Passionate about the cosmos
We are a team of certified Starlight guides, astronomers and night sky enthusiasts dedicated to offering the best astrotourism experiences in La Palma, the Star Island.
Our mission
At Ad Astra La Palma we believe that the night sky is a heritage of humanity that must be shared, protected and celebrated. Our mission is to connect people with the universe through unique, accessible and memorable astronomical experiences.
La Palma, world-renowned as the Star Island, is home to one of the best skies in the world for astronomy. With the Starlight Reserve, the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory and hundreds of clear nights per year, this island is the perfect place to look up and be amazed.
Our philosophy is simple: ad astra — to the stars. We'll take you there.
