Explora el Cosmos: Tour Astronómico Exclusivo Teide Tenerife

Maravillosa experiencia Magnificos profesionales. Ha sido una experiencia inolvidable para mi y mi familia. Gracias

Una excursión para tenerla muy en cuenta, yo diría imprescindible. Tuvimos de guia a Lucas ( un joven estudiante-trabajador del mismo laboratorio) que nos hizo pasar una noche espectacular. Recorrimos el laboratorio, dando explicación de cada uno de los telescopios y su cometido. Pudimos ver el sol por unos telescopios pequeños y disfrutar de una bellísima puesta de sol. Desde allí nos dirigimos a los pies del pico del Teide ( donde se coge el teleférico) cenamos y a continuación salimos al exterior a ver con otros telescopios la Luna ( con sus cráteres) precioso !! , estrellas binarias etc. Siguiendo con un láser nos fue mostrando las constelaciones , estrellas y planetas. Tuvimos mucha suerte porque cuando comenzamos la excursión había muchas nubes y no pensábamos que se nos fuera a quedar un tarde-noche tan bonita. Gracias Lucas.

Nos encanto la excursión, totalmente recomendable. Destacar que Natasha es una crack! Muchas gracias por la experiencia.

Todo perfecto, la guía fue genial y el recorrido increíble. Muy bien la organización y el contacto, repetiría seguramente

Si te gusta la astronomía. Realmente recomiendo esta gira. Hermosa vista del atardecer. y visita dentro del telescopio. La guía del astrónomo fue increíble.

Los guías tenían un buen inglés hablado, y eran astrónomos reales. Nos mostraron los numerosos observatorios en un lado de la montaña y nos hablaron de los proyectos internacionales. Fascinante. Hermosa puesta de sol sobre las nubes. Luego se lleva a la base del teleférico del centro de visitantes. Se instalaron telescopios reflectores de 30 cm para su visualización. Me sorprendió el gran tamaño del grupo, no como se anunciaba. Esto significó menos posibilidades de ver. Todavía me encantó, pero debes estar preparado para un largo viaje y un aburrido tiempo de espera en el medio.

It was a very good tour overall. We enjoyed the observatory and telescope visits (‘Carlos Sanchez’ observatory and views of sun through the Lunt Solar Scope 🔭). The Astrophysics workshop was okay. However, the speaker was asking the audience questions in español (- no ingles!). In future, please ask audience questions in English as well, so that we can all be fully engaged in the workshop. Gr8 shout out to Lucas Peirera, our main guide, who was very engaging with the telescopes/observatory tour and observing later in evening (- we saw some amazing views of the night sky!).

The visit to the observatory included lots of interesting information and was a good setup for the second part of the tour. The scenery and views from the top of the volcano are beautiful, particularly the sunset which was spectacular. The tour of the cosmos was amazing, I learned a lot and could have stayed there all night Our guide Lucas was great - knowledgeable, funny, and engaging Thank you for a great evening!

We were picked up from our hotel in Los Cristianos exactly on time at 4pm. Had a number of other pick ups before setting off for Teide which is a long drive but interesting to see how the landscape changes as you drive up the mountain. There was a short stop at the Roques de Garcia viewpoint which was a bonus, and good toilets here as well, then on to the Observatory where we arrived about 6.45pm. We had the opportunity to look at the sun through a special telescope set up outside, followed by a tour of the Observatory with our guide who was exceptionally knowledgeable. He explained all about the research going on and the different countries involved. It's amazing how many projects there are and the guide took us inside one of the domes to see the mechanics close up. The Observatory is situated 2400m up so the sunset was spectacular. There was some cloud around which produced amazing colours. Once it started getting dark we were taken to the base station of the cable car where we had about half an hour to eat and use the facilities. We had pre-purchased the "picnic" which consisted of a ham & cheese baguette, a muffin and a small bottle of water. It was actually very good. If you don't go for the picnic option you really need to bring your own food as nothing was open by that time although there are a couple of vending machines. The final part of the tour was the night sky viewing using 3 telescopes set up in the car park. By then it was about 10pm and we had about an hour there. Luckily the cloud had cleared away and we had an unobstructed view. As well as looking through the telescopes the guide was explaining about the constellations and the stars and planets that were visible. You do have to stand around for the whole time and some of the group were tiring by this point. It was also getting cold. Viewing through the telescopes was a bit underwhelming as they are not hugely powerful and we didn't see any galaxies or planets in detail...but wow there were so many stars! Finally we had the long drive back and we were not back at our hotel until just before 1am, so it was nearly 9 hours out! The tour was very professionally run and quite scientific with a lot of factual information and very detailed explanations . Well worth the price for what you get. Would recommend if you are interested in astronomy but only suitable for older children if they have a real interest.

Very simple process to book through Tripadvisor with links sent and emails confirmingbokking. This was a good organised and well informed tour - picked up almost at the hotel and were a very small inital group of 8. 2 families of 4 both with 2 children. Joined later by a further 6-8 people. Maximillian was very informative and full of interesting pieces of information throughout the trip, not just about astronomy. Unfortunately there was too many clouds to be able to see the stars. Made for a very disappointing end to what was a very good day. Trip on cable car not included as we thought but expect that would have added another couple of hours on to the trip. I can only confirm you really do need winter clothes as the temperature dropped very quickly. Took the kids hats scarves and gloves and were needed. I am hoping I will get an invititaion to return for the star gazing as we visit Tenerife each year in February and considering Tenerife gets 300 days a year of clear skys was unlucky. I'll update with outcome so you know what happens if you miss the stars as this is the main event in my opinion.
