In detail

Get to know La Palma's sky on a stargazing trip with pickup in Los Llanos de Aridane, Los Cancajos, Fuencaliente or Santa Cruz de La Palma.

Climb to the Roque de los Muchachos viewpoint, the island's highest point at 2,426 metres above sea level, and see the telescopes lining the road while your StarLight guide explains the story behind each one and why this extraordinary spot was chosen as their home (you won't go inside the observatories).

Then head to a nearby viewpoint to enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine. After dark, weather permitting, observe the sky through a quality telescope: countless stars, galaxies, planets, nebulae and star clusters, all with your guide's help.

Let one of the purest skies on the planet impress you without worrying about the drive back: you'll be returned to your hotel between 22:00 and 01:00, depending on sunset time and the season.

Important information

Tours may be cancelled due to weather conditions; in that case you can change the date during your stay or receive a full refund. The activity does not run on full-moon nights, as the moonlight affects the visibility of the stars. The start time may change depending on sunset. Bring warm clothing, a camera and a charged phone.
