Explore our sunset and stargazing tours for an unforgettable night under Gran Canaria’s stars. Learn about the wonders of the night sky in one of the best stargazing destinations in the world.

We offer two types of guided group tours: with transport included or a self-drive option.

The guided tour with transport is perfect for those seeking a magical evening of astronomy, nature, and comfort. We’ll pick you up and take you on a scenic sunset drive through Gran Canaria’s dramatic mountain landscapes, passing deep canyons and charming villages, stopping at some stunning viewpoints along the way before heading to the sunset viewpoint: Mirador de las Picos de las Nieves

Perched at 1948m above sea level, this viewpoint offers spectacular views above the clouds, with both Teide in Tenerife and Pico de las Nieves in Gran Canaria in sight. Enjoy a glass of cava or juice as you take in the breathtaking sunset above the clouds. Afterward, we’ll head deeper into the island’s rugged interior to the remote stargazing site at Llanos de la Pez for a magical night under the stars.

Includes a professional night sky photo of you under the stars using expert Astrophotography techniques.

The self-drive option offers the same experience, but with the freedom to drive yourself there and stay as long as you like.

 Verified Unser Guide Diego war sehr kompetent und man hat gemerkt ihm macht das ganze sehr viel Spaß. Der erste Stopp beim Sonnenuntergang war sehr schön und man konnte diesen in Ruhe genießen. Beim Stargazing hat Diego alles sehr gut erklären können und man hat einiges über die Sterne gelernt! Unser Highlight war das Foto mit dem Sternenhimmel im Hintergrund. Man sollte definitiv eine warme Jacke mitnehmen, da es auf dem Berg bei Nacht dann doch relativ schnell kalt wird. Bei der Fahrt erzählt Diego auch schon einige interessante Dinge. All in all empfehlen wirs aufjedenfall weiter!

 Verified Amazing from start to finish! Diego was very friendly and full of facts that blow your mind! The drive is quite long, but well worth the views you see and the night sky you get. We stopped off at our first view point which is like a valley, the views were incredible. The sunset was the best I’ve ever seen and the night sky was spectacular, seeing the milky way with my own eyes was quite the experience. Diego has a lot of knowledge about the stars, galaxies and constellations and the telescope brings these facts all together. Such an amazing time. Would definitely recommend!

 Verified Absolutely fantastic tour led by Diego. The first stop is at Gran Canaria’s Canyon which had fabulous views. afterwards we were driven up the mountains and had watched the sunset over the clouds, and had stunning views of Tenerife in the distance! Afterwards we went to the stargazing spot and had the most perfect clear night. Diego is very knowledgeable about stars and is clearly very passionate about what he does. This felt like a really special night and would recommend it to anyone

 Verified ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ein unvergesslicher Abend auf Gran Canaria Wir hatten eine fantastische Stargazing Tour mit Diego! Schon die Fahrt in die Berge war ein Erlebnis, und der wunderschöne Sonnenuntergang war der perfekte Start in den Abend. Diego ist ein großartiger Guide – sympathisch, aufmerksam und mit unglaublich viel Wissen über den Sternenhimmel. Seine Erklärungen waren interessant, verständlich und nie langweilig. Besonders die Beobachtung der Sterne und Planeten durch das Teleskop war beeindruckend. 🔭✨ Die Atmosphäre in der Gruppe war entspannt und persönlich, und man merkt sofort, dass Diego seine Tour mit viel Leidenschaft macht. Für uns war es eines der Highlights unseres Gran-Canaria-Aufenthalts. Absolute Empfehlung – 5 Sterne! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Vielen Dank, Diego, für diesen besonderen Abend! 🌅🌌

 Verified Der Treffpunkt hat super geklappt, wir konnten in Ruhe den Sonnenuntergang mit einen Glas Cava genießen. Dann guten mm wir unseren Guide Diego hinterher zum Parkplatz. Er hat kurz das Teleskop aufgebaut und uns dann verschiedene Sternbilder, Sterbens etc vorgestellt und gezeigt mit ausgiebigen Erklärungen. Die Gruppe war nicht zu groß, so dass Alle in Ruhe durch das Teleskop schauen konnten. Wir freuen uns schon auf die Bilder!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was great. It was a bit crowded at sunset, so if you’re going in your own car, it’s good to know where to park. The stargazing was brilliant. I went with my two children, aged 10 and 8, and we all had a great time. We learnt a lot and enjoyed the whole evening. Thanks!

 Verified We really enjoyed the whole evening with Diego. Communication after booking is via WhatsApp until Diego arrived to collect us at our hotel where there was immediately a warm and friendly face and very knowledgeable, his English is very good. There is quite a lot of driving if you are based in the south of the island. It took around an hour to collect all the participants and then another hour to the sunset viewpoint. We were lucky to have a relatively clear night so could see across to Tenerife and Mount Tiede. Diego had some stories of the villages and towns that we passed through, these titbits were light hearted and enjoyable. We had to go to an alternative star gazing location due to some cloud cover that came in, we really enjoyed the experience and the equivalent and Diegos knowledge were professional standard. Clearly, keen and passionate about his subject. Caution there is a long drive and there are no toilet facilities be prepared to hide behind a bush!

 Verified Der Tagesausflug inkl. Transport mit Diego waren top! Diego ist ein guter und erfahrener Tour Guide, der ein crazy Fahrer zugleich ist (Respekt an die Fahrt mit den unzähligen Kurven). Es war ein atemberaubendes Erlebnis, was sich definitiv gelohnt hatte und ich nochmals machen würde, wenn ich wieder in Gran Canaria sein sollte.

 Verified Wij hebben een hele leuke avond gehad. Wij zijn zelf met de auto naar het ontmoetingspunt gereden en hebben daar eerst een prachtige zonsondergang gezien. Vervolgens zijn we door gegaan om naar de sterren te kijken. Wij hebben er enorm van genoten, we hebben heel veel informatie gekregen van Diego over verschillende sterren en sterrenbeelden. Het was een hele leuke, magische en leerzame avond. Zeker een aanrader!

 Verified Der Guide war super nett und hat auf der Fahrt nach oben auch einige Informationen über die Ortschaften erzählt. Wir haben uns trotz enger und steiler Straßen sehr sicher gefühlt. Außerdem hat er viele interessante Geschichten zu den Sternbildern erzählt. Leider war es etwas bewölkt, aber zwischendurch war immer ein Teil des Sternenhimmels sichtbar und der Guide war sehr flexibel und konnte sein Programm so anpassen, dass wir immer etwas Neues gelernt und gesehen haben. Natürlich möchte ich hier nicht spoilern! Ich würde die Tour auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen!

 Verified Będziemy bardzo długo pamiętać tę wycieczkę. Zachód słońca na Pico de las Nieves robi wrażenie i rzeczywiście warto pokonać kręt� drogę żeby to zobaczyć. Po zachodzie słońca pojechaliśmy ogl� dać gwiazdy. Niebo nie zawiodło naszych oczekiwań. Przewodnik fajnie przekazywał wiedzę, dzielił się z grup� ciekawostkami na temat tego co widać na niebie, odpowiadał na pytania, Można było obserwować niebo przez teleskopy. Bardzo nam się podobała ta wycieczka. Córka która interesuje się tematem gwiazd zakończyła wycieczkę szcześliwa. Polecamy!

 Verified Alles was top! Beginnend bij het vervoer. Daniel haalde ons op aan het hotel en we kregen meteen een warm welkom. Hij nam de tijd om ons te leren kennen en omdat je met een kleine groep bent, hangt er een heel gezellige sfeer. We voelde ons enorm veilig bij hem in de auto en genoten al op en top van de rit alleen al. Daarna stopten we op 2 punten en keken we de zonsondergang. De gidsen zorgde voor cava en daar kwamen we helemaal tot rust. Daarna gingen we stargazen en dat was de cherry on the top. Gids Diego leerde ons vanalles kennen over het heelal. Zijn enthousiasme was prachtig om te zien. Ondanks er wat wolken waren deden ze er alles aan om ons de mooiste dingen te kunnen laten zien. Een echte aanrader!!

I had a great time on the tour, the guide Diego is so passionate and knowledgeable about the stars, he was a delight. The pick-up and organization all worked perfectly, we admired a beautiful sunset at Pico de las Nieves and then did stargazing a bit further on the hill. A great way to see some more of the island, perfect especially for the space passionates like myself

There was music playing and we even learnt some history about the island as we passed through the mountains! We stopped for a break to take some pictures and have prosecco or juice and then continued our journey to the star gazing point. Diego informed us about different constellations, the names of the stars and interesting facts about them. He was extremely knowledgable and kept us all engaged. 10/10 must do!

 Verified Es war sehr schön, Transport ohne Probleme mit Infos über die Orte die durchfahren wurden. Der Sonnenuntergang war sehr schön und eine spektakuläre Kulisse. Getränke wurden angeboten und die Musik auf der Fahrt hat immer zur Aussicht gepasst. Der Sternenhimmel war sehr schön und wir haben viel über die Sterne und die Unterschiede zwischen Früher und Heute erfahren. Von den Teleskopen haben wir uns mehr erhofft, darüber hätten wir uns aber selbst informieren können. Auf Nahaufnahmen der betrachteten Objekten muss man aber trotzdem nicht verzichten, da die Guides davon teilweise hoch entwickelte Fotos zeigen. Die Fotos die mit der speziellen Kamera gemacht wurden sind unglaublich und alleine dafür hat es sich gelohnt. Alles in einem also auf jeden Fall ein sehr guter Ausflug, vor Allem wenn man sich für Sterne interessiert.
