This is an amazing project! Observing galaxies millions of light years away is particularly challenging, but you can see them with your own eyes through the extremely large "Stargate" telescope! The special astro camera mounted on the telescope allows us to take detailed and impressive images. The program leader is a National Geographic Hungary recognized astrophotographer, and the images taken during the evening will be given to the participants as a free souvenir. This is a great way to take home the starry sky of Teide.

What To Expect
We start the Stargazing after sunset. We give a short presentation on the evening sights on a computer. Then we look at planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies millions of light years away. Through the telescope, each participant can see these with their own eyes. Then we take photos of the targets, which the guests will receive the next day in the form of a download link. Finally, we take a joint picture with the telescope and the guests.

Just about perfect

5.00I'm very pleased, no complaints whatsoever. I attended with my 9-year-old child. We arrived a few minutes late, and missed the sunset (which was okay since we explored a few places on the way instead by choice). We were a bit concerned at first because of cloud cover at sea level, but the location was well above the clouds so nothing but clear skies. We dressed warmly - 3 layers but the outer layer was relatively light - and George and Anna had additional blankets which we were also grateful to use. "Warmly" in our case should have been the midweight base layer and midlayer we were wearing, but a heavier autumnal jacket, thin gloves, and a hat and/or scarf (I never know how to calibrate, so hope this detail for April at least is helpful! At sea level, we were warm in shorts and a sleeveless top.) Our group was multi-language, and George and Anna switched languages quite seamlessly, making sure both groups had a full understanding of what we were looking at, including both with our eyes (planets, satellites, stars, constellations), through the eyepiece of the telescope (the detail of the moon! the galaxies!) and how layering multiple photos provides the color and detail one sees in magazines and press releases. Through the telescope we were able to see Venus and Jupiter (and its colorful clouds), galaxies of different shapes, the surface of the moon in significant detail, the Orion nebula, and I may be missing some! Each segment included kid- and adult-friendly descriptions of what we were seeing. The program does not include transportation, and we opted to not rent a car this trip, but George provided a referral for a car and driver that knew exactly where to meet up and was comfortable and safe. I appreciate his referral, as it reduced my concern about finding the "right" location with a car service not familiar. The drive was beautiful as well!
One of the most-go sessions in Tenerife

5.00It was one of the most unique experiences in our lives. We're lucky enough to have George as well as the stunning telescope. Also huge thanks for George's comprehensive guide for all the stars, galaxies, nebulae, etc. The photos we received were definitely lifetime memories.
A must-do magic night on Teide!

5.00We stumbled upon Anna and Gyuri’s stargazing group by pure luck while visiting El Teide, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip! The views are simply indescribable, and their knowledge of the night sky is endless. They took such good care of us with warm tea, cozy blankets, and a special 'astronomer’s drink' to sharpen our vision. There was even a wonderful surprise at the end (no spoilers, but it was amazing!). Whether you are young or old, this is a must-do program if you are in Tenerife. We can't wait to join them again to learn even more about the universe. Highly recommended!
Highly recommended experience

5.00The detailed, competent explanations should be emphasized, the small group and the beautiful photos of the observations you get afterwards.
Let yourself be taken to distant worlds.

5.00By chance, we met the Star Guide. He's taking you into his world of astronomy. We found it very personal and individual. You get so much to see, so much information and data. Not only is the starry sky explained, but you get to see and see distant galaxies (not crystal clear, of course, but it's not too long on the road). He takes photos of the observations and you get a link the next day with the download of the photos. Including a photo of you the telescope and the Milky Way. Thank you for the great experience.

5.00We had an amazing stargazing experience in Tenerife (on Teide) with Csillagnézés Tenerife! The guides were incredibly kind, friendly, and made us feel so welcome from the very beginning. Their passion for astronomy and the night sky really shone through, and they explained everything with such clarity and enthusiasm. Not only were they fun and warm, but also extremely knowledgeable and professional, making the whole evening both fascinating and memorable. They even provided us hot drinks, warm jackets, and blankets, which made the experience so comfortable despite the cool mountain night! We truly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tenerife, it’s an absolute must!🌟
Unforgattable magical night

5.00From the moment we were arrived, everything felt smooth and well-organized. The guides were friendly and shared fascinating details about the sky/ stars. Watching the sky above the clouds with a warm drink and blanket was pure magic. Later, under a pitch-black sky, we saw a comet (R2), the Moon and even a dying star through the telescope. The Milky Way stretched overhead like a painting. It wasn’t just a tour — it was one of those rare experiences that stays with us forever. The telescope views and the details made it feel like we were traveling through space and time. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the sky and wonders. :) thanks for this amazing magical adventure!

5.00Epic night under the stars. Saw a comet, nebulae, the Moon—everything through a serious telescope. Guide knew his stuff, kept it warm and comfortable. No fluff, just pure cosmic awe. One of the best things we did in Tenerife. Don’t skip this. Thanks for the unforgettable experience.
