Nocna wycieczka na Teide

There was no comment at all from the guide during the bus ride there or back, no stories, no facts, just some few technical instructions/explanations about the trip itself. The sunset watching spot was quite crowded and all felt a bit rushed. Also no explanation there either. The stargazing activity: we expected more telescopes than 3 which were preoriented to 3 objects. It takes place at the bottom station of the cable car, we thought it would be a designated place. There was a bit delay between arriving in there and the start of the activity, later we heard from the Starlight guide (not from our tour guide) that it was caused by a medical emergency. This is of course understandable but we waited inside for like an hour and no one explained to us why, or asked if everyone is okay (good to check at 2000m+). There are no vending machines there to get any water or snacks, fortunately we took our own but not everyone did. The toilets were open luckily ;). The stargazing and the starlight guide himself were great, what a moment when all lights go off and the stars begin to appear. The guide had a passion for the subject, we could be listening to him easily for 3 more hours (the whole stargazing and telescopes was maybe an hour max). Great experience this. Unique. However the logistics and lack of guidance strongly influenced the general score we are giving. This is a very costly trip and it's currently not arranged properly.

La organización muy bien y la experiencia fenomenal. La puesta de sol fue espectacular y el paisaje y el Teide una maravilla. Los guías muy profesionales y tanto la observación de las estrellas como las explicaciones fueron geniales. 100% recomendable.

Prima goed georganiseerde excursie met enthousiaste gids

Great guides, funny and Great at explaining complicated topics in simple terms

Great experience

Muy bien la excursión y muy buenos los guías con sus explicaciones.

Hi! I'll try to keep it as short as possible :) don't take my review too harshly, because first of all I'd like to point out I found it lovely, because as an amateur star gazer seeing the milky way in real life was one of my micro dreams coming true. But as said prior, to keep it short, here are some pointers I'd like to give: -The travel on its own was fine. But I'd really appreciate it if the guid would kinda bring us more into the experience before we really step into it. Kinda setting the mood haha. -Watching the sunset was amazing, I can't really say anything negative about it ;) -Now the main experience, watching the stars. I get the one hour wait, because I guess setup and sufficient darkening outside is a must- BUT just like the first journey, I wish there was more engagement. Some dry theory maybe, some funfacts, raw data. And maybe this is just a personal thing, but I found the activity to be slightly too short. I enjoyed seeing M57, M31 and Saturn. Pretty sure there was a fourth thing too, but my memory betrays me haha. All of those were amazing, but giving that this was a once in a life opportunity to see through such a telescope I can't help but feel slightly underwhelmed. Just like with the constellations and raw star gazing, I hoped for a bit more. As much as finding cassiopeia, the king constellation, vega and the taurus constellation, I just hoped it to be a tad bit longer. As said, I get that there is a time limitation. But I do feel like with the given time (time of wait for example) there could be done more. All in all, I can't say that I'm dissatisfied, because you guys enabled a dream come true for me :) Best regards, ***

Visita obligada si estarás en Tenerife

Our guide Lucas was extraordinary from the moment of pick up right until the end. His commentary was humorous and informative, so interesting. I learned a lot about the Island as well as the stars etc. it was a wonderful night

Es una experiencia inolvidable que merece totalmente la pena. Grandes profesionales pero en especial nuestro guía Abel. Muy gracioso e inteligente.

Amazing tour and activities, highly recommend. Our guide Lucas was very professional and provided very detailed and interesting information. The tour was very well organised. We are doing 2nd time this tour and would like to return.

I really didn’t expect this quality. This was the most beautiful night sky I’ve ever seen. Also hats off to Luke, the guy is the real astro-physicist that can explain things in very funny and interesting way. 10/10

Me encanto todo, pero sobre todo dar las gracias a Lucas

Unser Guide war einfach nur perfekt. vielles wusste ich schon und er hat mich mit meinem Wissen glänzen lassen udn er hat mir soooooooooooo viel neues beigebracht. Ich werde des Ausflug beim nächsten Teneriffabesuch wieder buchen, um das neue Wissen aufzufrischen und zu festigen.

Well organized and executed trip. Spectacular sunset and magnificent starry sky, which was viewed under the guidance of professional guides. Good telescopes, which the guides aimed at a total of six targets and also told about the planets and constellations in the starry sky. I recommend this tour operator.

I have already written at length.

Piacevole passeggiata al tramonto, poi simpatico pic nic con panino, acqua e un ottimo muffin. Per finire una serata molto piacevole in cui abbiamo imparato tanto sulle stelle e sul moto dei corpi celesti. E abbiamo anche visto varie stelle cadenti!

Fanatastic night seeing the stars. Loved the explanations and guide was very knowledgeable. Never seen so many stars and planets. Picnic was satisfactory for the trip

Bello

We enjoyed very much the entire experience!

¡Actividad totalmente recomendable! Tanto los comentarios del guía durante el ascenso al Teide como el conocimiento y disposición de los guías durante la observación espacial.

Fantastico!!!! Unica avvertenza, coprirsi bene

Si mi opinión puede ayudar a otros clientes, solo decir que no lo piensen y que si buscan algo diferente, un plan distinto a lo que se ofrece tan turístico esta es la opción adecuada. El atardecer precioso y la observación más aún si cabe. Abel es un gran guía y sus explicaciones muy interesantes. Volveremos a repetir

I’d highly recommend going with this company. They are very friendly and professional and clearly passionate about the national park.

Fue genial

Amazing experience!

Excursión imprescindible con el.personal perfecto.

Atardecer en las montañas, espectacular, al igual que la noche estrellada.

On collection from hotel agent was very helpful, The sunset part of the tour was brilliant allowing time to wander and view sunset . The picnic was nice a bagette muffin and water, unfortunately for those that didn't have picnic the machine were not working and €*** for a coffee from machine was steap but this then broke . The stars were amazing and the were brilliant to see , there were 3 telescope unfortunately when I asked for help to see was told it couldn't be adjusted as to many in the group. Which was disappointing, the astrologer wss also quite rude to us,shouting like we were school children. Having said that we loved the tour and overall were happy . We left resort at 5.50pm and returned 12.30am

Very interesting

Merece la pena mirar el espacio desde tan cerca

Recomendable 100*100 Vale la pena el tiempo invertido.

We really enjoyed the excursion with my daughter. The driving of our driver Victor was very careful. Even though the road was full of serpentines and constant turns, we didn’t feel sick at all. His driving style was excellent. The excursion itself was very interesting. We loved our guide, who gave us amazing explanations in English, showed us everything, and had a fantastic sense of humor. The care for the tourists was on the highest level. Definitely 10 out of 10. And of course, the highlight of the trip was the stargazing experience. You absolutely have to see the night sky in Tenerife at least once in your life — it’s unforgettable. Looking at the Moon through a telescope, so close as if it were an apple in your hand with every crater visible, was indescribable. Seeing Saturn with its rings through the telescope — just wow! I am writing this review and still get goosebumps. This beauty is something everyone should witness at least once in a lifetime.

Experiencia totalmente recomendable. Los guías excelentes y sus explicaciones muy interesantes.

Nice trip in general

The excursion was well organised and so far I know everything went smoothly and according to the previously communicated plan, yet I would give three 3 stars because I think the value/price ratio is not the best. One could do the same program by own means and overall get almost the same value - buy some snacks for dinner, driving to Teide, enjoying the sunset, stay there a bit longer and enjoy the starry sky, then drive back. The really added value from this excursion seems to me to be the 3 provided long-range telescopes and the guide with an academic background in astrophysics, yet this part could have been way more substantial, first of all on its duration and also on the celestial bodies they suggest to observe. I guess the option to divide the "astronomy part" of the trip in two groups - one in spanish and the other in English - alternating periods of observation through telescope and periods without observation through telescope (identification of constellations) comes in my opinion at the great cost of halving the time of observation on the telescopes which, again, was actually the biggest added value of the trip.

Falta que el guia de traslado hasta el Teide haga que el trayecto de mas de una hora de ida sea mas ameno. Podria explicar algo de los bosques, del mar de nubes, de los incendios, de los pinos canarios...... Tuvimos que esperar mucho rato en el Parador, se podia haber visitado los Roques en esos 15-20 minutos. El pícnic podia haber sido mejor La observación de estrellas fue muy agradable, muy interesante, una experiencia inolvidable. Merito de ello fue del guia Starlight. Eramos unos abuelos con nuestra nieta de 8 años y disfrutamos los 3. Ella incluso pudo participar con las preguntas y comentarios del guia. Una experiencia muy recomendable

Mooie tocht naar boven, zonsondergang zeer de moeite waard. Leuke uitleg over de sterren en het heelal.

Wenn man nur die Sterne schauen möchte, ist die Tour zu empfehlen. Der Aussichtspunkt war gut gewählt.

A fantastic experience. Our guide, Lucas, was excellent. He kept us both informed and entertained on the bus ride up to Teide, explaining our itinerary clearly and telling us about the natural environment we were entertaining, with just the right amount of humor. His explanations of the night sky were also clear and easy to follow, and entertaining too. Through the telescopes we got to see Saturn, Jupiter (with two moons either side) and a brilliant view of that night’s full moon. Given the chance, we’ll be back to do it again on a darker night without the full moon, so we can see more stars. The closest I could come to a complaint is that I would have happily paid more for a more substantial meal. The picnic was perfectly appropriate and matched the description, but a hot meal or drink option would have been great. Finally, the website information about temperature is spot on. Without this, one could easily end up being extremely uncomfortable - the temperature difference from the coast of Tenerife is stunning. Thanks to the website info, we were well prepared!

We are very satisfied with the tour. The guide was very helpful and informative. Thank you. It would be great if the quality of the picnic food is improved. Also it was freezing on the bus especially on our way back to the town. We needed warm seated service on the bus after the sightseeing in the very cold place.
