Sunset & Stargazing Tour Tenerife

It is a small-group evening in Teide National Park with Club Canary. First you rise above the cloud layer and watch the sunset with a glass of sparkling wine. Once it is dark, the group moves higher into the park and looks at the Moon, planets, star clusters and galaxies through two telescopes, with two expert guides. It runs every night, Sunday included, and is guided in English. Club Canary added this tour in September 2026 and it is already one of our favourite nights out. Booking is fast and easy, you just pick your option on this page.

The tour with hotel pickup is 75€ per person, children 5+ pay the same and infants under 5 are free if you bring your own car seat. The self-drive tour is 40€ per adult, 25€ for children aged 4 to 12, and free under 4. A private night for your own group starts at 499€ for up to 8 people, and goes up to 24 with extra vans. You pay a small deposit online to book in seconds, and the rest in cash on the night, with the Club Canary Best Price Guarantee behind every booking.

The night itself is the same: sunset above the clouds, then two telescopes and two guides. The only difference is how you get there and how private it is. With VIP we collect you at your hotel and bring you back, maximum 16 guests. With self-drive you drive up yourself and meet the guides on site, the budget-friendly way, maximum 30. With private the whole evening is just for your group, with your own guides and vans and hotel pickup included, up to 24 people. All three book directly on this page.

No, there are no toilet stops during the transfers, and there are no facilities at the stargazing spot, as it is a natural viewpoint high in Teide National Park. Please use the toilet before you set off. If you are pregnant or think you may need a stop, the self-drive option gives you more freedom, since you drive your own car and can plan around it.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your own snacks and drinks for the evening. A glass of sparkling wine at sunset is included, but there is no full meal, so if you would like something to eat during the night, just pack it. It is a nice idea for the colder, later part of the evening. Please take any rubbish back down with you, as the national park is a protected area.

High in Teide National Park, at around 2,000 meters, above most of the clouds and away from the coastal lights. The park holds an official Starlight certification for its dark sky. On the VIP tour we pick you up at your hotel. On the self-drive tour the meeting point is normally Mirador de los Poleos, but it can move with the weather and the cloud level, so the guides send the exact spot and time by WhatsApp on the day. A working WhatsApp number is needed on every booking.

Hotel pickup and drop-off covers the south coast between El Médano and Los Gigantes, so Costa Adeje, Playa de las Américas, Los Cristianos, Puerto Colón, Playa Paraiso, Callao Salvaje and Puerto de Santiago are all fine. Pickup is not available in Costa del Silencio, Las Galletas or Palm Mar. Pickup is timed to the sunset, so it changes through the year, currently it is roughly between 18:00 and 19:00, and your exact time is confirmed with your booking. If you stay outside the zone or up north, the self-drive option is the easy answer.

It always starts about 30 minutes before sunset, so the time changes with the season, earlier in winter and later in summer. Your exact start time is confirmed with your booking. Plan for around 3 to 5 hours in total, including the sunset, the short move to the dark stargazing spot, the telescope session and the ride back.

On a clear night the guides show you the Moon in detail, Saturn and other planets, double stars, star clusters, galaxies and nebulae, and you often see the Milky Way with your own eyes. Two professional telescopes travel with the group, and a green laser sky tour connects the dots above you. What you see depends on the season and the sky that night, which is exactly what makes real stargazing special.

Most stargazing tours share one telescope, so you queue for one quick look. This tour runs two telescopes and two guides, and on the VIP tour the group splits into two smaller groups at the stargazing spot. That means more time at the eyepiece, more questions answered and far less standing in line. Club Canary chose this team for exactly that reason: small and personal, not a big coach.

Yes, seven nights a week, Sunday included. That makes it a great choice when other stargazing tours are full or simply do not run that day. Want to compare first?

Yes, families come along all the time. On the VIP tour children 5+ pay the adult price and infants under 5 are free only if you bring your own car seat. On the self-drive tour children aged 4 to 12 pay 25€ and under 4 go free. Keep in mind it gets cold at altitude and the night ends late, so families with small children often prefer the self-drive option, because you can head home whenever you are ready.

What To Bring: A warm jacket and closed shoes are the main thing, it gets cold at altitude even in summer. Bring your ticket, cash for the balance, and any snacks or drinks you want. Keep your phone active so the guides can reach you.

The guides check the conditions before every trip. If clouds or a calima dust episode roll in and the night is not safe or worthwhile, you reschedule or get a full refund of your deposit, your choice. We let you know in good time. No message from us means the tour goes ahead as planned. This is the one time the tour may not run, and you never lose money when we are the ones who cancel.

You reserve with a small deposit, and pay the rest on the night. Free cancellation or reschedule up to 48 hours before the tour, by email to office@clubcanary.com. For groups of more than 4 people the free window is 4 days before. After that deadline, if you cancel late, do not show up, or arrive too late for pickup, the deposit is lost and the full balance is still due, because the guides and transport are reserved and paid for your places either way. The only exception is an official doctor or hospital certificate dated before the tour. Private tours are arranged on request, so if a private date turns out to be unavailable you always get a full refund or a new date.

Because you get real people, not a call centre. Our local team in Costa Adeje answers on WhatsApp every day from 08:00 to 22:00, you pay a small deposit instead of the full amount, and if the sky closes you reschedule or get your deposit back. Booking is fast and easy, you just pick your option on this page. The tour is run by a well-established, highly rated local stargazing team that Club Canary partnered with in September 2026. Club Canary is rated 4.8/5 from 1,375+ verified reviews.
