You don’t need a car to visit Mt Teide by night. Our Sunset & Stars Tour with astronomical observation includes transport, so that you can spend more time enjoying the tour and the en-route stops in the company of a guide on your way to the Teide Cable Car in order to ascend comfortably to 3,555 m and enjoy both the spectacle of Teide’s shadow cast towards the horizon over the island of Gran Canaria, as well as Spain’s highest sunset from the trail to the Pico Viejo viewpoint, with this volcano’s impressive 800-m-diameter crater at your feet and views over some of the neighbouring islands, such as La Gomera, El Hierro and La Palma, if the weather permits.
You won’t stop sharing on your social networks the photographs of what would probably be one of the best sunsets you have ever seen!
With the assistance of our guides, you will discover all of the volcanic wonders that surround the impressive trail to the Pico Viejo viewpoint. The trail and the surrounding scenery acquire a truly remarkable array of colours at sunset, which are unforgettable to visitors.
A star dinner to savour traditional Canarian cuisine
After all the emotions experienced during the sunset with the Cable Car on the Sunset & Stars tour to Teide and before you immerse yourself in the fascinating world of the Universe, savour a premium dinner full of traditional savours of the Canary Islands, served at the Teleférico del Teide Restaurant at the cable car base station, made with regional products from local farmers who are committed to sustainability.

What more can you ask for of a sunset and stars on Teide?
Look up to the sky and enjoy the stars in one of the best starry skies in the world
When you think it’s not possible to feel more excited, you will be astounded by the spectacle of the sky over Mount Teide which you will behold from the Teide cable car base station’s car park. But you will be prepared! During the astronomical observation included in this Sunset & Stars Tour, our Starlight guides will unravel for you the mysteries of the sky over Mt Teide, one of the three best skies on the planet, along with Chile and Hawaii, where it is possible to see 83 out of the 88 officially recognised constellations.
Observe the spectacle with the unaided eye and using our professional telescopes, learn how to guide yourself thanks to the sky and enjoy discerning the elements of Greek mythology, which are hidden behind the constellations.
Thanks to our professional state-of-the-art telescopes, which you will have at your disposal during the astronomical observation on this Sunset & Stars night tour to Mount Teide you will discover planets, galaxies and clusters as you have surely never seen before, and you will go through the most interesting celestial objects of every night. You can be sure that the professional astronomical instrumentation, along with the quality and transparency of the sky above the summits of Tenerife, will give you a unique experience.
Mount Teide by night: astronomical observation on a full moon night
As you already know, the moon passes through different phases during its 29-day cycle, that is to say, lunation. Therefore, at least once a month, its potent glow will dim the faint light of the distant stars. If you take your Sunset & Stars Tour to Mount Teide on the night of the full moon, you will take advantage of its radiant appearance and be delighted with its splendour: mountain ranges, craters and other lunar wonders.
If you haven’t known that you can find the Montes Teneriffe, Mons Pico and the crater Piazzi Smyth on the Moon, ask our guides where they are located and why they have these names.
