Total solar eclipse
The sky goes dark on August 2, 2027. Be in the right place.
A total solar eclipse crosses from Spain to Somalia next summer, with totality lasting up to about six minutes. TripProof is lining up trusted local tripproofers along the path to help you plan it.
Register your interestWhy it takes planning
Totality only happens along a narrow path, and a few kilometers can mean the difference between a full eclipse and a partial one. Hotels along the path fill early. The best viewing spots depend on weather patterns, horizon views and crowds. Local knowledge decides which of those spots actually works on the day.
What a local guide helps with
Where to stay
Hotels and areas inside the path of totality, booked before they sell out.
Where to watch
Spots with a clear horizon, good odds of clear skies and room to spread out.
How to prepare
Certified eclipse glasses, timing, transport on the day and a backup plan if clouds roll in.
The rest of the trip
Local culture, food and sights around the eclipse, so the trip is more than six minutes.
