Tenerife: Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Tour

1.Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 3,812 reviews · 3 - 6.5 hours · from $47Our pick

Join multilingual guides, often including the much-praised Ozzy, for a sunset above the clouds and stargazing in Teide National Park. From southern Tenerife, you can add a three-course dinner, then use lasers and telescopes to spot stars, planets, nebulae, and possibly the Milky Way.

“The trip was everything we expected as more. Ozzy was a FANTASTIC guide and made the experience for us. Please be aware, if you purchase trip without the meal, you are still made to order / pay for something in the restaurant. We brought our own food/drink due to dietary requirements. A soft drink in the restaurant is €4. To be honest, the restaurant was our only negative on the trip as the staff there were extremely rude. The driver was quick and efficient, the girls doing the photography were incredible at what they do. Overall great team and unbeatable experience.”

3.Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing with Dinner (Star Safari)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,601 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95Top rated

Travel from South Tenerife into Teide National Park for a sunset above the clouds, a three-course Canarian dinner, and guided stargazing with four telescopes. Guides such as Craig, Kieran, Sol, and Sonja explain the stars, while warm coats and free night photos are provided.

“The experience was pretty good. We had some hiccups with the telescopes due to wind, and then a situation with the camera that meant we weren't able to get our night photos taken at the end of the tour. The food wasn't gourmet, but satiating. Just note that your meal does come at the very start of the tour, so you may want to skip lunch. I wouldn't book any kind of private tour vs. the bus. You still eat the same meal, hit the same spots, and get the same information as the larger group...just in a smaller vehicle. It seemed silly to watch folks from the van follow…”

Guides such as Mark, Tyler, Werner, and Sheila share canyon geology, Native history, wildlife notes, and local stories before sunset stops at Yavapai Point, Pipe Creek Vista, and Grandview Point.

“I was super excited to see the Grand Canyon and was expecting a little more from this tour. Our guide was very mellow and wasn’t engaging. The tour was actually a little boring. It was also freezing cold driving in the open air truck. We sat in the back and got tons of wind blowing on us as we drove between the scenic lookouts. Once the sun went down, the guide finally put the wind flaps down, but it was still kind of uncomfortable. Also, he took us to a spot to see the sunset, but the sun was partially blocked by a rock, so it was not the spectacular…”
