Desert Night Astronomy – Sunset Hike & Stargazing in Gran Canaria

Discover a different side of Gran Canaria with a magical evening of coastal landscapes, sunset views, a picnic in nature and stargazing on a remote beach.

Leave the busy tourist areas behind and join us on a unique adventure along the wild southwest coast of Gran Canaria. This experience combines a short scenic hike, a beautiful Atlantic sunset and an unforgettable night under the stars.

A Short Hike to the White Ocean Cliffs

Our adventure begins near Mogán, where we take a short hike through a peaceful coastal landscape to discover the spectacular White Ocean Cliffs, one of the island’s hidden natural treasures.

Along the way, your local guide will share interesting facts about Gran Canaria’s volcanic landscapes, nature and coastline.

The contrast between the white cliffs, the deep blue Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding mountains makes this a beautiful place to explore, take photos and enjoy the silence of nature.

Sunset Over the Atlantic Ocean

As the sun gets closer to the horizon, we’ll find a beautiful spot to enjoy one of the most special moments of the day.

Watch the colours of the sky change as the sun sets over the Atlantic Ocean, with incredible views of the cliffs and coastline.

We’ll also enjoy a relaxed picnic at dusk, surrounded by nature and away from the crowds. It’s the perfect moment to slow down, enjoy the scenery and experience the peaceful atmosphere of Gran Canaria’s wild coast.

Stargazing on a Remote Beach

When darkness arrives, our adventure continues to a remote beach, far from the bright lights of the tourist resorts.

Here, surrounded by the sound of the ocean and the night sky above us, we’ll discover the fascinating world of astronomy.

Your guide will help you identify stars, constellations and planets visible that night, while sharing simple and interesting explanations about our universe.

Learn how to recognise some of the most famous constellations, understand the movements of the night sky and discover how people have used the stars for navigation throughout history.

Depending on the season and weather conditions, we may also have the opportunity to observe the Milky Way and other beautiful features of the night sky.

No previous astronomy knowledge is needed. Our explanations are easy to understand, making this experience enjoyable for everyone, from curious beginners to nature and astronomy lovers.

A Different Way to Experience Gran Canaria

Desert Night Astronomy is much more than a traditional stargazing tour. It’s a complete evening adventure combining hiking, spectacular coastal scenery, a sunset picnic and the beauty of the night sky.

With small groups and a friendly local guide, you’ll discover places that many visitors never get to see.

Forget the crowded viewpoints and busy tourist attractions. Come and experience the quieter, wilder and more authentic side of Gran Canaria.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where the mountains meet the ocean, the sun disappears behind the horizon and the stars take over the sky.
