Experience an unforgettable evening that begins with a sunset from a panoramic mountain viewpoint in La Palma, the world's first Starlight Reserve. As the sky changes colour, relax with a complimentary glass of local wine while taking in the scenery. Once darkness falls, your certified Starlight guide will introduce you to the wonders of the night sky, using a laser pointer to identify the brightest stars, constellations, and planets while sharing astronomical facts and local legends. Then, through powerful telescopes, you'll observe the Moon (when visible), planets, nebulae, star clusters, and distant galaxies beneath some of the clearest, darkest skies on Earth. Thanks to La Palma's protected skies, high altitude, and exceptional atmospheric conditions, this is a truly magical journey from sunset to the stars.

Having been to the info centre previously and watch the video we expected to see more and it to have a bit more of the wow factor. Still a great trip

Loved seeing the night sky - amazing! Loved seeing planets and stars through the telescope, especially Saturn and Jupiter. Excellent astronomer-guide. Rather a lot of standing around - more talk and/or refreshments would be good. Suggest also more photo opportunities on the way - limited chance to photograph observatories and dishes MATS to lie on would be great! Then we could really see the night sky in comfort

This was an amazing experience, the stars from the mountain top are unreal. Using the telescope was easy and it was extraordinary to see the moons of Jupiter, a dream come true, an experience I will never forget. It is cold up there! Blankets were provided but I was glad to have jumpers too

The TUI app was a bit misleading. There wasn't that much information The whole trip lasted about6.5 hours, not 2 to 4. In the winter we needed very warm clothing, the temperature was about 3C and there was a howling wind. The telescope is perched on uneven ground on the side of a mountain, and of course it has to be dark, so you can't se the ground and with feet like blocks of ice, it was easy to stumble. The sunset views before was magnificent, the guide was excellent about the stars etc.
