VIP Sunset & Stargazing experience

We are one of only a few companies to offer guaranteed small tours transported in small minibuses rather then 50-seat coaches! This way we provide quicker transfers and a more personal experience with a maximum of 8 people per guide and telescope (meaning more time to enjoy the experience and less time in a crowded coach). Also we offer you the memory of an astrophoto under the stars taken by accomplished astrophotography experts.
After collecting you outside your accommodation we transport you high above the clouds to a point facing to the west to watch the sun set over three other islands in the Canary archipelago with a glass of Cava to celebrate. Star gazing at a height of 2000m above sea level often above a blanket of clouds a unique experience to have a laser guided safari across the sky showing you constellations and relating the ancient Greek mythology behind them. Look through our large telescope at distant Galaxies, Nebulas and star clusters the planets and moon

A Night of Stars and Wonder

5.00It was truly thrilling to see so many stars and celestial objects—such a completely different experience under a dark sky. Viewing Saturn and its rings through the telescope was unforgettable. Another highlight was seeing the Milky Way for the first time in around 25 years, a reminder of just how much light pollution we have at home and on my past holidays. Our driver, Phil, and the two guides were enthusiastic and knowledgeable, sharing a wealth of fascinating information about the night sky. To top it all off, we received a wonderful surprise photo of my husband beneath a sky full of glittering stars—a perfect memento of the trip. Take the company’s advice and wrap up warm! Many thanks.
The star gazing was missing stars …..

2.00Was excellent to be collected from our hotel and was very handy having the coats provided as it was cold. We had cava watching sunset. The actual star gazing was very poor, poor visibility due to cloud and bright moon, but we have seen more stars in the UK on an average day. We were very disappointed. Also it’s located in a small car park so trees and cars can get in the way. The guides were lovely but the experience very poor.
The service is terrible Stephen Phelps changed the meeting point and time the same day in the morning, he didn't care about clie

1.00Please read my review and think twice before to book it. I think is a great experience unfortunately the service is terrible Stephen Phelps the owner, I guess, had a terrible organization and attitude. He changed the time and place of meeting point, the same day in the morning. He wrote me a message in the app and instead of writing me the changes he just wrote "call me urgently "( not even good morning) I couldn't call him cause I had problems with my SiM Card but I arrived to the meeting point 15 minutes early. My "Mistake" was that I miss one number of my phone in the booking but why he didn't write the message in the app. He was saying that I was not reachable but come on he wrote me a message!!! After discussing with him he didn't accept the fault and I even negotiate a half reimbursement and of course he didn't accepted. Of course to charge the money never a problem. I made 100 of tours and I never had this bad experience, totally bad organizer normally I use get your guide ( highly recommended). I hope this review helps to all of you who come with efforts (time/money) and expecting good time and nice people. Tenerife and local people are great,come and visit but before to book great experiences read the reviews.
Informative and entertaining

5.00Excellent stargazing experience. Our guide Phil did a fantastic job with our group. We watched the sun set from a beautiful viewpoint, and then set up professional telescopes at a roadside location to observe the stars. The guides were knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and entertaining. Would strongly recommend!
Highly recommend!

5.00Excellent trip and worth doing. Short trip from the city up to the mountains. Beautiful scenery the whole way. Our guide Roland is very friendly, and knowledgeable. We were guided through the beauty of the night sky. They have impressive telescopes and it’s amazing to see what is feeding back to us. I also couldn’t believe how detailed the pictures were from iPhones with the right settings. Definitely recommend!
Truly awesome experience and great company

5.00If you want to see the stars in Tenerife, this company should be NUMBER 1 on your list of things to book! We had booked the VIP tour before our holiday to Tenerife and were hoping for a chance to see the night sky. There was excellent communication prior to the date, and in fact on the date the skies were cloudy-however Stargazing Tenerife very helpfully offered for us to select a different date...and this time we were lucky! We were collected from our hotel in a comfortable minibus by the excellent Piotr / Peter who gave us some great info on what was going to happen. A quick stop to watch the sun set, along with a drink, then we were off to the viewing area which was in the perimeter of the Teide National Park. Although it was in a car park, this didn't matter at all. The 3 guys (Piotr, Mike and Jaime) set up all the high tech telescopes with laser guidance so we knew what we were looking at, and as well as keeping us informed they were great entertainers too and engaged everyone perfectly. We were so lucky to see the Milky Way, some shooting stars, lots of constellations and the planet Saturn too! Awesome is the only word. Everything was perfect and as advised, and the communications from the admin people were second to none! We 100% recommend this company and we will certainly book with them on a future trip. It's a big sky, we want to see more of it!

5.00We had a great time on our Stargazing tour. The VIPs tour was awesome. We drank cava and watched the most spectacular sunset. We then went to our Stargazing spot. Our guides were very passionate about Stargazing and very entertaining. I recommend this tour.
Amazing stargazing and sunset experience!

5.00Our experience was amazing! Our driver Jaime was really lovely and friendly. All three guides (Jaime, Phil and Peter) had great camaraderie and were really informative and knowledgable and made the experience even better! They were all so friendly and Phil’s photography was another added highlight. Couldn’t recommend this touring group enough! Would definitely do this experience again!

5.00Very rewarding experience. Top organization. The day I had booked was cloudy and so I was offered to postpone the tour so I could make the most of it. Fortunately I had booked it at the beginning of the stay so I could post this one. I took my 6-year-old daughter with me and it was too long for her. But the ten-year-old loved it. A small downside: no francophone guide. I was able to translate them but it would have been easier if mixing different languages (3 guides present) Thank you to them and good continuation
