Meet Alessandro and his small group in Teide National Park for a three-hour tour of galaxies, nebulae, planets, and star clusters. The main 32-inch Dobsonian telescope offers remarkable views, while the Night Vision Voyage uses a modified 12-inch scope to reveal faint celestial sights.

“Alessandro was extremely knowledgeable and patient. He gave a good introduction and overview of his presentation about the chronology etc of the origins of the universe. Would thoroughly recommend if it’s your thing, but if you have others in your group that are not so interested (my wife) you may prefer a more compressed tour. Picture at the end is great & looks really cool - even to my kids! Definitely inspired me to do more with my telescope at home. Thank you.”

8.Tenerife Grand Tour: including Teide National Park and Masca

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 191 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $66

Guides such as Maria, Rosa, Fernando, and Carsten have led this route, which combines volcanic scenery, old towns, the Drago Milenario, and dramatic mountain roads.

“We booked this trip to be able to see some of the sights in a convenient way. We truly cannot recommend this trip enough. Both our Tour guide Rosa and the bus driver Kiko made the trip even more memorable. And even the trip to Masca alone for us was so worth it. The trip down to Masca is very stressful, but Kiko did an amazing job navigating narrow corners and upcoming vehicles while being on a bus. Truly nervewrecking in itself and I genuinely recommend the whole package.”

The first stop was to see the sunset over the sea (which was a bit blocked by clouds) and also over Mount Teidi which was beautiful with its red glow. It was even better with a glass of cava in hand! The second stop saw us move above the cloud line to see the stunning sunset. I’ve never watched the sunset from that high up before (apart from in a plane). Once the sun had set Stephen and Mike got out the huge telescope and binoculars so we could clearly see Saturn with…”
