What to expect
On August 12th, 2026, at precisely 16:47, Iceland will experience a once-in-a-lifetime event – a total solar eclipse. For the first time since 1954, the path of the total eclipse will center over Iceland, with the western Snæfellsnes Peninsula affording perhaps the best chance to witness this rare celestial harmony. The whole eclipse will take two hours, with peak totality at 17:48.
Join a tour from Reykjavik to witness this rare celestial event. The itinerary is loose by design, allowing you to seek out cloud-free skies while also taking in some of the spectacular natural scenery that this region offers.
Highlights could include Mt. Kirkjufell, Arnarstapi, Djúpalónnsandur Black Sand Beach, Saxhóll Crater, and much more besides. But the main objective will, of course, remain the eclipse itself.
