Stargazing Tour, Quick Facts
No Mountain Driving, No Stress, Just Stars
The big win of this trip is simple: pickup service is included. No rental car, no dark roads, no trying to find remote stargazing points alone. You are collected in the south, driven through beautiful mountain landscapes and traditional Canarian villages, and once the sun goes down, the real show begins.
And this is not one of those look-up-at-the-sky-for-10-minutes tours. It is a real astronomy experience with expert guides and professional telescopes: planets, star clusters, distant galaxies, nebulae, and depending on the season, the Milky Way in all its glory. The guides explain everything in a simple, fun way, so complete beginners love it, and if you already like stars, this will probably be one of the highlights of your holiday.
With Pickup Or Self-Drive?
Two ways to join the same starry evening. Either way, the group stays small enough that everyone gets proper telescope time and real interaction with the guide.
- Up to 8 guests travel in the comfortable tour van.
- Collected and returned anywhere between Puerto de Mogán and Bahía Feliz.
- Zero driving, zero navigation, full relaxation both ways.
- Up to 12 self-drive guests can join directly at the mountain location.
- Meet at the viewpoint with your own car, full freedom before and after.
- Prefer this? Just tell us when booking and we send the meeting details.

Your Photo, Then Home

What Can You Actually See?
Honest answer: it depends on the season and the sky, and that is exactly why the astronomy guide checks conditions before every tour. On a good night you may observe planets, star clusters, distant galaxies and nebulae through the telescopes, and in the right months the Milky Way stretches across the whole sky. The guide walks you through it all with a laser pointer and live deep-sky images, so you always know what you are looking at.

Do I need to know anything about astronomy?
Not at all. The tour is designed for beginners and curious travelers. The guide explains everything in an easy and entertaining way so everyone can enjoy the night sky.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Stargazing requires clear skies to properly observe planets, stars, and galaxies. The astronomy instructor carefully monitors the weather and sky conditions before every tour. Only the guide decides if the conditions are good enough for the experience. If the instructor determines that visibility is not suitable for safe or enjoyable stargazing, the tour may be rescheduled or cancelled. In that case, you will be offered a new date or a full refund. If you do not receive any message from Club Canary or the guide, the tour runs as planned. Please note that this decision belongs to the professional instructor running the tour, as it is their responsibility and expertise.
Where does the hotel pickup take place?
Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from the south of Gran Canaria. The pickup area runs between Puerto de Mogán and Bahía Feliz, including the main tourist zones such as Puerto Rico, Amadores, Tauro, Arguineguín, Meloneras, Maspalomas, Playa del Inglés, and San Agustín.
Guests are usually collected directly from their accommodation or from a nearby meeting point if access to the hotel entrance is not possible.
When booking, please write the name of your hotel or resort, not a street address. The pickup system is designed for tourist accommodations and well-known hotels in the area.
After booking, Club Canary confirms the exact pickup time and location with you.
How big are the groups on the Gran Canaria stargazing tour?
The tour is designed to stay small so everyone can enjoy the telescopes and interact with the astronomy guide. Normally up to 8 guests travel in the tour van, and additional guests may join the experience with the self-drive option at the stargazing location. Even when self-drive guests join, the group remains relatively small compared to large bus tours.
What should I wear for the Gran Canaria stargazing tour?
Even though Gran Canaria is warm during the day, the mountain areas can become quite cold at night, especially after sunset. We strongly recommend wearing warm clothes and dressing in layers, along with closed shoes. A limited number of coats are available for guests to borrow, but it is best to come prepared so you can comfortably enjoy the night sky.
Booking last minute or a date looks full? Always double check real availability with us first, we can often still fit you in.

This is the pick for travellers who want the full stargazing experience without the driving: sunset above the clouds, a proper telescope session with expert guides, and a comfortable transfer from the south of the island. That combination is what makes this one such a strong deal.
Booking with Club Canary stays easy: small deposit, fast confirmation, great group discounts, and local support that actually helps. Prefer more freedom? The self-drive option lets you meet at the viewpoint with your own car. But if you want to sit back and just enjoy the stars, this is the winner.
