Fantastic experience. We have done tours up Teide before and this exceeded them all. Lovely to have to stop near Vilaflor for a coffee, and the stop in the crater was incredible. Food was nice, and well catered to allergens. One of the best excursions we have ever done - sunset over the clouds was magical as was the stargazing. My only criticism was the place we stargazed had frequent cars passing, so the darkness was frequently interrupted. When we have done tours before we had a much more protected area without disruption. It would also have been nice to have 10 minutes just to relax and watch the stars after the interesting constellation talk and telescopes. In all a magic trip, and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Then a stop in landscape great to see walk . Dinner then not bad pumpkin soup schnitzel veg potatoes Choclate mouse lots of drinks on table wine water coke fanta . Off to sunset which was good but unfortunately a bit hazy . Then toilet stop and star gazing which was best japer so knowledgeable stars amazing . Then telescope stop amazing and back at drop off for just after 11.30 . The only reason not give the pick up not from hotel we stayed at med place but pick up 10 mins walk away at best Tenerife not sure why could not be nearer when it was for others . Also short toliet stop 30 mins felt to long . Overall though good trip
We had an absolutely incredible experience on the Teide by Night tour with our fantastic tour guide, Nico. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised. We were picked up promptly from our sister hotel, Princess Inspire Tenerife, and the coach was very comfortable, making the journey relaxing and enjoyable. Nico was amazing – extremely informative, knowledgeable, and happy to answer every question throughout the trip. The food was also really good and added to the overall experience. The highlight of the evening was definitely watching the sunset above the clouds. It was absolutely phenomenal and unlike anything I have ever experienced before – truly breathtaking! The stargazing was equally incredible and is an absolute must. Seeing the colours of the stars so clearly in one of the best places on the planet for stargazing was something we will never forget. 10/10 – we would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Tenerife. We can't wait to come back and experience it all over again! 🌅✨⭐️
Around 3:00 PM I was picked up from the north. The guide Pepe had a nice story everywhere so that you learned more about the island. Stops everywhere to walk and enjoy the view. The food was good, but it was very busy, but it was arranged well and efficiently. The sunset was beautiful and the stars are looking too. Also here again an explanation about the stars. Looking through the telescope was breathtaking to see. If you are in Tenerife, then skip this.
Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie en uitgebreide review! Wat fijn om te lezen dat u zo heeft genoten van de dag, van de verschillende stops en uitzichten tot de prachtige zonsondergang en de avond onder de sterren. We zijn blij dat Pepe met zijn verhalen en uitleg heeft kunnen bijdragen aan een bijzondere ervaring en dat het eten, ondanks de drukte, goed en vlot geregeld was. En natuurlijk geweldig om te horen dat het kijken door de telescoop zo indrukwekkend voor u was! Bedankt voor uw aanbeveling. We hopen u in de toekomst nog eens te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuwe mooie ervaring op Tenerife!
Wow , just Wow . The most wonderfully experienced of our time in Tenerife, from the moment we were picked up , Jesper our guide was a wealth of knowledge and a real gem of a host . Meal was great all staff were very welcoming and professional. Star gazing was immense, and yet again talked through everything we seen and were using with a great passion for the subject. Highly recommended 10/10
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience in Tenerife and that Jesper made your trip even more special with his enthusiasm and knowledge. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the dinner, the hospitality from our team, and especially the night under the stars. Sharing the beauty of the Tenerife sky with our guests is something we truly love, so your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you for recommending us and for joining us on this unforgettable evening. We hope to welcome you back to Tenerife and the stars again soon!
We recently did this with our 3 kids (14, 12 and 9). The 9 year old was fine on the long journey and enjoyed the sunset and star gazing. My only complaint was the food. My kids were all offered the same 3 courses as us (pumpkin soup, chicken, veg and potatoes followed by chocolate mousse. I asked could my youngest have a kids meal instead and they said the restaurant does not cook chips!!! When we arrived we watched one of the waiters bring out a plate of chips. I offered to pay for the chips but they still wouldn't entertain it. My sister in law had been the week before and had told me her son had pizza and chips so I knew they were blatantly lying to me which put a dampener on the night.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re very pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed the tour, especially the sunset, stargazing, and the information provided by the guide. Regarding the food, for children we do offer pizza as an alternative. Chips, however, are only included as part of one of our vegan meal options. We’re sorry for any confusion or misunderstanding during your visit. Nevertheless, we will make sure to pass your comments on to both the restaurant and the guide so they can take them into account when explaining to future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re glad that overall you had a good time during the tour.
This was a fantastic experience. Coach pick up was smooth then we went to nice coffee shop for drinks and ice cream. We had few stops for pictures. Then we went to Papillon restaurant for meal. Then sunset watching and then star gazing through telescopes and then we had time with our guide Elena who showed us constellations and shared interesting things about night sky. Then back to hotels . Tour was very well organised. Our driver Ruben was great and very friendly, our guide Elena was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly as well. Shared many interesting facts about island, Teide national park and Mount Teide. Only disappointing thing was meal at Papillon restaurant desk. Vegetable soup and dessert were ok, but main meal was bad. Chicken snitzel like thing was frozen from supermarket and then put to oven or something like that. Was edible but not good at all. There was only one set menu. At restaurant was around hundred people but everything was well organised. At booking was no option without meal. My suggestion is it should be like three set menus to choose from. Only option was chicken or vegetable lasagna for vegetarian/vegans. Star gazing was the best experience. That night sky is the best place to see stars you can find as no clouds (they are below where you are) and no light pollution. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Thank you so much for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that you had a fantastic experience and that you enjoyed the different stops, the sunset, and especially the stargazing. We’re also very happy to hear your kind words about our driver Ruben and our guide Elena. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with them! We’re sorry to hear that the main course at Papillon Restaurant did not meet your expectations. We really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the menu options, and we will certainly pass your comments on to the restaurant team for their consideration. We’re glad that, despite this, you enjoyed the overall experience and would recommend the tour to others. Thank you again for joining us and for taking the time to share your experience!
Amazing! Completely worth the money, we had an amazing day and even more spectacular evening with the incredible Jasper/ Jesper (sorry, don't know the spelling!) who was simply amazing - so friendly, knowledgeable and made the evening truly spectacular. Our coach driver was also incredible. Fantastic stops to see the amazing views and landscapes, amazing dinner with large portions included, and the stargazing and telescopes really were incredible. Remember to bring a jacket as it can get chilly even in August! Seeing the sunset was a remarkable experience. I really recommend. If booking via TUI, don't forget to book via the TUI app for a 10% discount. One thing that could be better - the pickup location is quite some way from TUI BLUE Atlantic Hills - it would be nice if it could have been a direct pick up from the hotel. I also wouldn't recommend this for children - it is definitely an adults trip. Definitely the best trip we've ever done - thank you!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that the experience exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, sunset, dinner and especially the astronomy session. It’s wonderful to know that Jesper’s enthusiasm and knowledge helped make the evening so enjoyable, and we’ll be happy to share your kind words with him and our driver. We also appreciate your comments regarding the pickup location and your advice for future guests about bringing something warm. Feedback like this is very valuable to us. Thank you again for recommending us and for making us part of such a memorable holiday in Tenerife!
What an amazing experience this trip was for all of our family! In our opinion it was well worth the money that we paid for it, it was a full 8 hour excursion. We got picked up just up the road from our hotel at 3.30pm and got back at around 1.15am! Alvusto (probably spelt that wrong!), our driver was amazing on the tiny roads up to the national park and Helena our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. I’d read some poor reviews about the restaurant but we had no complaints, the food was quite ok, I was expecting worse after what I’d read but we thought it was alright. We honestly do not have a negative comment to make on this trip, there was lots of stops, gorgeous views and it felt so surreal! We were up there on the night of the solar eclipse too which made it even more special. The stargazing…… we’ve never seen anything like it!! Definitely one we’d all recommend! 🌋✨🔭
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful family experience! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the full journey, from the scenic stops and volcanic landscapes to the sunset and incredible night sky. It’s especially fantastic that your visit coincided with the solar eclipse, making the evening even more memorable. We’re also pleased that you felt comfortable throughout the journey and enjoyed Elena’s company and explanations. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to both Elena and our driver. Thank you for recommending us , it was a pleasure having your family with us!
An Unforgettable Experience Teide by Night was an absolutely amazing and unforgettable experience! 🌋✨ Our host, Isabelle, was absolutely fabulous — incredibly knowledgeable, warm, friendly, and such a lovely person.

I would highly recommend Teide by Night to anyone visiting Tenerife. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a memorable evening with us.
