    Sunset and Stargazing

    We had an amazing evening under the stars. Charles picked us up from our accommodation he was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable about the island. The man that gave the tour of the stars was very knowledgeable and the information was delivered in a very relatable way which made the experience even more enjoyable. The sunset stop was spectacular and we were treated to the best sunset we have ever seen. A truly memorable evening. I would highly recommend this tour.

    An awesome experience!

    We had an amazing night to remember with Stargazing Gran Canaria. I had wanted to do some kind of excursion that would take us out of the busy resort and into the spectacular mountains of the island on this holiday. We were picked up on time around 6 pm and headed up into the mountains as the sun began to set. This gave us a unique view of the island and scenery without the usual glare of the sun and it was really stunning to see the views at this time of day. We parked up to watch the sunset from a vantage point high up in the mountains and had a glass of Cava (well I think I had three as there was some going spare….). Then we travelled to the highest point on the island (which was very cold and misty). I knew we were not going to be doing any star gazing there and I was correct! We then moved on to a spot with beautiful clear skies full of stars. Our home galaxy, The Milky Way, could be clearly seen and it was quite a stunning sight. Apparently only 10% of the worlds population have ever seen it with their own eyes. Then the brilliant guides set up several telescopes to let us all see many amazing celestial delights. We saw The Ring Nebula, globular clusters, super red giants, binary stars and my personal favourite the beautiful planet Saturn. You could clearly see the planets famous rings and also several of its own moons. The trip was really great value for money we arrived back at our hotel drop off point around 10.30 pm. We'll definitely go on one of these trips again and hopefully catch some other planets. The guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable and clearly enjoy their work. We went up into the mountains in a people carrier with two other couples – so not a big group and we met up with another group of the same size, so there was plenty of time for everyone to use the telescopes on the chosen targets. If you go - do heed the warnings about dressing suitabley - it really is very cold up there so no shorts!

    A brilliant trip,...

    A brilliant trip, informative, insightful. Our driver and astronomical guides both really new their stuff, not just about stargazing, but the island generally. seeing Saturn's rings was fabulous highlight

    Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.

    How much does Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Gran Canaria is not rushed.

    Is Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Gran Canaria can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Gran Canaria within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Gran Canaria?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Gran Canaria?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Gran Canaria?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive?

    +

    Included: Laser-guided constellation tour; Live deep-sky images shown on-site; Hotel pickup and drop-off from the south of the island (If you select the PICK UP Option); Use of complimentary blankets; and Downloadable photo of you under the stars using Astrophotography techniques. Not included: Meals; Transport from the North of the island; Snacks; and No transport provided if you select the SELF DRIVE option. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive if the weather is bad?

    +
