Small group, easy, cheaper, no stress, just freedom and stars. Book it, enjoy it, thank us later 😉
Budget Teide Stargazing Tour – No Pick-Up Needed

Why This Self Drive Teide Stargazing is a No-Brainer 🚗✨
Let’s keep it real: if you’ve got your own car, it makes no sense to book those big hotel stargazing tours. They’ll charge you more, make you sit in a crowded bus, and won’t tell you that this self-drive stargazing trip even exists. With Club Canary, you save money, keep your freedom, and still enjoy one of the top-rated stargazing experiences on the island.
It’s the perfect middle option, not the expensive private tours, not the crowded mass tours. Just a small group, great telescopes, tasty tapas, and pure night-sky magic.
How It Works
🔑 Easy Booking: Pay just 20€ now to reserve, and the rest (30€) directly to the guide.
🍷 Tapas & Drinks: At the meeting spot in Chío you’ll enjoy snacks, wine, cava, beer, and soft drinks before we roll out.
🔭 Top Telescopes: See planets, constellations, and galaxies like never before.
🤩 Small Groups Only: Max 8 people in the van + max 8 self-arrivals = always cozy and exclusive.
🗣️ English Guide: The whole tour is done only in English, clear, simple, and fun to follow. (Unlike many other tours that constantly switch between different languages.)
Where We Meet & Why
We meet at Chío Recreational Area (here’s the Google Maps link). Why there? Because up in the Teide National park there’s almost no mobile service, so we can’t wait around or risk losing people. At Chío, everyone checks in, enjoys a picnic (YES, included in the price!), and chills while getting to know the guide and the rest of the group. Many people actually prefer this, it’s relaxed, social, and tasty, instead of sitting for ages in a restaurant with so-so food like on the big bus tours. After that, you just follow the guide to the stargazing spot. Easy, simple, stress-free.
Check the chill vibes yourself 👇
What to Expect 🌌
- See the Milky Way shining bright above Teide.
- A fun and easy-to-understand sky tour with lasers.
- 1.5 to 2 hours of pure stargazing magic.
- Drive back whenever you feel like it (total freedom).
- Pro tip: bring an extra sweater, nights on Teide can get chilly!
