On August 2, 2027, Luxor, Egypt will be the best place on Earth to view a rare solar eclipse with 6 minutes and 23 seconds of totality. If you were an umbraphile - people who chase solar eclipses in search of awe and alignment - you'd already know that the tours and cruises to see this incredible natural phenomena in one of the coolest locations on this planet sold out long ago. However, AzzOzz Travel has unexpectedly located two remaining places at an affordable price on a fabulous Total Eclipse Tour and Nile Cruise. Call or message us ASAP for details!

Brocken Spectre: Richard spotted this rare natural phenomenon over the Pacific Ocean recently, as his plane approached San Francisco to land. This was the third time he had seen it from a plane. His first spotting completely freaked him out, as it took place (many years ago) when he was climbing Mt. Olympus in Washington State. Near the summit, he emerged from the clouds and was stunned to look a mile across the Blue Glacier and see his shadow on a peak, thousands of feet high, completely inside a 'glory' - circular rainbow. Curious to know what it was called, his research led him to naturalist John Muir, who described the phenomenon in his 1912 classic travel guide, The Yosemite.

Best overnight trip ever: Melbourne, Australia, has all the fabulous cuisine, culture, and sports you’d expect from a world-class city. But do you know what lies beyond the city when you head out for the nearby Great Ocean Road? The private luxe excursion we can arrange for you starts in Torquay, Victoria’s surfing and beach worship capital, and famous for Bells Beach and as the birthplace of iconic brands Rip Curl and Quicksilver. Along the way, you can explore the region’s rich maritime history, stopping at historic little towns like Anglesea for some of the best fresh fish and chips you’ll ever find! Next up is a hike through the pristine rainforests of Great Otway National Park, where, among the waterfalls, you might spot Koalas, Kangaroos, Wallabies, or, if you’re really lucky, even a Platypus! A bit further and there you are, in awe of the famous Twelve Apostles, huge rock stacks that rise majestically from the Southern Ocean. We’ll put you on a helicopter ride to see them the best way – from above! At AzzOzz Travel, we know Australia – give us a call or e-mail to schedule an initial discovery conversation!
