Review of Teide by Night in Tenerife, with sunset views, dinner, telescopes, practical tips, value advice, and honest drawbacks.
“The experience was very fun! Overall we’d highly recommend it to others. There are a few items worth noting: 1. The tour is very long (8+ hours) and you spend a lot of time on the bus which can be difficult for those with motion sickness 2. The food at the restaurant was sub-par, this was not only our opinion but the opinion from the vast majority of guests. 3. You are climbing up and down over 2000 meters, the drive down was not enjoyable due to the rapid pressure change. Going up was easier given the multiple stops along the way.”

“To start on a positive note - the guide did seem very knowledgeable on the stars and the layout of the skies. Otherwise this was the most touristy experience we’ve had in over 2 weeks on the island and we’ve done most things available. We chose the option with pick up, but we didn’t want the food, so we chose a corresponding option - The pick up moved one hour, which is no problem, the issue was that the pick up took us and another two girls to the restaurant and we had to wait for a big bus to arrive and everyone to eat the advertised 3 course meal.…”
Stargaze from Fuerteventura’s Calderón Hondo volcano with a lively guide, crater views, island folklore, and the Milky Way.
“It was amazing! Luckely, there weren’t many clouds so we could see a lot of stars and even the planets Saturn and Jupiter! Alfredo showed and told us a lot about the stars and how they used the stars in the past to figure out the seasons. We even got the change to get a glimpse of the moon with the telescope. Also the photos and video made with the drone were a nice extra. Big shoot out to Alfredo!! 👌🏽”
