About this tour
You'll drive yourself to a restaurant perched at 2,130 metres in Teide National Park, arriving at dusk for a three-course Canarian dinner with a welcome drink. Once the light fades, Starlight-certified guides unlock the night sky using telescopes and laser pointers, walking you through constellations and galaxies while mythology and science interweave. The entire experience—from cava-tinged sunset above the cloud layer to deep-sky exploration—takes three-and-a-half hours.

What to expect
You'll make your own way to Restaurante 7 Cañadas by 6:45 pm, where the guides and other participants gather. Dinner unfolds over the next hour—locally-sourced Canarian dishes served at altitude as the light softens. After plates are cleared, you'll step into the cooling air to watch the sun sink behind Mount Teide, cava glass in hand, while clouds roll below you. As darkness settles, the guides position the telescopes and begin pointing out stars, planets, and star clusters, using laser pointers to trace their paths across the sky. Each object comes with scientific detail or mythological context, depending on your interest.
Good to know
You must arrange your own transport to and from the restaurant; there is no shuttle service. Bring a torch or phone with a flashlight to navigate the restaurant grounds safely. Dress in layers—at 2,130 metres, temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Families with prams are welcome; the restaurant is accessible for strollers.
