An excellent, unique, inspiring experience - The team met us at the designated meeting point with drinks to watch the sunset. The team were all so positive and friendly with everyone. As we arrived at the stargazing point, the team kept everyone informed and were happy to answer questions at every step of the way. They set up the telescopes / cameras for people to see different planets / stars / galaxies and could name each and every one and give you information about these. The sky up there is just INCREDIBLE - so much clarity (my amateur photos do not do it justice at all!)! Once we returned back to Costa Adeje, I looked up and realised how little I could now see in comparison. I learned so much about the constellations - I want to see what I can spot once I get home! This is a unique experience in a unique location for anyone who has access to a car - I would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Constant as the Northern Star - Absolutely brilliant, only slightly marred by a German guest with no sense of humour about a very benign joke made about Venus' retrograde rotation of all things! Phil, Steve and Pete were absolutely fantastic. Free with the Cava, good humoured, very knowledgeable and great telescopes.

starry starry night (sorry I'm sure that title's been used many times) - Excellent . To be honest I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. We had booked a few days earlier, but weather wasn't good; we were contacted and told it was cancelled. So we managed to rebook for Sunday 26th; beautiful clear skies so a good day to look up. Gorgeous sunset (with sparkling white) then a 7km drive to small car park, where Phil & Hamer got out their portable telescopes & pointed them in turn at Venus Mars Jupiter & Saturn - 4 planets currently visible, as well as Sirius, Canopus (which we can't see at home) the Orion Nebula, and maybe another couple of objects. The moon didn't rise for a while so we stars were especially lovely. Everyone was able to spend a few minutes observing them. I'd love one of those telescopes! Just programme them & they find the object you want through GPS or some technology. Teide is one of the best places on earth to view the stars, it was dark and clear that evening anyway. Phil and Hamer's enthusiasm was contagious too. I learnt that in summertime when the earth is facing the other way (at night) we see many more stars (as we look towards the centre of our galaxy) and the milky way is even more spectacular. Back home now with street lights and (usually) clouds!

Fantastic, well organised stargazing trip. - Great experience, amazing team. Mike and Jamie have the knowledge and passion to create a fantastic trip. We met up with them and watched a glorious sunset with glasses of fizz. Then the big telescopes were brought out. They explained the constellations, pointing them out with lasers, and bringing to life ancient Greek mythology. We saw some amazing objects, including Saturn, swirling galaxies, and ring nebuli. We liked that the groups are smaller than other stargazing companies. This was particularly good, not only on the night, but when they needed to reschedule our trip due to cloudy skies. This meant we went three nights later and were able to enjoy the clear night sky. Our top tip would be to make sure you bring warm clothes! It gets very cold indeed up there. As a family group of seven, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would highly recommend booking through Tenerife Stargazing.

Amazing sunset and stars you'll see - The meeting spot was kind of crowded cuz there are several tours same place. However, that meet at the same place. It is a great spot because of sunset is amazing as it dips below the clouds. The next spot where we go to drive for about 5 minutes to where we'll watch the stars. We had a full moon on our night which was great but also not great because it diminished the ability to see some stars in the night but watching the moon come up over the mountain. Was amazing to see. the information given by the team was amazing, very passionate and gave lots of great information, especially for those who don't stargaze on a normal basis.
