Astronomy and Geology in Tenerife

  • All Inclusive

  • 7 nights

  • London Gatwick Airport

  • Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife

Tenerife is an ideal location for stargazers and geologists. Its unique position near the equator, combined with lots of cloudless nights, means we'll witness the magnificent colours of the Milky Way in its full glory - something we can't see at home. Along with our expert host, Dr. Sheona Urquhart (PhD in Astrophysics and Galaxy Evolution), we'll take a trip up the 12,000-foot-tall Mount Teide volcano, where astronomy observations are some of the best in Europe. We'll learn about the stars, planets, and distant galaxies, take in some of the most breathtaking views, and gain insights into the life and work of the astronomers based on the island.

Location

Best Hotel Semiramis map

The hotel stands in the quiet, elevated quarter of Puerto de la Cruz known as La Paz. It’s a great base for exploring, with various shops, bars and restaurants within easy reach, and some beautiful parks and botanical gardens less than 30 minutes’ walk away. The main square of Puerto de la Cruz old town is about two kilometres away and the beach is even closer, all easily reached by taxi, local bus or the Saga courtesy bus which runs from Monday to Saturday.

The lively main restaurant serves buffet-style meals and features a show cooking area where you can watch the chefs in action. The pool bar is open during the day and the lobby bar open in the evening depending on the weather. The exclusive Saga Club Lounge, with tea and coffee-making facilities, is conveniently situated between the two. The restaurant is likely to be busier during peak times of the year and you may have to queue to enjoy the live show cooking.
