Experience

Our African Eclipse Sun Safari Another Successful Tour

We have been serving travelers since 1970. Continental Capers Travel Center, Inc., has been creating unique itineraries for our clients for more than 35 years. We pride ourselves on offering meaningful travel experiences that enrich the lives of our travelers.

For the last ten years we have also offered a limited set of specialized nature oriented tours. These "Voyages of Discovery" tours often relate to astronomy, especially eclipses of the Sun although we have done others. (Examples: The 2004 Transit of Venus and a meticulous crafted astronomy, geology and archaeology excursion of Arizona in 2005.)

Although these journeys are often based around a singular event (as a solar eclipse), we orchestrate our tours to give you a memorable and unique experience based on our entire sightseeing itinerary.

These tours utilize the special talents of Marian Cohen, who has over twenty-five years experience in the travel industry and her husband, Dr. Howard L. Cohen, who was a professor of astronomy at the University of Florida for over 35 years and is a founding member of the Alachua Astronomy Club, Inc. (See escorts for more details).

The Best Guides

We also partner with the best tour companies that specialize in the regions we visit. This allows us to provide exceptional quality, unbeatable value and personal service to every passenger on our tours.

Limited Group Size and Professional Escorts

Small Groups, Personal Service

Personal service is our game. We intentionally limit the total number of guests on our tours to small groups (about 30 or less). So, every guest has full access to our professional staff escorting each trip.

This includes a trained Continental Capers professional, the services of a scientific escort and local professional guides.

Finest Accommodations

Accommodations to Suit Your Needs

We choose the finest hotels, resorts, lodges and tours available that combine comfortable accommodations with good value. And our carefully planned itineraries go beyond the often humdrum to make each of our trips a unique, exciting and adventurous journey.

Our tours "exceed expectations," so our guests tell us!
