Sunset & Stargazing from Teide

The whole evening was outstanding. The tour guide had so much knowledge and was funny too. Would really recommend doing this.

I'm sorry I didn't like it Food was really not good restaurant was 1 star more I don’t say about it, very large group, 18.00 leave tig times stop everywhere pick people up, after eating around 19.30 to 01.00 at night no drinks or anything else to eat and so really very long , also it takes a long time you see 2 things through the stargazer really after very good looking but all in all the bus driver also got tired and he was also very cold and wanted to leave at 01.00 at night which we all liked it has been beautiful also so long for us and the rest of the bus not recommended!!! The driver was driving very fast and rough we were very nauseous because of this unfortunately., €160,00 really not worth! Also the pictures afterwards were taken by a photographer friend of the guide is nice but € 35,00 for 4 photos while you can download the rest of the group so hin photos too is very special!

Could not have asked for a better guide than Ozzy! He had fantastic knowledge and was clearly very passionate and very funny. The meal was lovely and the sunset was absolutely stunning! Loved the photos we got. We were in awe staring at the night sky and all the stars and mysterious objects whizzing by. We got to see an eclipse on Jupiter through the telescope and many more interesting things! Highly recommended.

I saw that some of the reviews on here for this experience were pretty bad. I think they are unmerited. The only complaint I have is that this tour is overbooked and when you have 50-60 people stumbling in the darkness in pitch black conditions it's not the ideal situation. Me and my mom managed to spot Saturn on the high powered telescopes. The tour guide / host was pretty knowledgeable about the cosmos's and we also got to spot some far away clusters of stars and constellations. Don't expect to see slow exposure type in details galaxies as basically you can't see those with the naked eye. So keep your expectations in check and realistic. However, you can see WAY more Sky gazing wise than any other area in the world that's not a light pollution free environment. Shooting starts, nebulas, brighter and in detailed stars. Your phone may even be able to capture some of it! The meal experience was also too crowded for my taste but I was accommodated to an area outside the restaurant which helped allot. We also got to experience the sunset at altitude near El Teide national park at petrified lava fields. I would say it's also crowded there with other buses and not as safe when people are randomly climbing over sharp rocks. But over all it was a great experience. I also wanted to note that the actual telescope time could be longer for each guest but due to the crowds it's limited.

I highly recommend!! A wonderful experience The super friendly guide, familiar with the topic. Seeing the road is beautiful.

Good tour.great to use Telescope 🔭. Ozzy was a great guide. Food stop good. Ask Ozzy anything. Took interest in different nationalities .warm clothes and good shoes. Below 10c. The value of tour was fair.

Scammers!!! We have paid 50£ to get the pictures from sunset and stargazing but they send us just 4 pictures from sunset…try to contact them and they don t answer…

It was so much fun!! The dinner was delicious. The sunset was beautiful and the stargazing experience was truly breathtaking. Ozzi, our guide, was so knowledgeable, passionate, funny, and charismatic and this was very clearly something he truly loved doing. I would absolutely recommend this tour, I’m so glad I went.

Upon the coach arriving at our pick up destination, we were greeted by Ozzie and the Driver. We were seated and ventured our way to Teide. The stop off for food, in my opinion was fantastic, a proper old style Spanish taverna, the food was traditional but good. The only grumble I have was the attitude of the waitress- probably because she was alone dishing out to 50 + people. We recommenced after eating on the drive up, Ozzie was pointing out the landscapes, geology and history, he is brilliant at explaining things for all to understand. The sunset experience was lovely, although there was some cloud from Mother Nature- but it added to the ambience. The photographer was patient with my Son who has autism, I can’t wait to see the pictures she captured. My daughter at this point needed the toilet- after all we had recently eaten and hydrated, we were a bit taken back when we asked the driver if we could use the coach toilet- to which he pointed out these isn’t one and we have to go ‘naturale’- we found a spot, however it was not pleasant, there were used tissues everywhere from people who also needed to ‘go’. We then ascended until we reached our star gazing destination, unfortunately Mother Nature blessed the skies with clouds this evening, so star gazing was minimal, however, again OZzie, was using his laser pens to point on the stars we could see, he explained what stars are, the speed of light, the size of the universe and how it is expanding. He has a way of explaining as if he is telling you a story- he really captured mine and my children’s imagination. This time my Son- he is autistic, needed to go toilet. He thought it was funny, thankfully and did a wee, I was worried he would hold it in and let it go on the coach. Ozzie had said to everyone to ask him where to go, and that we would be directed to an area on the landscape to free wee, we used our phones flash light to guide our path to a big bush. It stank- tissues everywhere again, and my daughter who decided she needed another toilet stop, needed to crouch (female anatomy) slipped and her hand went in someone else’s urine. There was obviously no where to wash hands. Bear in mind, you eat a large meal, have drinks provided and then given the option to buy more drinks once you arrive at the star gazing stop. (Most are gonna need a wee throughout the 6 hour excursion). The toilet situation was the only thing that let this down. What if there had been a person with chrons disease or someone with a weak bladder etc- I really think there should be a coach with toilet or portaloo that is managed by the area keepers, because the smell and used tissues were really ugly to the senses and took away the awe of nature in such a beautiful area. I do think it should be made very clear that there are no toilets en route. My second gripe has nothing to do with the excursion providers, but about the people on the coach. People need to learn some etiquette when leaving the coach, not barging past small kids trying to leave their seat- in the correct order from front to back- very ignorant of people and this wound me up, the same people shoved others out the way to get first look into the telescopes. I do think there are too many people on the trips. We learned a lot from Ozzie; the coach driver was skilled, we enjoyed it for the majority, but I think if we did it again, we would drive ourselves. All in all, 4 stars is deserved for the friendliness, knowledge, organisation and patience of the hosts.

This was an absolutely amazing tour! Ozzy was very knowledgeable and funny. He really made the trip! He told us many facts and fun facts to and from the excursion. We had a lovely 3 course meal which was very tasty and was nice to sit and chat to people and have a meal together - a sense of community! It was also nice to eat at a small business and locally owned restaurant to be honest. Seeing the starts like that was amazing for me and my partner - even had us teary! The telescopes were a fantastic addition and seeing the moon through it, my gosh!! Ozzy was pointing out all the constellations using a laser pen which was very informative and cool! Seeing the sunset before we got to the stars up in the mountains was also very beautiful. We really appreciated Pablo with the van where you could purchase drinks and snacks! The hot chocolate was out of this world! All in all it was amazing and meant a lot to me and my partner as we have a been on a spiritual journey together and space and the stars means everything to us. Thank you for giving us an experience of a lifetime!
