On the way up into the national park we were told about the history of the island including the rock formations, flora and fauna. We stopped at a couple of viewpoints then a quick rest stop before going to see geological wonders. We went for dinner which was OK. Some previous reviews had made us sceptical about the quality, however it was certainly edible and hot! Bearing in mind that there were 6 coach loads of people there, I've been served a lot worse where there…”

5.Teide National Park: Guided Large Telescope Stargazing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 319 reviews · 3 hours · from $58

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.”

“This was such a good tour!! We were picked up on time from our hotel by Mike. 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…”

“I'm going to be honest here: when I first booked this experience with my gf, we considered it too expensive. However, we can establish that the journey was worthy till the very last penny. First, we went up with the cable car almost at the vulcano top, 3500m above sea level. There, after a short hiking, we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the sea. Later, we had a pleasant dinner, with vegetarian options as well. Following, our favorite part came: the star-gazing. Adrian, our guide for the tour, was super nice and extremely prepared. We had the chance to observe some objects in the sky with professional telescopes. Then he…”

“Whilst the stargazing was informative and very enjoyable and the meal at the Bodega exceeded expectations m, the family were wonderful hosts, the pick up process was awful. We were 2 hours in the very smart Mini coach driving all along the south coast from Los Gigantes to El Medano. There was no advice at booking nor by the guide on the coach who gave us no explanation as to what was happening until we were all on the coach. His knowledge and enthusiasm at the stargazing was excellent. Unfortunately the stopping point to stargaze was one of the pull offs on the way to Teide so with every passing…”
