Eclipse Travel Expands Operations to New Zealand

Eclipse Travel, specialists in key adventure destinations such as Antarctica, the Arctic, Africa and Latin America, have announced today their expansion of operations to New Zealand.

Prior to starting Eclipse Travel in Australia in 2012, McMillan held positions at various specialist travel companies in both Australia and the UK where he developed an extensive knowledge of Latin America and Africa. Farquhar had extensive experience in the financial markets before he combined his love for travel and adventure with helping others achieve their travel dreams and joined the travel industry.
