Frequently Asked Questions
About the tour
What will we see?
Depending on the time of year, we can see 83 of the 88 constellations in the sky.
We'll take a tour of the sky with a laser pointer, starting with Orion, the Great Bear and the Little Bear, among others, and moving on to the zodiac constellations visible above the horizon.
We'll pick out the most significant stars, such as the Pole Star and Sirius. And we'll look at their clusters and nebulae through the telescope.
Depending on the season, we can see Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and its moons, and Venus and Mars through the telescope.
As dusk falls on Teide, one of the world's three great wonders unfolds before us: the vastness of the Universe.
Do we have to walk?
No, the activity doesn't involve walking and there is parking at the same viewpoint where the Astronomy tour takes place.
Small groups
The activity runs in small groups, with more time at the telescope. Join a group of 12 people (maximum 16), 18 people (maximum 22) or 28 people (maximum 32).
How is it paid?
Payment is 100% secure and is made by credit card.
How will be the weather like?
We'll be above the sea of clouds, at around 2,000 metres. Even if the sky looks overcast at sea level, Teide enjoys 300 clear nights a year and ideal conditions, in the third best place in the world for stargazing.
What should I wear?
It gets quite cold on Teide at night. So it's best to wrap up warm and enjoy the experience in comfort.
Bring a jacket or coat, and please wear long trousers and closed, comfortable footwear such as trainers or boots. Shorts and sandals are not allowed.
Can I change the date?
You can change the date of your Tour as long as there is at least 72 Hours notice of the activity date.
Can I bring my pet?
It is not allowed to bring pets to the Tours because we cannot keep them in optimal conditions, we apologize for the inconvenience.
Are the photos with the Milky Way included?
Of course! We take complimentary photos of the whole group with the Milky Way, as long as technical and weather conditions allow and everyone in the group wants to take part.
If you'd like something more special, we recommend adding the personalised photo pack to your booking!
Can I ask questions?
Of course! Participate in an interactive session where you can ask questions and learn more about the secrets of Teide's night sky.

With Teide Stars, your souvenir photos are on another level
What makes us different
No noise, no crowds. Just calm, care and plenty of time for our guests.
How the sky looks with Teide Stars
We take the sky very seriously. That's why we spend almost an hour setting up our telescopes and another taking them down (and we can tell you other tours don't): heavy mounts, high-end optics and kit built to stand up to the Teide wind and keep the image steady, sharp and in colour. Only with that kind of work can we show you the sky's real depth, with no flickering and a quality that goes far beyond a simple look through a telescope.
Astronomers by vocation
-
We're not just guides... we're the ones who speak with the Universe.
Let's be honest. There are plenty of guides who point out the stars with a green laser. But what we do is another league.

Far more than just Starlight guides
We work side by side with the best astronomers on Mount Teide. We're talking about leading cosmologists and astrophysicists, people with more than 50 years spent unravelling the secrets of the cosmos, looking where no one else knows to look and working with the most powerful telescopes on the planet.
