up the telescope, saw lots of stars, and galaxies. The Milky Way was clearly visible with the naked eye. Had all the star signs pointed out to us and explained. Then at the end had a nice professional photo looking into the night sky.
Theo – United Kingdom
This was the absolute highlight of the holiday, the guides were super nice and the view was simply magical!
Aimee – Germany
Danielle and Mike are absolutely passionate about what they do, and you are able to feel it throughout the whole tour! They are really caring, knowledgeable and funny. We loved every second of the tour. Thank you so much.
LIza – Germany
It was amazing! Our guide Mike is excellent and provided us a great experience, especially the stargazing it’s absolutely stunning. Definitely recommend it and will always willing to come back.
Karmen – United Kingdom
Had an amazing experience!! Learned so much about the sky , stars and constellations! The whole journey was amazing! Highly recommend this experience
Larisa Maria – United Kingdom
It was the best experience we ever had. The passion and dedication with which Mike and Danielle explained and conducted the whole tour was amazing.. Thanks and cheers to both . We highly recommend this activity when in Tenerife.
Shivani – United Kingdom
The most amazing experience! Phil, our driver and guide was knowledgeable and very warm hearted! We really enjoyed our trip with him!
Amalia – Greece
Amazing activity, fun instructors!!! They made my trip in Tenerife unforgettable.
Gonca – Austria
It was just great. Super interesting and you learnt something new 😉 the guides make the experience perfect, they are funny, entertaining and share their knowledge with us. Make sure you take warm clothes with you! Really recommended, when we are back here we will definitely do it again! Thank you very much for the unforgettable evening
Sandra – Germany
Excellent! Dan our guide was very friendly and helpful and shared great knowledge of the island on the journey. The sunset view was stunning. Standing above cloud level watching the sun go down with my boys is something I won’t ever forget. Once we got higher up to the stargazing viewpoint, both Dan and the other guide Mike set up telescopes for some amazing views of the moon and stars and gave fascinating info about the night sky. Highly recommend
Stuart – United Kingdom
Tour was brilliant! We arrived an hour early and got some great scenic shots without many people. There were two tours at the sunset so it was quite busy there but lots of space to explore away from the main groups. For the stargazing part we only had about 20 of us and there were three telescopes… Really knowledgeable guides and Phil is a great laugh.
Megan – United Kingdom
It was amazing. So well organised. Jamie our driver and guide was so knowledgeable and explained everything so clearly.
Lynn – United Kingdom
Fantastic! My son was in his element watching an amazing night sky like never before. Unforgettable experience. Definitely recommend this company to view the stars. It’s intimate and quiet so you get to hear the guides stories and plenty of time to ask questions. It’s literally like being in another world. Thank you for a night we will remember always
GetYourGuide traveler – United Kingdom
This activity was really great, the communication was easy, the spot for the sunset was really great and we could look at it without any rush and with a glass of cava. Then the stargazing part was really great, the guides were friendly and gave a lot of explanations and told a lot of interesting and funny stories. We were able to look enough time to each telescope and saw a lot of things in the sky, and the guides took a beautiful picture of each one. We left around midnight. The ratio quality/price was excellent, me and my companion highly recommend this excursion. Thank you !
GetYourGuide traveler – Belgium
We had chosen the self-drive option. At the meeting point we were greeted with a drink (sparkling wine/orange juice). We witnessed a wonderful sunset with impressive light colors of the Teide. This alone was a highlight in itself. After about 15 minutes of driving we arrived at the observation point. The guides impressed us with their outstanding knowledge of the star images and constellations. At the end there was a farewell photo under the starry sky. Conclusion: A very successful event in a small group with great spots and competent guides.
Kevin – Germany
It was amazing if you love space, stars and sunsets you will love it. Our guide was amazing Phil and Steve it was an educating experience learning the stories behind the stars but also it our guides whitty humour made the experience 10/10. We were unsure after we booked it but we went and we are so happy we did. It’s a good way to reconnect with nature but also have a good laugh ! Thank you for a fab time guys
Holly – United Kingdom
We could observe hundreds of stars and galaxies which was an amazing, unforgettable experience. Sunset sceneary was also exceptional. Most of all, Dani, our tour guide, was kind and excellent, providing captivating explanation about constellations. I defnitely recommend this tour when visiting Tenerife!!
GetYourGuide traveler – United Kingdom
Dani and Mike were the funniest and most enthusiastic guides I’ve ever met. They were very professional and amiable, and I enjoyed every minute of the tour! Huge respect to Dani for explaining so much information in such humorous way in such a limited time. You can also get high res pics of the night sky&long exposure photo of yourself in front of the milky way (depends on the time of the year I think). You also get free drinks at the sunset point! Def recommend 10/10
Yejin – United Kingdom
Hard to put into words how wonderful this experience was! Transportation was prompt, our driver and guide Dani was both outgoing and extraordinarily brilliant about the night sky. When we arrived at the sunset spot we merged with another small group and their driver/guide Mike who was just as incredible as Dani. Please, if you readers understand one thing that I offer – DO THIS EXCURSION WITH THE SMALL GROUP THAT STARGAZING TENERIFE OFFERS!!!! Combination of both vans was about 12 guests and the service was so personal. Busloads passed us by and I can’t imagine sharing this experience with a bus full of people! We enjoyed cava (or non alcoholic options) watching the sunset and then moved further up the volcano for stargazing. No need for detail – this experience was everything promised in the description and the sky had so much to offer that we were there until after midnight. Don’t think twice – this is your pick of all the options out there!
K – United States
Definitely recommended. Pickup right on time, contact the guide in advance, so no worries, well organised. Stopover to see the sunset was beautiful. Very nice location. The highlight, looking at the starry sky, was very special and educational. Both guides tell interesting stories while pointing out the stars and galaxy. It was also fun for two children aged 10 and 12. All in all a great experience, guided by a good team. Highly recommended.
olaf – Netherlands
Dani was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable about various topics and you could hear the enthusiasm in his voice. The sunset part was wonderful, but moving on to stargazing actually blew my mind! I’ve never seen this clear of a sky and this many stars and I’m not sure when I will again. This trip was well worth the money so if you have time and would like to see some wonderful sights while in Tenerife, I cannot recommend this enough!
Emese – Hungary
We really enjoyed the tour, they were very punctual when picking us up. The stop to see the sunset was incredible, very beautiful and we had a great time there. All the information about the constellations and the universe was amazing, the telescopes were set up on time and Phill and Daniel explained to us so many interesting stories and things related to the different stars and galaxies we were looking at! They also took beautiful professional photos of us, including more than one photo as a souvenir! A very wonderful experience 🙌
Paula – Germany
Everything about this tour from the admin and communication to the transport to the guides was beyond excellent. I cannot rate highly enough. The guides were so knowledgeable. Shout out to Dani whose knowledge was just brilliant without being patronising. It made it feel so natural Don’t miss this tour. You will definitely not be disappointed xxxx
Janet – United Kingdom
It was a very enjoyable tour with a very professional team. I looked for something without a dinner (based on other reviews I believe a dinner just wastes your time for mediocre food) and preferably in smaller groups and this was a perfect fit. In the 4 weeks I have been in Tenerife I did quite a few activities and this was definitely the best provider. The communication via Whatsapp was very professional. The explanations during the tour were fantastic. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The sparkling vine (in real glasses-no cheap plastic) as a welcome drink was a nice surprise (there was also juice as a nonalcoholic option). I appreciated that the guides had jackets to share. Despite of having 2 layers of warm clothing, it was quite chilly after the sunset. After the tour, I was brought to the village where I was staying although it wasn’t on the planned route. I was very happy about that considering that it was after midnight.
Lenka – Spain
Great experience! Mike and Dani, the guides, were super nice and are experts in their field 👍🏻 I can only recommend them to anyone who wants to marvel at a starry sky. I would definitely book the tour again 😊
Nicole – Germany
It is a lifetime experience. If you are coming to Tenerife, we’d absolutely recommend taking this excursion. Even though we went just days before full moon, we were able to see many stars and enjoy the telescopes. Jaime and Phil are amazing guides, sharing all their passion and knowledge about starts, sky, space! 10/10.
GetYourGuide traveler – Netherlands
The experience was beautiful. The breathtaking sunset (and night) view. The helpful and highly trained guides gave us lots of information about the night sky, showed us different constellations with the laser and we observed the moon and some stars with the telescope. Even before the excursion they were kind and precise: due to bad weather we missed it, but they let us know in advance and immediately found us another date. We will definitely be back🌌
Claudia – Italy
Mike was brilliant, he’s clearly quite passionate about the stars and astrology and it was refreshing to witness that passion and learn soo much whilst seeing the most beautiful sights. This is such a great excursion I would definitely do this again
Ayesha – United Kingdom
The Highlight of my Tenerife-vacation!!!Although we booked last minute (one day before) transporation went smoothly and according to plan. Mike picked us up infornt of the hotel. The first spot, where we enjoyed the sunset with a free drink, was incredible. We took amazing pictures. At the second spot the actual star gazing happend. Both guides shared highly interesting knowledge about the different stars and answered every question. The atmosphere in general was good, as the tourguides are very friendly, humorous and thoughtful (they even took some extra jackets, if someone needed). So if you want an amazing Tenerife star gazing experience I highly recommend the tour with Mike and Dan !
Nina – Spain
It was very interesting !! The guides were very friendly and had very good explanations. Special thanks to Jaime who has a lot of knowledge and likes to share his passion with great kindness
Alice – France
Best experience I had in a long while! Soooo worth the price, %100 recommend. Thanks to all the wonderful guides! The weather was bad on the beach but we trusted them about the mountain being not cloudy, they were right 🙂
Belen – Germany
Stephen was so knowledgeable. Really great evening. Would recommend for something different to do. Views of Teide and the sunset were amazing
Irene – United Kingdom
Absolutely fascinating! Nothing better than listening to people who are passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about a subject and Steve and Jason were just that. I wouldn’t say I knew much about astronomy prior to this evening but I loved this and learned a lot! Gorgeous sunset with sparkling wine too. Now when they say it’s cold it is, night time up a mountain, you’re outdoors for a good 2 hours so wrap up warm, they do provide coats but it’s still really cold up there, the hot chocolate towards the end was perfect! I booked the small group tour and it was 4 hours start to finish. Great tour, great group of people running it, not a question they couldn’t answer and super friendly. Highly recommend!
Emma – Ireland
The sunset at Teide National Park was a breathtaking spectacle and our guide Dani was an absolute treasure! His warm welcome immediately put us at ease, fostering a sense of camaraderie within our small group. Dani’s storytelling skills are unparalleled. It was fascinating to hear about his life journey and how his passion for the natural world has shaped his expertise in astronomy. His knowledge of the stars is truly remarkable. He effortlessly guided us through the night sky, pointing out constellations, planets, and celestial phenomena with passion and clarity. I loved how he took us from something we might know about to a deeper understanding, connecting all the dots and making it all part of a larger puzzle. It was a real adventure of unraveling the mysteries of the Universe. Thank you for an amazing experience!
