Welcome to Explorers Astronomy Tours

We have been providing guided trips to see total solar eclipses for over 25 years and are one of the most experienced tour operators in our field. Not only do we build a fascinating choice of itineraries around each total solar eclipse, but we meticulously research the solar eclipse itself, making use of astronomy experts and scientific data to make sure we have the best chance of the perfect eclipse observation.
