Description
The Astronomic Tour of Teide is our 2-in-1 Teide astronomical tour, which combines a Teide Observatory visit with a stargazing experience. During this activity, which lasts 8 hours, our Starlight guide accompanies you at all times, so that you can enjoy Mt Teide by night.
But you’ll also be accompanied by nocturnal creatures. As the sun goes down, a change comes over the National Park. Creatures that are active during the daytime hide away, and the nocturnal creatures emerge from their lairs.
Your Astronomic Tour of Teide includes a visit of the Teide Observatory—in the afternoon and with a guide—and once it's night time, a stargazing experience using long range telescopes at 2,356 m at the Teide Cable Car base station, under the clear and pure sky of the Teide National Park, the most visited national park in Europe.
Thanks to the guides on your Astronomic Tour of Teide, you can feel like a scientist for a day as during the afternoon Tenerife Observatory visit.
It also includes a stop for a meal. You choose whether you prefer to bring your own food or buy our optional picnic along with your ‘Astronomic Tour including a visit of Teide Observatory’.
After the Tenerife Observatory tour, what’s better than to enjoy the colours of the National Park when it’s getting dark, before beginning the astronomical observation, included in your stargazing night on Mount Teide.
It doesn’t matter if you have already been to Teide during the day because the moment the National Park is bathed in the lovely colours of the twilight, you will feel as though you have never been in this beautiful location.
