Spain · VOLCANO AND STARGAZING EXPERIENCES
20 tours
The shortlist we would hand a friend flying in: 15 volcano and stargazing experiences in Spain, each with a price, a verdict and the catch, where there is one.
Ride off-road buggies through Northern Lanzarote, tackling volcanic tracks to Peñas del Chache for big views, dust, and adrenaline.
“Steven was gracious. It was bumpy but lots of fun going to the top to see the sights. Pickup and checkin went smoothly and all were kind.”
Tenerife sunset and Teide stargazing with Cava, lasers, telescopes, and a free astrophoto. Small-group dark-sky magic.
“Phil the driver and guide was brilliant. Very knowledgeable.”
Teide sunset and stargazing from Tenerife with pickup, cava above the Sea of Clouds, dinner, x4 telescopes, and free photos.
“Overall a nice experience specially with the star gazing. Because of weather, we couldn’t see the sunset properly. However, food was also decent.”
Teide by Night pairs Teide park viewpoints, a sea-of-clouds sunset, dinner at Papillon, and telescope stargazing. Pickup included.
“Simply, breathtaking!!! This was absolutely worth the money and the evening away from the hustle and bustle of the resorts for an even filled with food, drink, nature, and stars!! Our tour guide lost her microphone so it meant that some info was shouted to us... but she carried on and proved her knowledge and expertise! She (Elaine with driver alfonzo) was amazing!”
Volcano heat at Timanfaya, circular vineyards in La Geria, aloe lessons, and a stop at El Lago Verde from Fuerteventura.
“Perfect way to spend a day in Lanzarote from Fuerteventura. I went with my family and we enjoyed the day trip. Price-wise is worth it, the boat is included and you don’t need to worry about how to move around Lanzarote. They bring you to different places and explain interesting facts. Our tour guide Claudia was amazing as she done tour flawlessly in 3 languages. William our coach driver also drove us very carefully. The crew in Lineas Romero boat were extremely carrying and made sure that all their passengers were okay.”
Sunset over Tenerife’s clouds, then Teide stargazing with telescopes and lasers, plus an optional canary-style dinner. From $48.
“Definitely need something warm. We went in January and it’s also 2000 metres up and it’ll was dark too obviously. Ozzi the guide is very knowledgable and also very funny. Very good at pointing out stars with his laser pen. If you’re a woman and needs the toilet often then you’ll struggle. No facilities up the mountain I’m afraid. There’s the odd bush if you’re a man though. There was a refreshment van which provided hot chocolate and chocolate bars etc. The refreshments aren’t part of the tour price though. Which was no problem.”
Hike volcanic craters, taste Canarian flavors, and end with a sunset above the clouds at Pico de Las Nieves.
“Nice tour and great experience. Our guide showed us great places in Gran Canaria and also arranged a nice lunch. The sunset view is amazing.”
Guided volcano hike in Lanzarote’s Volcanoes Natural Park with transfers, snacks, and small-group views into a crater in 4 hours.
“Excellent trip with enthusiastic and informative guide. Good value for money - we were picked up from hotel at 8:40 and returned at 14:00. The walk was around 3.5 hours - fairly gentle with plenty of stops for explanation of volcanoes etc.”
Guided stargazing at Calderón Hondo volcano. Climb in the dark, learn local fire-and-sky myths, and spot the Milky Way for $53.
“It was amazing! Luckely, there weren’t many clouds so we could see a lot of stars and even the planets Saturn and Jupiter! Alfredo showed and told us a lot about the stars and how they used the stars in the past to figure out the seasons. We even got the change to get a glimpse of the moon with the telescope. Also the photos and video made with the drone were a nice extra. Big shoot out to Alfredo!! 👌🏽”
Guided Can-Am buggy tour from Costa Teguise through Lanzarote’s north, 50% off-road, Mirador de las Nieves views and Teguise lime ovens.
“Fantastic guide. As a nervous passenger, our guide’s frequent stops to check on us meant the experience became so much less stressful for me. My husband had an absolute blast!!! Would definitely recommend. Take the jacket offered, you will be dusty.”
