Fantastic, the enthusiasm that Karen had was amazing. It felt like we had been lifted to another place in the stars. Saturn, Milky way, the moon like we have never seen before, even M6 (not the road). Shooting stars appeared on demand. Highly recommend Thank you Karen for an amazing and memorable evening.
Experiencing Saturn, the Milky Way, and the Moon in that much detail is always incredible, but we’re extra glad the M6 cluster and the shooting stars put on a show for you. I’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Karen.
Our teenage boys loved it and are looking forward to camping under the stars next time !
Instilling a love for the night sky in the next generation of stargazers is always a highlight for us. We’d love to welcome you all back for a night under the stars under a tent! :)
Fab experience and very cool to lay in the Dunnes and listen to the waves and learn about the stars
There is nothing quite like relaxing into the sand and taking in the stars in.
Karen is extremely passionate which really brings the experience to life. We got very lucky and saw the Milky Way, and Karen talked us through multiple celestial objects and let us view certain things through the telescope. All in all a perfect night and a great activity to do with your partner!
Karen will be so happy to hear your kind words, she really does love sharing the magic of the night sky! We’re so glad you two had a clear view of the Milky Way and enjoyed a perfect evening together.
A memorable night, thank you ☺️

The most wonderful experience Star gazing with Karen at the Sand Dunes in Corralejo. I would definitely recommend this! Thank you Karen! We will be back!
The Corralejo Sand Dunes really are a magical spot for stargazing, and we’re so glad Karen helped make it such a memorable experience for you. We look forward to seeing you again next time!
Myself and my 2 daughters (16 and 11) saw the Fuerte sky last night with Karen. Wow , what an experience !! Being able to look at the moons surface , Jupiter and seeing star clusters etc through the telescope was breathtaking Karen showed us how to look for the star “shapes” (newbie here ) and what stars were where .. for complete newbies, it was mesmerising to see and understand more about the sky !! The time flew by and u don’t need to bring a thing Book it - u won’t be disappointed
We are absolutely thrilled that you and your daughters had such a great time stargazing with Karen. Bringing the night sky to life for "newbies" is exactly why we do what we do. Karen will be delighted to hear that her guiding made the experience so special and easy to follow for your family. Thanks for booking with us, and keep looking up!
Had a wonderful time on this experience. Had no idea what to expect as something like this would typically be completely unavailable where I am from but this was a wonderful evening. Though the wind was coming and going it was still warm enough and Karen was a delight to be with. Extremely kind as well picking everyone up. Overall would very much recommend
We love hearing that we could provide a totally new experience for you. Mother Nature likes to keep us on our toes with the wind. Thanks for highly recommending us, safe travels!
The stargazing in the dunes excursion was absolutely magical and one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Our guide, Karen, was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about astronomy, making the whole evening both relaxing and fascinating. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone looking for something unique and peaceful.
Thank you for your kind words.There really is something special about the peace of the dunes at night. I’ll be sure to share your compliments with Karen. She truly loves sharing the wonders of the night sky with our guests. We hope to welcome you back for another celestial adventure soon.
