Overview

At over 2,000 metres above sea level in Teide National Park, the moonlit landscape is truly otherworldly, a UNESCO World Heritage Site bathed in silver light with low light pollution. Through our professional telescopes, the Moon reveals extraordinary detail: craters, mountain ranges and vast lunar seas impossible to see with the naked eye.
Groups are kept small so every guest can look through the telescope and receive individual attention from our Starlight-certified guides.
The tour begins with a naked-eye sky orientation: constellations, the Polar Star, zodiacal zone, planets and more.
We then move to the professional telescopes for an unforgettable close-up of the Moon alongside any planets visible and other bright objects such as clusters. A second telescope dedicated to astrophotography captures real-time images during the tour — we send them to you afterwards as a gift. With more than 20 years of experience, we are one of Tenerife's most established astronomical operators.

What's Included

  • Live astrophotography session with a smart telescope
  • Images of some of the observed astronomical objects sent after the activity (free of charge)
  • Naked-eye sky orientation with professional laser pointer
  • Transport
