Academic Group Travel – 2023 Hybrid Solar Eclipse in Exmouth
Terra Nova Tours have had groups of academics, including scientists, astronomers, and researchers, who sought to witness the rare hybrid solar eclipse in Exmouth, Western Australia. This once-in-a-lifetime event, visible only from Western Australia, provided the perfect opportunity for the group to merge their scientific interests with a truly unique experience.
The logistics of organizing this trip were particularly challenging due to Exmouth’s small size and the tens of thousands of visitors expected. The town’s limited infrastructure required detailed planning and coordination to accommodate both the academic group’s specific needs and the influx of tourists. These included guides, access to viewing locations, and educational opportunities to enhance the group’s scientific understanding of the event.
Over the course of four years, Terra Nova Tours worked closely with local authorities, scientists, and suppliers to ensure everything was in place. Our solutions included advanced logistical coordination, customised academic experiences and cultural enrichment through local experts. The trip was a resounding success, providing the academics with an enriching and seamless experience, while overcoming the logistical challenges of such a large-scale event in a small town.

Terra Nova Tours is also proud to have provided specialised services for the DFB-Fanclub (German Football Association Fan Club), catering to over 150 passengers attending the FIFA Women’s World Cup. As part of this group, we organised all aspects of their travel, including accommodations, transportation, and exclusive fan experiences.
Our team ensured that the group had an unforgettable experience, with tailored itineraries that included match tickets and organised fan meet-ups. We worked closely with our partner and local suppliers to guarantee the group’s seamless participation in the event, fostering a sense of community and excitement around the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
By managing the logistics for such a large and enthusiastic group, Terra Nova Tours demonstrated its ability to handle high-demand, group-specific travel needs, ensuring a memorable and well-executed experience for all participants.

The mission successfully strengthened trade ties and achieved its objectives, with the client highly satisfied with our detail-oriented and professional service. Terra Nova Tours consistently delivers secure, efficient, and successful outcomes for government delegations.
Luxurious Incentive Travel Experiences
Terra Nova Tours has extensive experience in organising luxurious incentive trips tailored to meet the highest standards. For a Swiss client, we curated a bespoke itinerary for 10 VIP partners, combining luxury accommodations (some of them as exclusive use), private aircraft travel and exclusive events. The trip included unique visits to cattle farms, private tours with local industry experts and exclusive yacht excursions.
Our team ensured every detail was meticulously planned, from chartering small aircraft to managing special activities that provided an unforgettable experience for the clients. The luxury and exclusivity of the trip were emphasized by our close attention to logistics and personalised service.
The incentive trip was a resounding success, leaving the client and their partners extremely satisfied with the experience. Terra Nova Tours continues to deliver unforgettable, high-end travel experiences, ensuring every aspect of the journey exceeds expectations.
