Eclipse Travel Reviews 

At every step along our journey we were supported. There were no unexpected surprises, we alsways felt safe and the arrangements made for an efficient and enjoyable time. The knowledge and backup of Eclipse staff and their organisation of all our needs meant our time was happily spent enjoying the experience, not losing sleep over details.

Seamless and stress-free traveling.
All the guides and drivers were warm, and accommodating. Safety was always prioritized. Even with unexpected schedule changes due to local issues, they were able to give us a good experience.

A great holiday, everything was excellent.
All arrangements made (itinerary, hotels, tours, transfers) were of a very high standard.

From the day we left, to the day of our return from our African trip, this was an exceptional experience. Ours was a private tour to accommodate some mobility issues and the meticulous planning from Eclipse ensured that all of our needs were catered for without fuss. Our accommodation was more than comfortable and all of our pickups, transfers and internal flights plus our individual guides were excellent. We would highly recommend the services of Eclipse Travel, especially for their expertise in arranging African, Antarctic and South American trips, but really for any travel needs.

My recent trip to South America which was organized by Meike from Eclipse Travel was excellent. I was originally going to travel with my husband, but it ended up that I was a solo 66 year old female traveler. I must admit to feeling nervous about this venture on my own but I was determined to go. I was not disappointed and have returned home with many treasured memories. Apart from visiting some fascinating countries the itinerary and standard of accommodation were excellent. There were numerous transfers and flights which all unfolded as scheduled and everything was remarkably well coordinated. I did the Hummingbird small group tour for the first 3 weeks, then spent another 2 weeks travelling alone incorporating the Amazon jungle and the Galapagos Islands. The only part of the trip I did not really enjoy was being alone in the old city of Quito due to feeling unsafe. However, I was able to organize a local guided walking tour as well as a taxi to take me out into the country areas and I returned safely each day to my hotel. The Galapagos Islands tour was at the end of my 5 week trip and the highlight (as Meike suggested it might be). The group tour was however excellent and our guide Adrian from Journey Latin America was outstanding.

Matt and the team were excellent. We were well informed and taken care of throughout the entire booking process. Could not recommend more highly.

I believe it could have been better if we spent more time exploring the islands and waterways rather than listening to the guide who was very good, but spent too long time telling us about where we were and the flora and fauna rather then letting us explore where we were for longer. The guide could have used the nights before the activities to tell us about the flora, fauna and geology of what we were doing the next day. That would have meant that we could have had more time to explore when we got to the land or to snorkel or swim.

This was our second trip with Eclipse Travel. A wonderful itinerary created for us. The ground operators employed by Eclipse were second to none! Everything went like clockwork. Majority of the accommodations were good and fit in with the level of comfort requested. Only one complaint and that was the date arranged for our tour of the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls - Easter Sunday - not good! Enormous crowds and crush, which spoilt the day for us. This could easily have been avoided by our arranger holding off until the Monday, which was not a public holiday and therefore no crowds. Overall, a fabulous trip and highly recommend Eclipse.

We recently returned from an incredible trip to South America, including unforgettable stops at Machu Picchu and the Galápagos Islands. Everything was perfectly organised with the help of Eclipse Travel. From start to finish, they were an absolute pleasure to work with.
They were incredibly responsive to all our enquiries, promptly answering emails and making thoughtful suggestions along the way. They helped to customis original itinerary to suit our interests and needs, and took care of every detail, including booking all our flights, trains and transfers, Machu Picchu tickets and hotels which made the whole experience completely stress-free.
Thanks to their expert planning and support, everything ran smoothly and we could just focus on enjoying the journey. We highly recommend Eclipse Travel to anyone planning a South American adventure. The team made every part of the trip seamless and memorable.

I recently returned from an incredible solo trip to Zimbabwe and Botswana. Being my fist time to Africa I was a bit apprehensive. Luke from Eclipse Travel was very friendly and helpful, and put together a fantastic itinerary inclusive of flights, accommodation, transfers, tours, safaris, National Park fees and most meals. The whole trip was stress free and seamless. The standard of accommodation, tours and local partners was excellent. I was looking for a boutique, uncrowded and memorable experience, and that is exactly what I got. Thank you, Luke and the Eclipse Travel team for curating a trip of a lifetime!

Everything that was planned worked seamlessly on our trip to Sacred Valley & Machu Picchu. Also flight arrangements and tour guides very informative and social

Extremely well organised 6 weeks holiday to Sth America. We had booked many transfers, private and shared tours as well as 10 internal flights between 4 countries. The trip went exactly as planned, all transfers and tours turned up on time, everything went very smoothly. Many thanks to Blake who organised our whole holiday, thank you for your patience and expertise in always communicating with us about our bookings.

We booked our South American holiday through Eclipse Travel; the consultant was Daniel. The itinerary fitted perfectly for the places we wanted to visit and the dates we had chosen. From Santiago, Rio, Iguazu, Buenos Aires and Peru on multiple flights, everything worked seamlessly. Only one hitch due to a national strike in Argentina, Eclipse were able to reorganise flights and accommodation with a days' notice. Big shout out to all of tour guides and transfer operators as well. Would highly recommend to anyone considering travel to this spectacular continent.

Blake constructed a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru and Ecuador taking in Macchu Picchu, Ecuadorian Napo River and the Galapogas Islands. Multiple flights and transfers were seemless and Blake's advice about the right GI boat and itinerary was fantastic. I highly recommend Eclipse and Blake in particular. He tolerated 4 of us negotiating different needs and interests and provided accurate and well informed advice. The planning and the assistance provided made a complex trip hassle free and allowed us to simply enjoy the experience. Thank you!

the company supplied my dream holiday and booking was straight forward. The only problem I had was at the end of the holiday when the transfer at Auckland was not sufficiently long enough to allow my luggage to be transferred from one flight to the next so when I arrived at my final destination my luggage was still in Auckland.

Excellent Trip, Eclipse organised a custom South America itinerary for us so we could meet up with a cruise. All arrangements worked out perfectly, including some specific suggestions made by our consultant, including the bus trip over the Andes mountains.

we got a fantastic antartica cruise deal with eclipse travel, better than we could find anywhere else

Antarctica has been on my bucket list forever. I thought I could do all the bookings myself, however I found navigating through the enormous amount of information and choices available made my head spin. I decided, after searching online, to contact Eclipse Travel and it was the best decision I could have made. Daniel was the best. He was professional yet friendly. Right from the initial contact, he listened to me and was very patient, and took the time to understand my travel preferences and needs. He gave me feedback and was very knowledgeable about Antarctica and provided excellent recommendations. His communications were prompt and detailed throughout the whole process of planning and booking the trip. All information was clear and all questions answered in a most efficient and courteous way. It was a major disappointment when I could not continue with my planned trip.
My dealings with Daniel and Eclipse were exceptional. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend their services to anyone wishing to book their adventure. I certainly will, and hopefully in the not-too-distant future. Thank you Daniel for everything!

Amazing places, good accommodation and all pickups punctual

Organisation of trip was amazing where nothing went wrong! There was always someone meeting you to go on a tour or to be picked up from airport , trains etc! Could not fault them!
