Private Iceland Solar Eclipse Snæfellsnes Tour

Description

About the tour

Experience the 2026 Solar Eclipse in Style

Gather your friends, family, or photography team and join this exclusive Super Jeep expedition to witness the total solar eclipse from Iceland’s breathtaking west coast.

On August 12, 2026, the path of totality crosses the Snæfellsnes Peninsula — offering some of the longest and most dramatic eclipse conditions in Iceland. Surrounded by glacier-capped volcanoes, black beaches, and vast ocean views, it’s the ultimate setting for this celestial event.

The Adventure

This flexible, expert-led tour gives your group the highest chance of clear skies. With live satellite data and years of local experience from Northern Lights expeditions, your guides make route decisions in real time — chasing the best visibility wherever it appears. Your vehicle is a custom-modified Super Jeep, built for comfort and off-road power, ensuring you can reach hidden coastal cliffs and mountain passes that other tours simply can’t access.

Viewing Locations – Always the Best Spot

The Snæfellsnes Peninsula sits directly beneath the path of totality and offers the longest duration of darkness in Iceland — just over two full minutes. This area is a natural wonder in itself, with a glacier-topped volcano, dramatic cliffs, black-sand beaches, and sweeping lava fields. Its location also makes it ideal for a comfortable day trip from Reykjavík.

If the Weather Changes – We Adapt Instantly

Iceland’s weather can be unpredictable, but that’s part of the adventure! If cloud cover threatens Snæfellsnes, we’ll adjust our route in real time and head toward clearer skies.

Possible alternate viewing areas include:

• Reykjanes Peninsula – open ocean horizons and nearly two minutes of totality.
• West Iceland (Borgarnes or Akranes) – stunning coastal viewpoints with around one minute of totality.

With our local expertise and live satellite tracking, we’ll guide you to the best possible conditions — ensuring you experience the eclipse in its full glory, wherever the clear skies lead us.
