We had a great time on this tour. Fernando was an excellent tour guide with so much knowledge and Maximo, our driver, was also an excellent DJ and barman! I would definitely recommend this tour. The stargazing was amazing.

Brilliant trip - started off with coffee and cake in Vilaflor, then we stopped at several viewpoints whilst travelling up to Teide. We had Cava and mulled wine whilst watching the sunset then onto seeing the stars.

Very well organized tour in a confortable bus. Guide was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the island. Spectacular sunset view. Unfortunately clouds came in play and could not see stars.

Our Kayak trip was a worthy experience! The services provided by the office in La Caleta, Tenerife were excellent too! We do recommend it! :)

Unforgettable experience. Very well organized. Breathtaking landscapes.
