3.Premium Stargazing Tour for 10

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 51 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $88

Meet your English or Spanish-speaking guide at Roque de Los Muchachos, 1,300 meters above sea level, and spend 90 minutes viewing planets, nebulae, star groups, and the Moon through high-grade telescopes. Guides such as Angelo and Antonio explain complex astronomy in plain language. Bring a car, warm layers, food, and drinks.

“Angelo is really knowledgeable and a good guide. We enjoyed learning about and watching the cosmos. The price was a bit steep for us and the temperatures under 5°C were a challenge. We'd like to do it again in a better time of the year (warmer, better night sky) and a smaller group. For the experience we had in January, we thought the price was too high and could've included an entry ticket to the visitors centre.”

Reservamos el tour VIP, que ofrece una experiencia más privada dentro del grupo general (contamos con nuestro propio telescopio, la ayuda más personalizada de uno de los guías y unas bonitas fotos de recuerdo). Gracias a María José y Nicolás, los astrónomos detrás de la actividad, por hacer que nuestra velada observando el mejor cielo del mundo fuese inolvidable.”
