One of the best experiences that I've had. They were so polite, understandable and provided answer to every question we asked. Our instructor adjusted to our pace and watched over us during the whole dive. Hope I can come back to Tenerife to dive again! I recommend this experience for everyone that wants to try diving for the first time

Stargazing activity at night on Teide was amazing. Seeing Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, constelation of 7 sisters and many more first time in my life, really worth every penny. Interesting facts, will deffo look up additional things. Great organisation. Just make sure you dress up warm. It was 8 degrees mid of November ’22.

It is a nice activity on the border between science and hobby with basic knowledge and some advanced also. A nice opportunity to look through big telescope and see the planes of our system.

It was really fabulous trip for the family like me got younger kids. Bassio showed us a lot views and tell us many information about teide. Really recommend:)

The perfect experience to start the vacation in Tenerife. Excellent guide, excellent van, excellent view We highly recommend this activity.
