Teide National Park - Night Skies Tenerife

Teide National Park

Teide National Park (Parque Nacional del Teide) occupies approximately 190 square kilometres in the middle of the Island of Tenerife, the largest of the seven Canary Islands, which enjoys a warm climate most of the year round.

Named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007, Teide National Park is home to Mount Teide (El Teide), the highest peak in Spain and the World’s third tallest volcanic structure. Surrounded by a spectacular forest of Canarian Pine, the park is also populated with several species of endemic trees, plants, and reptiles.

A jewel in the crown of Tenerife, Teide National Park is not only a natural wonder by day but also a celestial theatre by night. Since 2014, this majestic landscape has been recognized as a “Starlight Destination” a prestigious title bestowed by the Starlight Foundation to locations that offer optimal conditions for stargazing and astrophotography.

The park’s commitment to preserving its dark skies not only enhances the experience for visitors but also protects the nocturnal environment, ensuring that future generations can continue to gaze in awe at the universe’s boundless beauty.

Teide National Park is the perfect destination to experience the enchanting night skies of Tenerife.

Cancellation and Curtailment Policy

We are blessed in Tenerife with wonderful and clear weather on most days, the Teide Observatory registers over 300 clear or partially clear nights every year!. However, on the rare occasion where this is not the case, we have the following policies:

Cancellation Policy

If the live webcam on Teide shows, or the weather forecast predicts severely adverse conditions and there is an extremely low probability that the tour can be completed, then we will cancel the tour giving the most notice possible. We will make every effort to reschedule you on another tour, however where this is not possible we will arrange a 100% refund to you.

Curtailment Policy

If the live webcam on Teide shows, or the weather forecast predicts conditions such that we believe that there is a reasonable probability that the tour can be completed, then we will proceed with the tour in good faith and make every effort possible to ensure that we can complete the tour and deliver a satisfactory sunset and stargazing experience for you. However, at our discretion, if we believe that the weather conditions have deteriorated to an extent that we are unable to provide a satisfactory sunset and/or stargazing experience due to poor visibility; we will curtail the tour at either the commencement of the sunset or the commencement of the stargazing.

We will make every effort to reschedule you on another day free of charge, however where this is not possible we will arrange a refund of Two Thirds (66.67%) of your ticket price if the tour is curtailed prior to the sunset and 50% of your ticket price if the tour is curtailed at the stargazing and furthermore we will issue you with a voucher for a One Half (50%) discount if you book another tour on our website within the next 12 months.

We appreciate that the above terms ‘extremely low probability’, ‘reasonable probability’ and ‘satisfactory experience’ are all subject to interpretation, but this decision is at our discretion and is our decision alone. We will always aim to be fair and transparent when making these decisions.
