To witness a total solar eclipse is perhaps the natural world’s most awesome and dramatic showpiece. The sheer excitement of watching the eclipse move through its various stages, culminating in ‘totality’ when Earth is plunged into darkness and stars become visible, can only really be appreciated first hand. Only a small region of the earth will see a total eclipse, but observers in the nearby regions will see a partial eclipse.

Best viewing positions

Explore have been eclipse chasing for over 10 years now following the event all around the world; running tours to China, Russia, Ghana, Libya, Egypt and many more in recent years. As Explore operate tours in well over a hundred countries, we are able to arrange our eclipse holidays in the best viewing positions on earth. The best locations for the eclipse will be chosen by our specialist team, based on their expert knowledge they take into consideration local cloud cover statistics and locate a great viewing spot, during previous eclipses we have even been able set up camps especially for the occasion.

If you would like to experience this wonder of nature for yourself, Explore are once again running tours to Easter Island to view the July 2010 eclipse. But be warned eclipse chasing can be addictive!
