Plan Your Visit to Mount Teide Stargazing

Sessions run in the evening after sunset, with guides conducting tours in English or Spanish depending on your chosen time slot. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled session starts. The stargazing experience lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to explore different areas of the night sky.

Transport to the meeting point is not included, so arrange your own travel to Mount Teide National Park.
