Ride by coach into Teide National Park, then take the cable car to 3,555 metres for island views. Your guide explains Tenerife’s volcanic past, while free trails, the Science & Legend exhibit, and a digital audio guide give you time to explore. Pickup is available from the north and south of the island.

“Have used GYG 8 times to date and are always happy with them. Good communication about pick-up points, on time, comfortable coach. Very good and knowledgeable guide (Laura) and driver (Caramelo). Interesting trip. There were 4 breaks, we would have preferred maybe 2 breaks so we could spend more time at the Visitor Centre which was really interesting. Unfortunately the cable car was closed as it was very windy but GYG refunded the money very speedily. Recommended.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,601 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $95Top rated

Join Night Skies Tenerife for a seven-hour evening from South Tenerife. You’ll ride into Teide National Park, eat a three-course Canarian dinner, toast sunset with cava, and study the stars through four powerful telescopes. Guides including Craig, Kieran, Sol, and Sonja explain the sky in clear, friendly English, with free night photos included.

“This was a good excursion -- the dinner stop was great -- really good food. The sunset was gorgeous. The telescopes provided amazing views. The staff was quite helpful and accommodating. Due to the advice provided in advance by the tour company, we "dressed in layers" and were very comfortable with the night temperatures. My advice to them and to someone who takes this tour would be this: 1. Since the "modern" bathrooms are closed at the sunset viewing site, UPON ARRIVAL there, show attendees where the alternative is (since it is a bit of a hike) and send the first woman and the first guy with a roll of…”

5.Sunset & Stargazing Experience From Teide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,129 reviews · 6 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $48

Spend about six and a half hours traveling from South Tenerife into Teide National Park. Guide Ozzi leads the sunset and volcano stops, while astronomy guides use lasers and telescopes to show planets, galaxies, and constellations. Dinner is optional, but all participants wait at the restaurant while the meal is served.

“Excellent experience. The dinner was so/sp but the sunset viewpoint and later stargazing were incredible. Guide Ozzie was great and did a terrific job managing a large group and helping teach us about the stars and constellations. The telescopes provided an additional surprise with views of Saturn and its rings, and Jupiter. I would only recommend that people bring warm clothes and blankets as it gets very chilly up on the mountain at night.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 305 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Ride a quad from San Miguel through Arona, La Escalona, Vilaflor, and Teide National Park. You’ll climb to about 2,400 meters, with roughly 15% on dirt roads and the rest on protected paved routes. Guides such as Lucas, Yeary, and Mateo have led tours, with photo stops, a café break, and optional pickup from south Tenerife.

“We had the best time on this trip! The views driving through the national park were amazing and a great view of Mount Teide. We felt very safe due to the great organisation and direction of our guides Lucas and Yeary. They made the day so enjoyable taking great photos of us as well. We would definitely recommend renting the coats and gloves for a small price as the temperature difference when you’re driving and climbing up through the hills is crazy, quite chilly when you’re 2100m up! A great day and would definitely recommend!”
