The Hesperience Tour.

Hesperience is an officially authorized company by the Canarian Government, operating astronomy excursions since 2019. We work with powerful 16’’ telescopes and guarantee at least one telescope for every 8 guests, allowing plenty of time for relaxed and immersive observation.

You will be picked up directly from your hotel in the south of Gran Canaria and driven to the best possible observation site, carefully selected each night based on cloud cover, wind conditions, planetary positions, and light pollution.

At Hesperience, we exclusively use extremely large 16’’ aperture telescopes to deliver bright, sharp, high-quality images. To achieve this level of performance, we had to design and build our own telescopes (or key components of them).

Throughout the excursion, you will receive clear explanations about how the telescopes work and the fundamental principles of the Universe. You will also learn the basics of reading the night sky. If you wish, you can even operate the telescope yourself, pointing it at the sky and making your own adjustments.

My name is Gauthier. I am a certified Starlight Astronomy Monitor accredited by the Starlight Foundation and the founder of astroGC. Along with Carmelo, Sebastian, and Toni, we look forward to sharing our expertise and passion for astronomy with you.

For your comfort, pickup is done using a small van or minibus.

Group size: maximum of 8 people for every large telescope.

English and Spanish are spoken.
