Itinerary
Day 1
Romantic sunset and stargazing loop from Costa Adeje: pickup, meal, sunset viewpoint, then stargazing in Teide National Park. Schedule is tuned for a pleasant golden hour and clear sky viewing in September.
Meet & Board — Plaza Playas del Duque (pick-up)
Meet your Tenerife Stars guide and group near the Plaza Playas del Duque bus stop for a prompt boarding. Your guide will confirm the booking and share a brief safety & comfort rundown before departure.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask your guide for a quiet corner seat on the minivan — perfect for a post‑sunset cuddle with minimal disturbance.
- Bring a light, windproof layer; coastal breeze at boarding can feel chilly before the mountain ascent.
- Have your phone fully charged for golden‑hour photos; the guide can help frame couple shots later.
Scenic Transfer to Casa Sira (drive through south Tenerife)
Comfortable air‑conditioned drive inland toward Guía de Isora; enjoy dramatic coastal-to-mountain scenery as you climb away from the resorts.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the left side of the vehicle for the best early coastal sunset glimpses on the drive (depending on route).
- If you’re prone to motion sensitivity, ask the driver for a slightly gentler driving line — the guide is used to accommodating couples.
- Use this time to let the guide know if you’d like a private photographer upgrade at sunset (optional extra).
Dinner at Casa Sira — Local 3‑course (meal option)
Relaxed, locally inspired 3-course meal with selected wine and soft drinks (only for guests who selected the meal option). A cozy, intimate dining stop to start the evening.

Tips from local experts:
- Request a window or a quieter side table when you arrive for a more intimate ambience — the restaurant staff are used to accommodating couples.
- Try a small local wine pairing recommended by the server to toast the evening — it’s a lovely pre‑sunset ritual.
- If you want a lighter meal to stay alert for stargazing, ask for menu recommendations; staff can adapt portions.
Transfer to Mirador de Los Poleos (short mountain drive)
Quick scenic drive toward Santiago del Teide bringing you up to higher elevation — the perfect prelude to sunset above the clouds.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit together on the same side for the best views when the vehicle winds along coastal cliffs.
- Keep a light scarf or wrap handy — temperatures drop noticeably as you gain altitude.
- Confirm with the guide the best spot at the mirador for a private couple photo; they can suggest framing and timing for golden light.
Sunset & Golden‑hour at Mirador de Los Poleos
Enjoy a romantic sunset from ~1,400 metres with dramatic views over the sea and, frequently, a sea of clouds beneath the viewpoint — prime golden‑hour for couples' photos.

Tips from local experts:
- Bring a small blanket from your hotel (recommended in requirements) to sit together — it makes a cozy photo op above the clouds.
- Ask your guide to use the laser pointer after sunset to point out constellations while you wait for full darkness — a fun shared activity.
- For a dramatic couple shot, wait for the moment the sun dips partially behind the clouds — the colours are especially rich in September.
Short drive to Teide National Park stargazing location
A final, short ascent to the stargazing site at roughly 2,000 metres (weather permitting) where telescopes will be set up away from light pollution.
Tips from local experts:
- Use the transfer to layer up: temperatures can fall sharply after sunset—a warm jacket is essential for a comfortable stargazing cuddle.
- Ask the guide where the telescopes will be placed so you and your partner can get the best viewing order together.
- If you want a private, framed telescope photo, tell the guide — they often assist couples with smartphone adapter shots.
Guided Stargazing Session — Telescopes & Constellations
Expert astronomical guidance with high‑quality telescopes and laser pointers. Observe the Moon, planets (seasonal), nebulae, and, if conditions allow, the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way — intimate and educational under pristine skies.

Return transfer & drop‑off back in Costa Adeje
Relaxed return to your original meeting point in the south; use the ride back to relive highlights and download photos with your partner.
Tips from local experts:
- Swap favourite photos on the return ride — it’s a great way to wind down and plan a nightcap back at your hotel.
- If you need a brief stop for warm drinks or a restroom on the way back, mention it to the driver — the team is used to couple comforts.
- Expect slightly cooler temperatures on return; keep a light jacket handy until you re‑enter your hotel or car.
