# Gran Canaria: Sunset and Stargazing Tour - PickUp or Self Drive

**Guidekin's take:** A mountain drive to sunset above the clouds at Pico de las Nieves, then a telescope session with Starlight certified guides, a laser constellation tour and a photo of you under the stars, from €45 per person with a pickup option from the south or self drive. Meals and snacks are not included. Rated 4.88 by 32 travellers.

## Overview

Experience Gran Canaria’s most magical night above the clouds on our Sunset and Stargazing tour.
We begin with a scenic drive through the island’s mountains, passing canyons, palm oases, and villages such as Arteara and Fataga. Our first stop is Mirador Astronómico de la Degollada de las Yeguas, with panoramic views of Gran Canaria’s interior. We then continue to Mirador Picos de las Nieves for sunset.
At 1,950m above sea level, enjoy views above the clouds, with both Mount Teide and Pico de las Nieves visible. Sip a glass of cava or juice while watching the sunset before heading to a remote stargazing spot.
With minimal light pollution and clear skies, the Canary Islands are one of the world’s top stargazing destinations. Using powerful telescopes, our guides will reveal planets, galaxies, nebulae, and star clusters. You'll also enjoy a laser-guided constellation tour and insights into the universe.
To finish, we’ll take a professional astrophotography portrait of you under the stars.
