Guida autonoma per l'osservazione delle stelle, Curiosità in breve
Osservazione delle stelle al Teide senza transfer, La serata dedicata alla guida autonoma per gli automobilisti
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+ recensioni verificate.
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 e 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?
Noi corriamo 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.
Tour al tramonto e osservazione delle stelle
40€ a persona
- 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 Tour al tramonto e osservazione delle stelle and keep the difference. Both are good nights, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to sell you the dearer one.
La notte di guida autonoma, passo dopo passo
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.
- 2Circa 20 minuti
Convoglio nel Parco Nazionale del 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.
- 3Da 90 a 120 min
Tour del cielo con laser e telescopi
An English-only laser presentation with Celestron Evolution 8 telescopes. Planets, constellations and, on a clear night, the Milky Way straight over Teide.
- 4In qualsiasi momento
Aiuto per astrofotografia con lo 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.
- 5Circa 3 o 4 ore dopo l'inizio
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 tour guidato di osservazione delle stelle al Monte Teide with hotel pickup instead. Same sky, zero driving. Want the night entirely to yourselves? That is Osservazione delle stelle privata VIP.

FAQ sull'osservazione delle stelle al Teide in autonomia
The questions drivers ask us most before this night. Still unsure? Message our local team on WhatsApp, aperto tutti i giorni dalle 08:00 alle 22:00.
Cos'è il tour di osservazione delle stelle al Teide senza servizio di prelievo?
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.
Ho bisogno della mia macchina per questo tour di osservazione delle stelle al Teide?
Sì. Questa versione non include il servizio di prelievo in hotel, quindi è necessaria un'auto a noleggio o un veicolo proprio. Se non avete un'auto, il tour guidato principale per l'osservazione delle stelle al Monte Teide con prelievo in hotel è la scelta giusta.
Qual è il punto d'incontro per il tour di osservazione delle stelle con auto propria?
Il punto di incontro è 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.
Guidare sul Monte Teide di notte è sicuro?
Sì. Il percorso utilizza normali strade di montagna asfaltate e gli ospiti seguono il veicolo della guida da Chio fino al luogo di osservazione delle stelle selezionato, a circa 20-30 minuti di distanza. Guidate con prudenza, mantenete una distanza di sicurezza e seguite le istruzioni della guida.
Quanto dura l'esperienza di osservazione delle stelle al Teide in autonomia?
Circa 3 o 4 ore dal punto d'incontro: circa 45-60 minuti per il check-in, le tapas e il briefing a Chio, 20 minuti di tragitto in convoglio e da 90 a 120 minuti di tempo effettivo di osservazione delle stelle sotto i telescopi.
Le tapas e le bevande sono incluse?
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.
Quali telescopi vengono utilizzati durante il tour?
Telescopi professionali Celestron Evolution 8, combinati con un tour del cielo guidato al laser. La guida mostra pianeti, costellazioni e, nelle notti limpide, la Via Lattea sopra il Teide.
Quanto è grande il gruppo e quale lingua viene parlata?
Di solito da 10 a 12 ospiti in totale, con un massimo di 16. L'intera esperienza si svolge esclusivamente in inglese, senza commenti bilingue, il che mantiene la serata tranquilla e facile da seguire.
È più economico di un tour di osservazione delle stelle con prelievo in hotel?
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 Tour al tramonto e osservazione delle stelle a 40€, which has no picnic and a slightly larger group. And if you have no car at all, the tour guidato di osservazione delle stelle al Monte Teide with hotel pickup is the right choice instead.
Cosa succede se il tempo è nuvoloso?
La guida monitora le condizioni prima di ogni tour. Se la notte non è sicura o non ne vale la pena, verrete avvisati almeno 2 ore prima dell'inizio e potrete scegliere tra un cambio di data gratuito o un rimborso completo. Nessun messaggio significa che il tour si svolge.
Posso andare via in autonomia dopo la sessione di osservazione delle stelle?
Sì. Dopo la sessione con il telescopio, puoi seguire il furgone della guida verso Tenerife Sud o partire in autonomia quando preferisci. Questa libertà è uno dei motivi principali per cui gli automobilisti scelgono questa versione.
Perché prenotare l'esperienza tramite Club Canary?
Club Canary offre assistenza in loco, una semplice procedura di prenotazione con caparra e informazioni chiare prima dell'inizio del tour. Riceverai una conferma rapida e l'assistenza di un team con sede a Tenerife, disponibile tutti i giorni dalle 08:00 alle 22:00, oltre alla Garanzia del Miglior Prezzo.
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 25€ deposito 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 Tour al tramonto e osservazione delle stelle usually has more availability, including Sundays.
Politica Di Prenotazione
Deposit e pagamento
Confermate il vostro posto con un deposito di 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.
Cancellazione
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.
Spese di cancellazione tardiva
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.
Meteo
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 ore 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.
Responsabilità e Condotta
Questa opzione self-drive si aggiunge alla nostra 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.
Foto
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.
Assistenza
Domande o modifiche? Inviare un'e-mail a info@clubcanary.com. Refunds on the night need the guide's approval, since the balance is paid directly to them.

L'Opinione Sincera di Club Canary
Parola schietta dal vostro team locale delle Isole Canarie
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 Tour al tramonto e osservazione delle stelle è 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.
