Itinerary

Morningpick-up in Reykjavík

Your adventure begins with pick-up in Reykjavík. Once everyone is on board, we head out toward Iceland’s scenic countryside. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the views through wide windows as we drive past volcanoes, lava fields, and rugged coastlines.

Our guides will track weather and cloud conditions throughout the journey, keeping the plan flexible to ensure the best possible viewing location. While driving, there will be opportunities to take in Iceland’s stunning natural scenery, making the journey itself a highlight of the day.

AfternoonArrival at Viewing Location

Once we reach the chosen spot, you’ll have time to set up your camera, enjoy some snacks, and prepare for the highlight of the day. As the partial phase begins, excitement builds until the sky suddenly transforms during totality. For a brief, unforgettable moment, darkness falls and the sun’s corona reveals itself—an awe-inspiring sight you’ll never forget.

FAQ

What is the weather going to be like?

In Iceland, there is no guarantee of the same kind of weather will be the whole day, even though there is beautiful morning during the pick-up in Reykjavík. Keep in mind that the weather can change very suddenly and you might just experience all four seasons in one day. So be well-prepared and bring plenty of layers.

What should I wear?

Iceland is known for colourful weather and even in our short hike we could experience all 4 seasons.

It is a bit of a challenge to dress up for this sort of weather. We always recommend dressing in layers. 3 upper layers are highly recommended such as a light t-shirt (preferably wool) next to the skin, then a fleece or heavy wool garment, topped off with a waterproof windbreaker.

Lightweight hiking pants, track pants or long cotton pants are best and then wind/waterproof pants over. Jeans are not recommended for hiking as they become very heavy, cold and uncomfortable to wear when they get wet.

Sturdy hiking boots are highly recommended although good sneakers are good enough for this rather comfortable and short hike.

Do I need some insurance before going on this trip?

Travel insurance is always a good idea. We recommend that you have personal health insurance coverage when participating in any adventure activities in Iceland, as you would when travelling anywhere in the world.
