You will marvel at the sunset over the islands of La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro from a viewpoint (1400m of elevation), right by a lava flow from a volcanic eruption noted in the ship's log by Cristopher Colombus in 1492. Every sunset is different! You can celebrate this unique experience and take pictures of the beautiful colours of the sky with the sun shining through a glass of Cava (Spanish sparkling wine) we provide.
After sunset, if conditions allow (wind, clouds and temperature) we will transfer to another beautiful viewpoint. Our guides will show you stars, constellations and planets using a laser pointer and their storytelling skills. We will explain how to find Polaris, the North Star, using the asterism in Ursa Major, and how to find the Andromeda galaxy using the great square of Pegasus, all while learning some Greek mythology. You will further enjoy the details of planets, galaxies, nebulae and star clusters through the 12” Dobsonian telescope we provide.

Depending on the time of the year, you will see:

• the Moon, which will be the main object in the sky the days before and on full moon
• the planets and their features such as the rings of Saturn and the Galilean moons around Jupiter when they are visible in the sky (in the summer and autumn months),
• beautiful galaxies, nebulae and star clusters such as the Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters in the constellation of Taurus (in winter).

We will take photos of the guests individually using astrophotography techniques that show the blanket of stars above you. Free of charge!
Take home great memories of Tenerife's dark sky!

NOTE: If our guides consider the weather conditions to be adverse (high wind, clouds or low temperatures), they will make the decision to stay at the lower viewpoint, which in itself is already perfect for stargazing and does not detract from the overall experience
