It was a fantastic tour, and we were glad to not have to drive up the steep mountain passes in our hired car, the bus driver handled this so well We started with the Roque de los Muchachos víewpoint, then onto a different viewpoint outside the observatory (it closes at 7pm) to view the sunset with wine. The tour guide was very knowledgable about the observatory and conveyed this in 3 languages! Our final stop was the star gazing, we were divided up into 3 groups, language dependent. Each group had a guide to explain the galaxy in La Palma and show a few stars / planets with their powerful telescopes. Incredible! There afterwards we set off back to our meeting points, so does make for a long trip but worth it, as you not going to be in one of the 3 top countries for stargazing very often! A suggestion would be to have a bus with a toilet as there are no open toilet facilities in the mountain area we went to. Muchas gracias, Nos encantó

At another vantage point, depending on the weather, observe the stars through our quality telescope viewing in the dark of night. With the help of your guide, discover countless stars as well as galaxies, planets, nebulae, and star clusters.
