Christine_G, Jul 2025
Very informative and beautiful. I was hoping to see a planet or two but my timing wasn’t right for that. The drive up to the meeting point was breathtaking. It was cold during the presentation so make sure you take a warm jacket not just a sweatshirt. Would recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hello! Thank you for this wonderful review. It's great to read that you recommend us and that you loved the activity and the ride to the meeting point. We hope you will visit us again, maybe when the planets are out! Thank you very much, best regards.

Super fun for first timers

Tour of the stars from an otherworldly place

Joel_N, May 2022
This is a really fun and easy way to experience a completely different side of Tenerife. Getting to the location is easy and the astronomers were very knowledgeable.

Dear Joel, Thank you very much for your review and thanks for trusting us!. We wish you all the best. Hope to see you again!.

Learn about the night sky from one of the best observation spots in the world

Iasmina_N, Nov 2021
I really enjoyed this experience, the only thing i would have done differently is to dress warmer. Overall I recommend this workshop to anyone curious about the night sky, right under the tip of the volcano the sky gets very clear and you can see the Milky Way with bare eyes. It’s extremely beautiful. If you are an amateur astronomer and have some knowledge of the night sky, maybe this tour will be too basic, but still worth it because of the unique observation spot

Magical

Sera_S, Feb 2020
A truly amazing experience that left us and both of our teenage boys awed and inspired to learn more (which is extraordinary in itself)!!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Dear Sera_S, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad that you and your family have learned in this activity, and above all that your children want to learn more about astronomy. King regards

Excelente experiência

JosDiogo_G, Aug 2024
Foi uma experiência incrível! Tanto eu como a minha namorada gostamos imenso! Recomendo bastante 😁🙌

À faire absolument si vous êtes au Teide !

Julia_D, Aug 2024
Superbe expérience ! C’était juste incroyable ! Miguel nous a très bien accueilli et expliqué. Les explications sont en anglais (possibilité en espagnol) Avec un laser il nous a nommé les étoiles, la voie lactée, les signes astrologiques, les autres éléments. Puis, avec un télescope professionnel nous avons pu observer des nebuleuses. Je recommande cette expérience !

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Estimada Julia. ¡Qué maravilla saber que disfrutaste tanto de la experiencia! Desde la bienvenida de Miguel hasta la observación de las nebulosas, nos alegra que todo haya sido de tu agrado. ¡Esperamos que esta noche bajo las estrellas sea un recuerdo inolvidable! ¡Recibe un cordial saludo!

Muy recomendable. Vimos a través del telescopio, además de estrellas, a Júpiter y Saturno a la perfección. Explicaciones muy interesantes. El lugar es expectacular al atardecer y por la noche. Pero abrigaros!
