Mount Teide Astronomy Tour

Enjoy this perfect tour for astronomy lovers in Tenerife. The Astronomic Tour is our most perfect trip through Teide for astronomy lovers, with transport also offered from various points on the island of Tenerife. Tenerife is so much more than just sun and beaches. This friendly island is also famous for science and its volcanoes. The Canary Islands are one of the three best spots on Earth to observe the sky. The other two spots, just for curiosity's sake, are Chile and Hawaii. This is why we are fortunate to have the most important solar observatory here in Tenerife. With the Astronomic Tour guides, on the afternoon guided tour to Teide Observatory, you will feel like a scientist for a day as: - You will be introduced to the importance of the sky in the Canary Islands, the Teide Observatory telescopes and the different projects of the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics, also known as IAC. - You will participate in the most interesting astrophysics workshop, held in the Teide Observatory visitors center, shared with you by our Starlight guides, where we shall explain what astrophysics is and how the astrophysicists in this center conduct their research. - You will enjoy the sun like never before whilst observing sunspots and solar flares through two solar telescopes that we will make available to you. - You will visit the inside of a nocturnal telescope and won't leave until you know how it functions and learns about its exciting history. A sunset on Mt. Teide with the Astronomic Tour is an experience you will remember for the rest of your life. After the guided visit in the afternoon of the world's largest solar observatory, included in your Astronomic Tour, whats better than to enjoy one of the most breathtaking sunsets you can imagine, the spectacular sunset in the National Park, before beginning the stargazing experience, also included in your astronomical night on Mount Teide. It doesn't matter if you have already been to Teide during the day because the moment the National Park is bathed in the lovely colours of the twilight, you will feel as though you have never been in this beautiful location. You will discover planets, galaxies and clusters like you never would have imagined, thanks to our professional, last generation long-range telescopes, which you will have at your disposal to go through the most interesting celestial objects of every night, visible from Mount Teide. In addition, the Astronomic Tour guides will provide you with interesting information about the objects you observe through the telescope. Our professional astronomic instrumentation, together with the transparency and quality of the skies over the peaks of Tenerife, will without a doubt let you enjoy this unique experience. If you book our Astronomic Tour and enjoy it on the night of the full moon in Teide, you will take advantage of its radiant appearance and be delighted with its splendour: craters, mountain ranges and other lunar wonders.
