In short: An indescribably beautiful experience with a competent guide, which is worth every cent. 10/10! The tour begins with a short and easy hike to a flat part of the mountain. On the way, Pablo explains a bit about the island, the surroundings and how it was formed. A nice stopover is the "rock window" from where you can see the Roque Nublo. Once at the top, the evening starts with a picnic. We ate well beforehand, as the vegan option is usually meager. But not with Pablo: there were vegan empanadas, quesadillas and other snacks, which we unfortunately couldn't eat. It's just great that even this was taken care of so carefully! I don't want to spoil too much of the tour, but as soon as the sun goes down, the starry sky sparkles. Pablo knows a lot about the starry sky and uses a laser pointer to explain the signs of the zodiac in a way that even laypeople can understand. DO NOT TAKE ROUTE 605!

We were absolutely thrilled with the nighttime astronomy hike. It was intended as a birthday gift for my dad and we all loved it. It exceeded our expectations and we were just blown away. From blankets, sleeping pads, warm drinks, fantastic snacks, great explanations, beautiful views, a dreamy sunset, and a clear, wonderful view of the starry sky that would never have been possible in our hometown, everything was included. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we'll always carry in our hearts. Pablo was incredibly patient, accommodating, attentive, and brought such enthusiasm that you couldn't help but listen intently! If we ever travel to Gran Canaria again, more tours with the best guide, Pablo, will definitely be a part of our holiday! It's a heartfelt recommendation!

Great hike! Interesting. Exotic. The landscapes are breathtaking. We were able to see the sunset. The stars. Once at the top, we really have time to enjoy nature. The silence. The beauty of the panoramas that are offered to us. Pablo is very kind and makes the walk very accessible and pleasant. He has provided blankets, tortillas, empanadas, a little chocolate. The must-have is the little hot tea when the air cools down, installed under his blanket. Just incredible. Pablo even offers to take photos under the starry sky with his equipment. Very nice evening! The return, even in the middle of the night was great! I totally recommend it! What a pleasure to discover the other activities they offer.

Pablo was a great guide, he always spread good cheer and impressed us with his white views of the island and the stars. I can recommend this tour to anyone. The sunset behind the Roque Nublo was amazing. Thanks Pablo!
