VIP Stargazing Tour in La Palma
From the very beginning, you’ll feel this experience is designed just for you. The telescope will be adjusted to your eyesight, you’ll be free to ask all your questions, and the small group (maximum 10 people) ensures a personal and intimate experience. You’ll feel like a true amateur astronomer for one unforgettable night.
Guided by a Starlight expert, you’ll begin by identifying constellations and planets with the help of a laser pointer. Through binoculars, you’ll explore wide regions of the sky while hearing captivating stories that blend science, mythology, and cosmic facts.
Then comes the highlight: you’ll observe the surface of the Moon, planets like Jupiter or Saturn (if visible), and travel with your gaze to distant galaxies, clusters, and nebulae.
The activity lasts around 1 hour and 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your interests and curiosity. At the end, you’ll return to the meeting point feeling as if you’ve traveled through the universe.
