Stargazing activity at night on Teide was amazing. Seeing Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, constelation of 7 sisters and many more first time in my life, really worth every penny. Interesting facts, will deffo look up additional things. Great organisation. Just make sure you dress up warm. It was 8 degrees mid of November ’22.

Truly amazing experience. Everything was explained perfectly and even though there was a last-minute change of plans due to bad weather, the guides made sure to communicate with us so we were able to reschedule. The stargazing was amazing. Miguel is incredibly knowledgable and makes the whole experience fun and understandable even for astronomy beginners. He points out and explains different objects in the sky: from galaxies and star clusters to stars and, above everything, planets. He does this with a strong laser so you can first see it with naked eye but then shows you using a powerful telescope as well. While we got really cold half-way through (make sure to bring warm clothes, folks!) and decided to cut our experience short, we would have loved to stay and listen to Miguel talk about different constellations as well.

Fantastic experience! Luke was our guide for the night and provided us with an eye opening opportunity to look closely at stars, planets and our moon with an amazing telescope. He was both inspiring and knowledgeable. We learned about the constellations and how to navigate them. If you aren't an astronomy enthusiast yet you will be by the end of this tour!
