Observation des étoiles en voiture, En bref
Observation des étoiles au Teide sans transfert, La nuit de la conduite autonome pour les conducteurs
Renting a car in Tenerife? Then skip the big buses, the hour of hotel pick-ups and the commentary repeated in four languages. This one is built for drivers. You meet the guide at the Moeve Chio service station in Chío, on the western road up into the park. Tapas and drinks, a proper briefing, then you follow the guide's van to a dark-sky spot inside Teide National Park for an English-only telescope session. Small group, no waiting, and you leave whenever you like at the end.
Below: the honest comparison with our cheaper self-drive night, so you pick the right one rather than the first one.
Reserve with a 25€ deposit and pay the remaining 30€ in cash to the guide at check-in. If the sky is not right, you reschedule or get a full refund, and the guide tells you at least 2 hours before. Real people on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00, Best Price Guarantee and instant confirmation. Rated 4.8/5 from 1 375+ avis vérifiés.
55€ per person. 25€ deposit reserves your place. Meet at Chío, drive yourself.
Where We Meet, And Why It Changed
The meeting point is now the Moeve Chio service station at P.º de la Libertad 49, in the village of Chío, on the western route up into Teide National Park.
A petrol station might sound unglamorous, and it is, but it is far easier to find in the dark than a picnic area, it is lit, there is space to park and there is somewhere to use the toilet before a three-hour night out. Mobile signal inside the park is patchy, so meeting somewhere nobody can miss matters more than meeting somewhere pretty. From there you follow the guide, and the pretty part comes later.
📍 Please Use The Pin, Not The Old Address
If you booked this tour before and remember a different meeting spot, or if an old guide or blog mentions one, ignore it. The Moeve Chio station is the current meeting point and it is the one on your ticket.
Your exact meeting time is confirmed on your booking, because it shifts with the season. Roughly 18:00 to 18:30 in winter et 19:15 to 19:30 in summer.
Got A Car In Tenerife? This Is Your Stargazing Night
Check in at Chío, have some Canarian tapas and a drink, meet the guide and the rest of the group, then follow the van about 20 minutes to the spot. You get a laser-guided sky presentation and Celestron Evolution 8 telescopes, and roughly three hours after meeting you are back at your own car, free to drive home or carry on with your evening.
Nights at altitude are cold even in summer, so bring layers. Spare jackets can sometimes be lent, but do not count on it. The night depends on the sky: if the guide calls it off you hear at least two hours before and you reschedule or get your money back.

Two Self-Drive Nights, Which One Is Yours?
Nous courons two self-drive stargazing trips, and they are not the same. Rather than let you guess, here is the difference in plain terms.
This One, Teide Stargazing No Pick-Up
55€ per person
- Includes a picnic with Canarian tapas, wine, cava, beer and soft drinks.
- A slightly smaller group, usually 10 to 12 and never more than 16.
- You meet, eat, chat and get to know the group before heading up.
- Celestron Evolution 8 telescopes and a laser sky tour, in English.
Visite du coucher du soleil et observation des étoiles
40 € par personne
- No picnic. You go for the sky, not the snacks.
- A slightly larger group, though still nothing like a coach tour.
- Also self-drive, also guided, also a real telescope session.
- More availability, including Sundays.
🍴 Being honest about the food. The picnic is a nice extra, not a dinner. Tapas, a drink, something in your hand while the sun goes down and the group stops being strangers. It is genuinely good for the atmosphere. It will not replace a meal.
So if that sounds worth 15€ to you, book this one. If you would rather eat properly beforehand and just go for the stars, take the Visite du coucher du soleil et observation des étoiles and keep the difference. Both are good nights, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to sell you the dearer one.
La Nuit de la conduite autonome, pas à pas
From Chío To The Milky Way
- 1At Your Meeting Time
Check-In At Chío
Arrive by car at the Moeve Chio station, quick check-in with the guide, then Canarian tapas with wine, cava, beer and soft drinks, plus the briefing. Around 45 to 60 minutes.
- 2Environ 20 minutes
Convoi dans le parc national du Teide
Driving up at night is easy in convoy. Normal paved roads, the guide's van ahead, a careful pace, and help parking when you arrive.
- 390 à 120 min
Visite du ciel au laser et télescopes
An English-only laser presentation with Celestron Evolution 8 telescopes. Planets, constellations and, on a clear night, the Milky Way straight over Teide.
- 4N'importe quand
Aide à l'astrophotographie sur smartphone
The guide can help you photograph the sky with your own phone, and often shares their own photos within 3 to 4 days. That is a free extra, not a promise.
- 5Environ 3 à 4 heures de jeu
Leave When You Like
Follow the guide's van back towards the south, or drive off on your own whenever you want. That freedom is the entire point of this version.
Why Self-Drive Makes Sense If You Already Have A Car
If you have already paid for a hire car, paying again for a seat on a bus is money for nothing. This is the same guide, the same telescopes and the same tapas as our main Teide night, without the pick-up routes and without the price that carries them. It is not a private tour and not a mass excursion. It sits in between, which is exactly where most people with a car want to be.
No car? Then take the visite guidée d'observation des étoiles au mont Teide with hotel pickup instead. Same sky, zero driving. Want the night entirely to yourselves? That is Observation des étoiles privée VIP.

FAQ sur l'observation des étoiles au Teide en voiture
The questions drivers ask us most before this night. Still unsure? Message our local team on WhatsApp, ouvert tous les jours de 8 h à 22 h.
Qu'est-ce que l'excursion d'observation des étoiles au Teide sans transfert ?
It is Club Canary's guided self-drive stargazing night in Teide National Park. You drive your own car to the Moeve Chio service station in Chío, enjoy Canarian tapas and drinks with the guide and the group, then follow the guide's van about 20 minutes to a dark-sky spot inside the park for a telescope session, fully in English. It runs about 3 to 4 hours in total and costs 55€ per person.
Ai-je besoin de ma propre voiture pour cette excursion d'observation des étoiles au Teide ?
Oui. Cette version n'inclut pas de prise en charge à l'hôtel, une voiture de location ou votre propre véhicule est donc nécessaire. Si vous n'avez pas de voiture, la visite guidée principale d'observation des étoiles au mont Teide avec prise en charge à l'hôtel est le bon choix à la place.
Quel est le point de rendez-vous pour la visite guidée d'observation des étoiles en voiture ?
Le point de rendez-vous est le Moeve Chio service station at P.º de la Libertad 49 in the village of Chío, on the western road up into Teide National Park. The exact Google Maps pin is on this page and on your ticket. Club Canary chose a service station on purpose: it is lit, easy to find in the dark, has space to park and a toilet before a three-hour night out, which a picnic area does not. Meeting times are between 18:00 and 18:30 in winter and between 19:15 and 19:30 in summer, and your exact time is always confirmed on your booking. If you have seen an older meeting point mentioned anywhere, ignore it and use the pin on your ticket.
Est-il sûr de monter au Teide en voiture de nuit ?
Oui. L'itinéraire emprunte des routes de montagne asphaltées normales, et les invités suivent le véhicule du guide de Chio jusqu'au lieu d'observation des étoiles sélectionné, soit environ 20 à 30 minutes de trajet. Conduisez prudemment, gardez une distance de sécurité et suivez les instructions du guide.
Combien de temps dure l'expérience d'observation des étoiles en voiture autonome au Teide ?
À environ 3 à 4 heures du point de rendez-vous : environ 45 à 60 minutes pour l'enregistrement, les tapas et le briefing à Chio, un trajet en convoi de 20 minutes, et 90 à 120 minutes de temps réel d'observation des étoiles sous les télescopes.
Les tapas et les boissons sont-ils inclus ?
Yes. Canarian tapas with wine, cava, beer and soft drinks are included at check-in with the guide before the group heads up into the park. Club Canary will be honest with you about it though: this is a picnic, not a dinner. It is a nice extra and the eating together is what turns a group of strangers into a group, but do not skip your evening meal for it. Any alcohol served is light and entirely optional, since you drive your own car afterwards.
Quels télescopes sont utilisés pendant la visite ?
Télescopes professionnels Celestron Evolution 8, combinés à une visite du ciel guidée par laser. Le guide montre les planètes, les constellations et, lors des nuits claires, la Voie lactée au-dessus du Teide.
Quelle est la taille du groupe et quelle langue est utilisée ?
Généralement 10 à 12 invités au total, avec un maximum de 16. L'expérience complète se déroule uniquement en anglais, sans commentaires bilingues, ce qui rend la soirée calme et facile à suivre.
Est-ce moins cher qu'une excursion d'observation des étoiles avec prise en charge à l'hôtel ?
Yes. This self-drive night is 55€ per person and costs less than the version with hotel pickup, because the transport is removed and nothing else changes: same guide, same Celestron telescopes, same tapas. If you already have a rental car it is the better value. Club Canary also runs an even cheaper self-drive option, the Visite du coucher du soleil et observation des étoiles à 40€, which has no picnic and a slightly larger group. And if you have no car at all, the visite guidée d'observation des étoiles au mont Teide with hotel pickup is the right choice instead.
Que se passe-t-il si le temps est nuageux ?
Le guide surveille les conditions avant chaque visite. Si la nuit n'est pas sûre ou n'en vaut pas la peine, vous en êtes informé au moins 2 heures avant le début et vous choisissez entre un report gratuit ou un remboursement complet. Pas de message signifie que la visite a lieu.
Puis-je partir de manière autonome après la séance d'observation des étoiles ?
Oui. Après la session de télescope, vous pouvez suivre le van du guide vers le sud de Ténérife ou partir de manière autonome quand vous le souhaitez. Cette liberté est l'une des principales raisons pour lesquelles les conducteurs choisissent cette version.
Pourquoi réserver cette expérience via Club Canary ?
Club Canary propose une assistance locale, une réservation simple et des informations claires avant l'excursion. Vous bénéficiez d'une confirmation rapide et de l'aide d'une équipe basée à Ténérife, disponible tous les jours de 8 h à 22 h, ainsi que d'une garantie du meilleur prix.
How much does the self-drive stargazing tour cost, and how do I pay?
55€ per person, and children pay the same as adults. You reserve your place with Club Canary by paying a Dépôt 25€ online, then pay the remaining 30€ per person in cash directly to the guide at check-in in Chío. Bring the cash with you, there is no card machine on a mountain. The deposit counts towards the total, it is not an extra charge. Places are limited to 16 people, so booking ahead is sensible, especially in the busier months.
Booking last minute or a date looks full? Check with us first, we can often still fit you in. The Visite du coucher du soleil et observation des étoiles usually has more availability, including Sundays.
Politique De Réservation
Deposit et paiement
Vous confirmez votre place par un Dépôt de 25 € per person, which counts towards the total. The remaining 30€ per person is paid in cash to the guide at check-in in Chío. The deposit holds your reservation but does not cover a late cancellation or a no-show. Check your confirmation email after booking and tell us immediately if anything is wrong.
Annulation
Individuals and groups under 5: free cancellation up to 48 hours before.
Groups of 5 or more: free up to 4 days before.
Groups of 10 or more: free up to 7 days before.
After the free window the deposit is lost and further costs may apply. No refund for a no-show or a same-day cancellation.
Frais d'annulation tardive
Individuals and groups under 5: cancelling 11 to 47 hours before means losing 50% of the deposit plus 50% of the balance. Under 11 hours means the full deposit plus the full balance.
Groups of 5 or more: between 24 hours and 3 days before, the 50% rule. Under 24 hours, the full amount.
Groups of 10 or more: between 48 hours and 6 days before, the 50% rule. Under 48 hours, the full amount.
Météo
The night depends on the sky. If the guide decides it is not safe or not worth it, you reschedule or get a full refund. We aim to tell you at least 2 heures before the start time. No message means the tour runs. The exact spot inside the park may change with cloud or wind, and self-drive guests follow the guide's van for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Late Arrivals
Arrive on time at the Moeve Chio station. Once the group leaves, reception inside the park is limited. If you are late we will try to help, and in the worst case you can drive on at your own cost to catch up. If joining is not possible, the late cancellation fees apply. Keep the phone number you gave us reachable, the guide usually uses WhatsApp.
Responsabilité et conduite
Cette option d'autotour s'ajoute à notre small-group stargazing night, and Club Canary works with licensed local partners. Follow the safety instructions and drive carefully in convoy. Disrespectful behaviour can mean exclusion without a refund. Raise anything on the night directly with the guide, that is the fastest route to a fix.
Photos
The guide often shares photos within 3 to 4 days. It is a free extra rather than a paid service and cannot be guaranteed. The guide messages you directly, so there is no need to contact the office about it.
Looking After Teide
No litter, keep to marked areas, and keep light and noise down. Bins are available in the park. Bring your own warm layers where you can, spares are limited.

L'Avis Honnête de Club Canary
En toute franchise, de la part de votre équipe locale des Îles Canaries
Got a car? This is the one. Same guide, same Celestron telescopes, same sky as our main night, minus the pick-up routes and minus the price that pays for them.
The choice worth thinking about is between our two self-drive nights. This one is 55€ with a picnic and a slightly smaller group. The Visite du coucher du soleil et observation des étoiles est 40€ without the food. We will be straight with you: the tapas are a nice touch and the eating together is what turns a group of strangers into a group, but it is not a dinner. Worth 15€ to some people and not to others.
No rental car? Book the main guided tour with hotel pickup instead. Want the sky entirely to yourselves? The private version exists.
One deposit, one easy drive, and a sky that makes people go quiet. Built for drivers.
