Excellent tour, but a long day.
We took the sunset and stargazing tour with Jesper on 5th October. Jesper is an excellent tour guide and we would award him 5 stars for his knowledge and delivery whilst on the tour. He was accompanied by an excellent driver and the coach was very clean and air conditioned. We very much enjoyed our afternoon and evening. The only downside was the length of time on the bus prior to the start of the tour. We were picked up at 2:30pm, but didn’t reach our first stop until 4:15pm, approximately 20 mins after the last pick up. However, on the return journey the drop off was done in reverse which meant the few of us that were the first pick ups were dropped off first, for us it meant we arrived back at our hotel at 11:45pm. The tables in the restaurant where we ate our evening meal were set out very nicely which was a pleasant surprise. All in all we very much enjoyed the tour but found it a tiring day.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your Teide by Night experience. We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience with Jesper and that you appreciated his knowledge and professionalism, as well as the excellent service from our driver and the cleanliness and comfort of the coach. We’ll be very happy to pass your kind words on to the team. We’re also pleased that you enjoyed the restaurant setting and the evening meal. We understand that a long day can feel tiring, but happy to read that you enjoyed the excursion. Thank you again for choosing us and for your kind recommendation. We’re very glad that, overall, you enjoyed the tour and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future.

Fantastic tour
From start to finish this was a fantastic trip, Daphne was excellent, keeping us well informed and looked after us all. From getting picked up on time, greeting us, The bus, was first class, I have been coming to Tenerife for over 30years, I would say it is the best bus I have ever travelled in, the driver takes pride in it and himself, he was excellent. The meal was delicious, every course was perfect, clean plates all round. Star gazing was fantastic, seeing Saturn was the absolute highlight. This tour is worth every penny. Excellent.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour from start to finish. It’s fantastic to know that Dafne took such good care of you and kept you informed throughout the day. We’ll be sure to share your lovely comments with her and with our driver, who will be very proud to hear that you considered the coach the best you’ve travelled in during your many years visiting Tenerife. We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed the meal and that every course was a success! And, of course, we couldn’t be happier that the stargazing was such a highlight for you, seeing Saturn through the telescope is certainly a very special moment. Thank you for your kind words and for recommending our Teide by Night. It was a pleasure having you with us.

Best Trip Ever!
Daphne is so smart, cool and funny. Our bus driver was very professional and the ride was nice and smooth, we had many view point stops to the north to witness some incredible sights! We stopped off at a very nice cafe and tried some of the local taste in coffee, went to see the sunset by Teide we are very high up the sky! We went to go and see a big rocky hand reach out from the ground and saw a huge crater. It was incredible! Never worry about toilet breaks they are often and you provided with fantastic food! You get given blankets and tea if you are too cold. We went star gazing and learned so much about the night sky and got to see Saturn and the moon through professional telescopes. We were given a very pretty star chart so we can identify the sky and time of the year. Thanks Daphne! We’re going to come back next time!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed every part of the experience, from the incredible viewpoints and local flavours to the sunset and, of course, the magical stargazing. We’re especially happy that Dafne made the experience so enjoyable and that you loved seeing Saturn and the Moon through the telescopes. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team. Thank you for joining us and looking forward meeting you again on our Teide by night in a future.

Why this scores 88
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $102 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Tenerife is not rushed.
Is Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,632 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience?
+
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 Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience?
+
Around 571 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 Tenerife 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 Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience 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 Tenerife 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 Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. 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 Tenerife?
+
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 Tenerife?
+
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 Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience?
+
Included: Pickup and drop-off near your hotel; Professional guide; Bottled water; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: souvenirs; Pickup in non specified areas; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Tenerife. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, French and Dutch. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Is Teide by Night: Sunset and Stargazing with Telescopes Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

+
