Chase the moon's shadow across Iceland's volcanic tundra on a 12-hour expert-guided journey to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. Iceland's dramatic skies frame totality in a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth.
What to expect
Depart Reykjavík before dawn and travel west along the Snæfellsnes Peninsula — a UNESCO-recognised landscape of glaciers, lava fields and sea cliffs — arriving at a pre-scouted prime viewing site. Your guide explains the science and mythology of eclipses as the moon's shadow approaches. During totality, the Arctic horizon glows with 360-degree sunset colours while the corona blazes overhead. The return journey winds past iconic Icelandic scenery, with the guide available for every question your adrenaline-fuelled mind generates.
Good to know
Snæfellsnes is a ~2.5-hour drive from Reykjavík; confirm exact departure time to ensure you are back well before all-aboard. Pre-book eclipse glasses are included. Weather in Iceland is unpredictable — the operator actively monitors forecasts and adjusts routes. Book direct via re.is as early as possible.
