Overview

Mobile ticket
Teide National Park is one of the best places to admire the sunset in Tenerife.
In 2013, Teide National Park was declared a Starlight Tourist Destination and
Starlight Reserve by the Starlight Foundation and since then the number of tourists interested in astronomy has grown, making Tenerife a popular destination for astronomers worldwide. The low light pollution inside Teide National Park (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site) is what makes it the perfect place for stargazing in Tenerife, as here you're almost guaranteed great night sky conditions, which will allow you to observe varios stars and constellations.
Tenerife has a special law in place in order to protect these pristine star-watching conditions inside Teide National Park, by controlling the flight routes and limiting the light pollution inside the park.
At an altitude of 2000 meters, we will discover the constellations designed by our ancestors and their brightest stars.

2.00To start on a positive note - the guide did seem very knowledgeable on the stars and the layout of the skies. Otherwise this was the most touristy experience we’ve had in over 2 weeks on the island and we’ve done most things available. We chose the option with pick up, but we didn’t want the food, so we chose a corresponding option - The pick up moved one hour, which is no problem, the issue was that the pick up took us and another two girls to the restaurant and we had to wait for a big bus to arrive and everyone to eat the advertised 3 course meal. The girls that were with us had the same ‘no food option’ as us so why the hell did we have to wait for over an hour is beyond me and felt quite frustrating. - We also understood that the viewing would be from either the top or at least close to it, this was not the case (nor do i think it is possible in general). The final stop was at 2k, and to be fair the view was great, but we had a different understanding (same goes for the people that were around us). After the wait at the restaurant you stop mid way up to see tue sunset (a spot open to everyone), nature is wonderful there. Then you drive up to 2k and and they let us out at another spot. Where the guide talked quite bit which was fairly interesting. TLDR: rent a car (approximately 50€ depending where you do so) and go there yourself, download (or even buy a decent one) a stargazing app which will help you figure out where is what and spend the rest of the money elsewhere, the island offers a lot of options.
Amazing night sky

5.00It started with an on-time pickup by our lively and friendly tour operator, Ozzy, then a lovely local lunch with roasted chicken, wrinkled potatoes (their specialty) with a small salad and various mojos, also a specialty. Then off to go up around 1400 meters in Teide National Park to watch the sunset above the clouds and take lovely pictures (extra charge). From there we went up to 2000 meters to get ready to star gaze. Lots of equipment set up was necessary, but they were organized and had a contact with a truck offering hot chocolate, beer, wine and snacks (extra charge) I would highly recommend a jacket or sweatshirt as the temps dropped. There was a very large group (the only issue I would have as it was a bit too large), so while one was star gazing, the other was taking a second set of pictures with the mikyway right behind, amazing! (Also extra charge). We learned quite a bit about the night sky, say shooting stars and even satellites moving around. It’s unbelievable how much is visible under such a dark sky. Would recommend.
Very good, enjoy the...

2.00Tour guide was nice/informative but overall experience was not worth the price of the tickets. We got the self driving tickets and followed behind. The drive up was pretty straightforward since there’s basically one road. We stopped at an open lot where they set up telescopes and everyone lined up to look at the planets. I found this to be pretty boring, but to each their own. Just wished there was more, since the only added value of the ticket was the telescope part (we could have driven up ourselves to go stargazing). I wish they included photos with the stars for free to make the tickets more worth it (instead of charging money). We went in early March and it was cold (40F with winds), so I would recommend bundling up and wearing gloves/scarf/hat.
