Pick up is usually 2hrs 30mins before sunset. The times vary throughout the year earlier in Winter later in Summer but rest assured we will be in touch with precise details the day before your tour (morning of tour for Tuesday departures).
Our main pick-up area is between Los Cristianos and Callao Salvaje and usually this will mean you get picked up by our 55-seater bus. On here though you will be entertained by our guide who will give you fun facts and anecdotes about the island from start to stars! Anyone outside of our normal area in the south will be picked up by our shuttle Van 8-seater minibus and again will get a guide who will give some fun facts about the island on the way up.
We advise you to have your own transport as we do go to three different locations in one evening for the meal, the sunset and stargazing. Taxi would be very expensive as it would need to wait for you at the stops. There are no buses where we go either!
Yes, in the Winter can be 2◦C but with the wind chill can feel like -2◦C in summer its about 15◦C to 17◦C but with coast being about 30◦C to 35◦C still feels very cold to some people. As such we have big puffer jackets available to keep out the chill and help you enjoy the night sky.
Absolutely! The low humidity and stable climate create exceptional night skies, making it a standout destination for stargazing and astrophotography. NASA describe the night skies of Tenerife as a "window to the universe".
83 of the 88 officially recognised constellations can be seen from Teide National Park so if you're looking for things to do in Tenerife you’ll not want to leave without experiencing a Night Skies Tenerife Sunset & Stargazing Tour.
Discover the best Stargazing Tenerife can offer with a Teide National Park Sunset and Stargazing Tour (Star Safari) from Night Skies Tenerife.
The best months for stargazing are typically from September to April. During this period, the skies are generally clearer, and the nights are longer, providing excellent viewing conditions.
December and January are particularly popular due to the colder, stable air that often leads to clearer skies. Additionally, the island's high altitude and low light pollution make it a fantastic spot for observing stars, planets, and celestial events year-round. Just check the moon phase - darker nights are better for stargazing!
Typically you can't see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in Tenerife. The Northern Lights are primarily visible in high-latitude regions around the Arctic, such as parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Canada, and Alaska.
Tenerife is located much further south, making it unlikely to experience this phenomenon. However, you can enjoy beautiful night skies and other astronomical events on the island!
Yes, you can definitely see the Milky Way in Tenerife!
The Milky Way stretches across the sky like a faint, glowing band, with its core in the constellation Sagittarius.
Obviously the moon is very bright when near full Moon and does detract from some of the fainter stars. You will still see all the constellations easily and everything we show through the telescope, as a bonus you will also see the Moon, my favourite celestial object to view through a telescope and you will be Wowed by the immense detail you can see!
Cancellation and Curtailment Policy
We are blessed in Tenerife with wonderful and clear weather on most days, the Teide Observatory registers over 300 clear or partially clear nights every year!. However, on the rare occasion where this is not the case, we have the following policies:
Cancellation Policy
If the live webcam on Teide shows, or the weather forecast predicts severely adverse conditions and there is an extremely low probability that the tour can be completed, then we will cancel the tour giving the most notice possible. We will make every effort to reschedule you on another tour, however where this is not possible we will arrange a 100% refund to you.
Curtailment Policy
If the live webcam on Teide shows, or the weather forecast predicts conditions such that we believe that there is a reasonable probability that the tour can be completed, then we will proceed with the tour in good faith and make every effort possible to ensure that we can complete the tour and deliver a satisfactory sunset and stargazing experience for you. However, at our discretion, if we believe that the weather conditions have deteriorated to an extent that we are unable to provide a satisfactory sunset and/or stargazing experience due to poor visibility; we will curtail the tour at either the commencement of the sunset or the commencement of the stargazing.
We will make every effort to reschedule you on another day free of charge, however where this is not possible we will arrange a refund of Two Thirds (66.67%) of your ticket price if the tour is curtailed prior to the sunset and 50% of your ticket price if the tour is curtailed at the stargazing and furthermore we will issue you with a voucher for a One Half (50%) discount if you book another tour on our website within the next 12 months.
We appreciate that the above terms ‘extremely low probability’, ‘reasonable probability’ and ‘satisfactory experience’ are all subject to interpretation, but this decision is at our discretion and is our decision alone. We will always aim to be fair and transparent when making these decisions.
