Additional Information

Teide National Park is a prime location for witnessing exquisite sunsets in Tenerife. In 2013, the park earned designation as a Starlight Tourist Destination and Starlight Reserve from the Starlight Foundation. Since this acknowledgement, the number of astronomy enthusiasts flocking to the park has increased, positioning Tenerife as a global hub for astronomers. The low light pollution, acknowledged by its UNESCO World Heritage Site recognition, in Teide National Park, creates an ideal setting for stargazing, where excellent visibility conditions enable observations of various celestial bodies and constellations. Strict regulations exist in Tenerife to preserve the excellent conditions for stargazing in the park, including controlling air traffic and enforcing light emission standards within the park boundaries. Situated at 2000 meters above sea level, you can identify constellations and their most luminous stars, as mapped by early stargazers.

Not to be missed - An amazing experience from start to finish. Ozzy is a great guide and funny with it. We watched a glorious sunset had a lovely meal with wine juice and water thrown in then went stargazing this in its self was truly fabulous what Ozzy doesn't know about stars it's worth knowing. He explains everything as he goes along in several languages so no one misses out on the experience. This is definitely a must to do experience whilst in Tenerife. Do wear good trainers or boots as it is uneven under foot and don't forget an extra layer in case it goes chilly a hoodie is good for this. Take plenty of photos and enjoy. Also there is a lovely guy when you are stargazing with tea coffee hot chocolate and snacks for sale for a couple of euros. 😃

A highlight of our Tenerife holiday! - Such a great trip! Prompt pick up, from an easy to get to location. Sunset was gorgeous, took a ton of photos. There were also photographers at each stop, so you can buy group shots etc. Stopped for a simple, tasty, 3 course Canarian dinner (lots of included drinks options, soft drinks and wine). Stargazing was a fab experience, very informative but also entertaining! (Pack warm things or buy a sweatshirt before you go!) Our guide Ozzi was hilarious, amazingly inclusive (does he speak ALL languages?!) And definitely knew his stuff! Dropped off near to our hotel by 1am. Would definitely recommend this excursion.

Amazing night sky with cool people - We had a really funny guide and really really nice photographers. Our guide explained us everything we could see in the night sky. And the photographers captured every person in the trip at different spots like at the stargazing and at the sunset - best part is that you can get the whole set of pictures from the evening/night at the end and extra photos of the night sky like the milky way and the moon

Beautiful night sky! - The views were magnificent, and I highly recommend experiencing them at least once in your lifetime. The guide was entertaining and provided an informative presentation about the stars. However, there were a few drawbacks. The tour group was quite large, which made it rather noisy at times. Additionally, some individuals kept using their phones with bright screens and flashes, which was disruptive and impaired night vision. For these reasons, I cannot give a perfect rating, but I would still recommend the tour overall.

Surreal experience - The views were incredible - we watched the sunset from above the clouds which felt surreal. The photographer is great and makes sure to capture some great photos. The stargazing spot & info was also brilliant with the guide teaching us how to spot stars and take photos of them on phones. The meal was the only part that wasn’t great so wouldn’t recommend adding that on, it isn’t necessary. Overall highly recommend the experience! Remember to bring a warm jacket !

A memory that will last a lifetime - The trip was absolutely amazing. The tour guide was brilliant. The views we saw were somthing words can't describe. The lost one mark was just how late it went until but that's a preference as we both got super tired. Also it would have been nice too see some planets:)

Ideal to watch the sunset - Really lovely to watch the sunset as it was beautiful, however, the stargazing did go on for a long time which I'm sure for some was great but for myself it did drag on a bit.
