Mount Teide Stargazing Tour | Sunset & Stars with Night Skies Tenerife

Mount Teide Stargazing Tours | Night Skies Tenerife

If you could bottle one perfect Tenerife evening, it would begin above the clouds and end among the stars.

A Mount Teide Stargazing Tour with Night Skies Tenerife is not just an excursion, it’s a gentle ascent from daylight wonder to cosmic awe. As the sun melts into the Atlantic and the legendary Sea of Clouds rolls beneath your feet, the stage is set for one of the finest night-sky performances on Earth.

High above the coastal glow, Mount Teide and Teide National Park form a natural observatory. Clean air, altitude, and strict light-pollution controls combine to reveal a sky so clear it feels newly washed.

Stargazing at One of the World’s Best Dark-Sky Locations

Once darkness settles, expert guides from Night Skies Tenerife bring the sky to life. Constellations appear with startling clarity, planets shine with steady brilliance, and distant galaxies quietly announce their presence.

On a typical Mount Teide Stargazing Tour, you may:

Learn to identify constellations and navigate the night sky
Observe planets, star clusters, and nebulae through professional telescopes
Discover why Tenerife is one of the top stargazing destinations in the world
Hear myths, science, and stories woven together under the stars

No experience is required. Just curiosity, and maybe a jumper.

Sunset Above the Sea of Clouds

Your evening begins with a slow climb into the mountains, where the landscape shifts from volcanic drama to dreamlike calm. As the sun sets, clouds gather below like a soft white ocean, glowing pink, amber, and gold. It’s a moment that stops conversations mid-sentence and fills camera rolls fast.

Then night falls.

Why Choose Night Skies Tenerife?

Night Skies Tenerife combines scientific expertise with warmth, humour, and storytelling. Their Starlight-certified guides make astronomy accessible, engaging, and memorable for families, couples, photographers, and first-time stargazers alike.

This is not rushed sightseeing. It’s a carefully paced evening designed to let the mountain, the sunset, and the universe do their work.

An Evening You’ll Remember Long After You Leave

A Mount Teide Stargazing Tour is one of those rare travel experiences that feels timeless. The photos are stunning, but the real souvenir is the feeling of standing above the clouds, looking millions of years into the past.

If Tenerife has a heartbeat, this is where you hear it.

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.
