Description
Tenerife has one of the best skies in the world, with Starlight certification. Above 2,200 metres and away from lights, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye.
An amateur astronomer teaches you to recognise constellations, planets and clusters with a laser pointer, and then we use telescopes to see Saturn, Jupiter or nebulae depending on the season.
It suits couples, families with older children and anyone who wants a different night. We provide blankets and hot chocolate.
