Eine unvergessliche Tour mit Spitzen Equipment. Der Guide ist sehr erfahren und enthusiastisch. Einfach nur WOW. TOP kann man nur empfehlen
Hat sich sehr gelohnt! Man sieht super viele verschiedene Sterne & Planeten. Highly recommend!
I had a superb stargazing experience. Tiago is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the universe. We saw some remarkable things with the telescope. Will do it again when I visit again. Also the drive felt very safe, also compliments for the driver. Highly recommended.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. The best part was looking through the telescope and seeing the beautiful images. Possibly you could tell participants to bring plenty of warm clothing, it wasn’t clear to us that we would be standing still outside for more than an hour. Thank you for the opportunity
This is our the most memorable experience from Maderia - and we've had a few. Standing above the clouds and light pollution was wonderful, but our two guides made it really amazing with the telescopes. There was more than enough time to observe different celestial objects and ask a zillion questions. Our guide Tiago was really attentive and answered all of them. He even showed us how to make some great photos. Also, our driver was very careful and made sure we all felt safe and comfortable on the way up and down. Highly recomended!! Obrigado!
A wonderful stargazing experience. With two telescopes, our group observed stars and distant galaxies and learned a lot about astronomy. The guides were friendly, very knowledgeable, drove carefully, and made sure everyone got a chance to view the sky. Tip: wear very warm clothes—mountain temperatures dropped to about +6–7 °C.
Great experience with a wonderful team
This was a wonderful, awe-inspiring, mind-blowing experience. Tiago was the most engaging and enthusiastic tour guide. He followed up with photos from the night. We are a family of four with a common interest in star gazing and we had the most wonderful time. We saw some things we expected: moon, planet Venus, constellations. But we were blown away by some unexpected sightings of galaxies and nebulae and the Milky Way sweeping across the sky. A truly memorable experience, highly recommended.
Great experience! Been on the road with Alex, who was knowledgable on both the stars and the island. View is super sharp with the equipment and little light polution up the hills
