Explore the night-sky wonders of Gran Canaria on this chilled-out stargazing tour. As the sun sets, you'll be transported by minibus to the island's summit, the perfect vantage point for celestial observation. Maria, one of our expert local guides, says, 'The Canary Islands have laws in place to protect their skies from light pollution, ensuring optimal conditions for stargazing.

You'll get to learn fascinating facts about celestial bodies, the mythology behind constellations, and the science of astronomy.
