Stargazing Tour with big Telescopes & Pickup

Astronomy tour with guided stargazing in Gran Canaria’s mountains, suitable for all levels and small groups.

Start with a hotel pickup in southern Gran Canaria about 90 minutes before sunset. Travel by 9-seater minibus through volcanic landscapes and stop at Mirador del Mulato viewpoint for panoramic valley views and photos.

After sunset, relocate to a carefully chosen dark-sky site, often near natural landmarks like Presa de las Niñas. Professional guides lead the stargazing session, adjusting location based on weather and guest preferences.

Using powerful 16-inch handmade telescopes, observe planets, the Moon, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters while learning about constellations and basic astronomy. Each group of up to 8 guests shares one telescope, ensuring ample observation time. No prior astronomy knowledge is necessary.

This activity is authorized by the Canarian government (registry number TA-1-2804.16).
