Departing from Reykjavík, journey through volcanoes, lava fields, and coastlines toward the best viewing location, chosen based on real-time weather and cloud tracking. Witness the total solar eclipse in one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes, as daylight fades and the sun’s glowing corona appears.

Your adventure starts with pick-up in Reykjavík. Once everyone is on board, we drive toward Iceland’s scenic countryside. Relax and enjoy the views through wide windows as we pass volcanoes, lava fields, and rugged coastlines.
Our guides monitor weather and cloud conditions along the way. This keeps the plan flexible to ensure the best viewing spot. Along the drive, you can take in Iceland’s stunning scenery, making the journey itself a highlight.
At the chosen location, you’ll have time to set up your camera, enjoy snacks, and prepare for the main event. As the partial eclipse begins, excitement grows. During totality, darkness falls and the sun’s corona appears—a brief, awe-inspiring moment you won’t forget.

When the moon fully covers the sun, the sky turns to twilight. Silence and awe take over before cheers and camera clicks break the spell. It’s a short but unforgettable experience that will stay with you forever.
