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. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 248 pickup points - 19 start times: between 15:00 and 20:40 - Food included: see what is included - Children from €25: ages 5 to 12 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 248 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €45 per person for the Self Drive Sunset & Stargazing option; other options up to €75 - Duration: 5h - Rating: 4.88/5 from 34 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Operator: Stargazing Gran Canaria - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 19 start times between 15:00 and 20:40 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.88 from 34 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 33 of 34. - 5 stars: 33 (97%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (3%) ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Self Drive Sunset & Stargazing | €45 / person | English | - | | Gran Canaria: Sunset & Stargazing Tour: PickUp | €75 / person | English | Pickup included | ## What's included - Laser-guided constellation tour - Live deep-sky images shown on-site - Hotel pickup and drop-off from the south of the island (If you select the PICK UP Option) - Use of complimentary blankets - Downloadable photo of you under the stars using Astrophotography techniques - Scenic mountain drive - Professional Stargazing session with telescopes and Starlight certified guides - Welcome drink at the sunset site (Cava or Juice) ## Not included - Meals - Transport from the North of the island - Snacks - No transport provided if you select the SELF DRIVE option. ## Itinerary 1. **You’ll be picked up directly from or near your accommodation in the south of ...** (10m; admission included) - You’ll be picked up directly from or near your accommodation in the south of Gran Canaria (Between Puerto Mogan and Bahia Feliz).
