Your Mount Teide Stargazing Experience Includes:
- Convenient Transport: Pickup and drop-off from your hotel in South Tenerife (between Los Cristianos and Costa Adeje).
- Important Pickup Info: Areas like Palm Mar, Golf del Sur, Costa del Silencio, El Médano, or Las Galletas are not included because traffic at that time makes it impossible. If you are staying there, you can come to our meeting point at X-Sur Centro Comercial parking or book a private stargazing trip instead.
- Small Group Transport: Maximum 8 people in the bus.
- Self-Drive Option: There is space for 8 additional guests who choose to self-drive and meet at the picnic location. These guests join for the stargazing but are not in the bus. This means the group can sometimes be up to 16 people in total. If you want a fully private experience, we recommend booking a private stargazing trip.
- Sunset Viewing: Watch a beautiful sunset from Teide National Park.
- Picnic and Drinks: Enjoy a picnic with drinks as the sun sets.
- Canarian Tapas: Savor a selection of Canarian tapas.
- Photography Stops: We’ll stop at specific spots perfect for taking photos.

Mount Teide Stargazing Trip information
- When you book your Mount Teide stargazing tour with Club Canary, make sure to bring your ticket, either on your phone or printed. To confirm your spot, you only pay a deposit of 40€ per person online. This gives you peace of mind, as your place is guaranteed straight away, even in busy periods. The remaining 40€ is paid in cash on the day of the trip. This easy payment system keeps things flexible and secure.
- Since the stargazing happens at high altitude, nights can get cold, so pack some warm clothes. For a clear idea of the temperature, check this [website] and select “Teide mid 2000 meters.”
- This is a small-group Teide stargazing trip, with a maximum of 8 people in the van. In some cases, up to 8 extra guests can join by driving themselves to the meeting point for the picnic and telescope experience, making it a total of up to 16 people. If you prefer complete privacy, you can always book a VIP private stargazing tour.
- The tour is only in English, which makes it much more comfortable compared to other Tenerife stargazing tours that mix different languages in the same bus.
- Pickups are included from hotels in Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, and Los Cristianos. For areas like Palm Mar, Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas, Golf del Sur, or El Médano, pickups are not possible because of heavy traffic at that time of day. Guests from those areas can meet at the X-Sur Centro Comercial in Costa Adeje, which has easy parking and cafés if you arrive early.
- If you’re staying in Puerto de la Cruz or the north of Tenerife, this tour does not include pickup. You can still join by booking the No-Pickup Stargazing Tour. Another option is the private stargazing trip, which includes pickup in most northern areas for an extra 150€ per booking.
- For some other areas in the south, pickup is possible with a small extra fee, paid directly to the driver: Playa Paraíso +10€, Abama and Los Gigantes +30€ (per booking, not per person).
- If you already know pickup isn’t possible where you’re staying and you have your own car, simply write “X-Sur Centro Comercial” in the pickup box when booking. It’s one of the last meeting points before heading up, and it’s an easy spot to park and wait.

Mount Teide Stargazing
Mount Teide, in Tenerife, is one of the best places in the world to go stargazing. At over 3,700 meters high (12,000 feet) and far from the city lights, the conditions here are perfect for a clear night sky. It’s a magical spot for anyone who loves astronomy or just wants to see the stars in a breathtaking way.
But here’s the thing: most tourists end up booking through their hotel, a big tour operator, or large websites running ads. These trips are focused on volume, not quality. They rarely mention how many people are on the bus, usually it’s 50+, and people think they’re getting the “best option.” The reality? Long pick-ups at endless hotels, mixed languages in the same group, and food stops high up in the mountains where the quality and service are often disappointing.
That’s why this exclusive offer from Club Canary is the best choice if you want to book with a trusted local company. This trip is not available through hotels, big tour operators, or large booking sites, it’s only bookable with Club Canary.
Stargazing Mount Teide: A Small Group Experience
The Mount Teide stargazing experience here stands apart from the bigger trips such as Teide by Night and Tenerife Stars. These large-group tours are not bad at all, in fact, they can be a great choice if you like being around lots of people and want a more social experience. Club Canary also offers these trips, and many guests enjoy them. They are also far more professional than the so-called “stargazing tours” arranged by some tour operators, where the guides often have little to no real astronomy knowledge.
The difference is that large groups usually mean longer pick-ups, mixed languages, and food stops that can feel a bit standard. With this small-group option, the van is limited to just 8 people, so you avoid the waiting times and enjoy a more personal, smooth, and comfortable experience.
Mount Teide Stargazing Trip: A Journey to Remember
The Mount Teide stargazing journey begins with a dazzling display, as Teide is renowned as one of the best places on Tenerife to watch the sunset. Prior to this spectacle, there’s ample time to explore the national park, while the guide provides insights into the area’s volcanic landscapes. Post-sunset, the night sky becomes a captivating stage set for stargazing. With the guidance of an expert, you’ll uncover why Teide National Park holds a prestigious Starlight tourist destination certification.
Stargazing on Mount Teide: A Year-Round Spectacle
The true allure of stargazing on Mount Teide is the year-round visibility of planets and star constellations. Each stargazing Tenerife experience offers a unique and unforgettable spectacle. Choose the trip that speaks to your curiosity and immerse your senses in the celestial show. If you prefer a more intimate setting, you can book your small-group experience on this page. For those desiring an even more exclusive experience, consider the VIP stargazing option.
Possibly The Best Mount Teide Tenerife Stargazing Tour of 2025
Why might our Mount Teide stargazing tour be your top pick for stargazing in 2025? One major reason is our commitment to keeping the group small, just 8 people per van. This smaller group size means significantly shorter wait times compared to other tours. Larger stargazing Mount Teide excursions often involve buses that need to visit multiple hotels to pick up participants, which can extend the waiting period significantly. With our tours, the van only needs to make a few stops, allowing more time for stargazing and less time spent in transit.
