3.Premium Stargazing Tour for 10

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

Meet guides such as Angelo or Antonio at Roque de Los Muchachos, 1,300 meters above sea level, for a 90-minute small-group stargazing session. Use a telescope to view planets, the moon, star groups, and nebulas while learning in English or Spanish. Bring serious cold-weather clothing.

“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.”
