A truly wonderful experience. Seeing the milky way for the first time - wow Seeing Saturn through a telescope !! Kaz was very knowledgeable and very funny What as great evening
5Incredible
We booked this experience in advance as it was a must do for us when visiting Corralejo, and we are so glad that we did as it was one of the most incredible sights we have seen. We were instructed to dress warmly and that we would be picked up from our hotel at a set time via WhatsApp which was really helpful. We were only a five minute drive away from the dunes, reassuring if you, like me, are not a great passenger. We did this in August and had on a hoodie and shorts, which we found to be warm enough but this may differ depending on where you’re visiting from - if in doubt, layer up as it is quite exposed! After a short walk from the road down to the dunes, our Star Guide, Karen, instructed us to lie down on our provided rugs and blankets whilst she sorted out the camera and telescope set up. During this time, we got to see plenty of shooting stars (the Perseids shower). With our binoculars, which were also provided, we got to see the moon before it set, Venus, and many different constellations. Karen’s explanations and understand of the stars was unbelievable, and definitely the sign of someone who loves what they do. As our experience started slightly later than planned, we got to see so many different sights in the night sky, including Saturn, the Andromeda galaxy, the Milky Way, and many more. We were blown away at the quality of the tour which included high quality photos of the night sky. Even without the telescope and binoculars, we would have been delighted with our experience. An absolute must for anyone visiting Corralejo, we would definitely do this again if we were to return to the area!
5Startastic
Fantastic, the enthusiasm that Karen had was amazing. It felt like we had been lifted to another place in the stars. Saturn, Milky way, the moon like we have never seen before, even M6 (not the road). Shooting stars appeared on demand. Highly recommend Thank you Karen for an amazing and memorable evening.
5Star gazing
Our teenage boys loved it and are looking forward to camping under the stars next time !
4Star Gaving
Fab experience and very cool to lay in the Dunnes and listen to the waves and learn about the stars
5Wonderful experience
Karen is extremely passionate which really brings the experience to life. We got very lucky and saw the Milky Way, and Karen talked us through multiple celestial objects and let us view certain things through the telescope. All in all a perfect night and a great activity to do with your partner!

Fuerteventura lies in the eastern Canary Islands, close to the African coast. Its landscape is dry and open, with volcanic cones, rust-coloured mountains and miles of white and golden sand, and in 2009 UNESCO named the whole island a biosphere reserve. Puerto del Rosario is the capital, and Betancuria, an inland village of whitewashed houses, was the island's first capital.
