STARGAZING IN TENERIFE

On Tenerife you can enjoy one of the best night skies in the world for stargazing and with us you will have the opportunity to learn a little more in detail about some of those bright spots that stand out in the firmament. Come with us discover a starry night as you have never seen before

Book here and enjoy the experience of stargazing in Tenerife with the explanations of our Starlight Guides Only with trained and certified personnel will you get to know everything that is not only within the reach of our sight but a little further thanks to the use of powerful and professional telescopes.

The stargazing activity takes place in the heart of the Teide National Park, taking advantage of the singularities of this area of Tenerife, such as being above the sea of clouds and far from the light pollution of the large population centers of the island.

The aim of the stargazing in Tenerife experience is to understand the firmament as our ancestors did, with the naked eye This way we will help you recognize the constellations typical of the season of the year in which you attend the activity from an archaeoastronomical point of view, that is, mixing history with astronomy and archaeology. Hand in hand with the guides, the most significant points will have their own name.

You will also learn to orientate yourself at night just as our ancestors did in the middle of the ocean or the desert.. But there is more to come because we will help you locate the circumpolar constellations, those that revolve around the pole star: Cassiopea, Ursa Major or Ursa Minor before talking about light years, distances and sizes of stars, legends and mythology.

Of course planets and stars will be the main actors because you will learn to differentiate them and you will even see some of their nuances using the telescope (we will see the moon or planets depending on the time of year in which the activity is carried out) In short, the main objective during stargazing in Tenerife will be to plant the seed of curiosity so that when you return home you will continue to observe the firmament and discover much more of the exciting third horizon.

In accordance with the new sanitary measures derived from COVID-19 all thematerial used during stargazing will be subjected to total disinfection before each activity to fully respect the relevant hygiene measures.

The time of the stargazing in Tenerife tour varies according to the time of the year since the sunset is what determines it The exact time will be confirmed the day before the activity.

It is very important to be punctual Once the activity begins at the scheduled time, there will be no guide/monitor waiting in the meeting areas, so the client will not be able to claim a refund.
