Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure as we chase the perfect spot to witness the 2026 total solar eclipse. Travel in a Super Jeep with a small group of fellow enthusiasts, enjoying window-side views and dramatic Icelandic landscapes along the way. Our expert guides will navigate rugged terrain and lead you off the beaten path to a secluded viewing location, making this an unforgettable day of exploration, wonder, and celestial beauty.
We offer multiple pick up locations with less than a 10min walk from most accommodations.
Find out where they are.
We start the day with pick-up in Reykjavík before heading out in our specially modified Super Jeeps. These vehicles are designed for adventure and will take us off the beaten track toward remote areas in the eclipse’s path of totality. Along the way, enjoy views of Iceland’s dramatic mountains, 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.
Once we’ve reached the ideal spot, you’ll have time to settle in, set up your camera or binoculars, enjoy your packed food, and prepare for the celestial event. This is the moment to relax and feel the anticipation grow as the eclipse approaches.
• Partial Eclipse begins: 16:44
• Totality begins: 17:45
• Maximum Eclipse: 17:46
• Totality ends: 17:47

As the moon fully covers the sun, the sky will fall into an eerie twilight. Darkness, silence, and awe will take over before cheers and camera clicks break the spell. It’s a short but unforgettable few minutes that will stay with you forever.
After the eclipse, we’ll take time to enjoy the atmosphere, share stories, and have a drink with fellow travelers before heading back toward Reykjavík. The drive home will be filled with reflections on the extraordinary day, returning to the city by late evening.
Food: Please bring enough snacks and meals for the entire day, as we won’t stop for food to avoid traffic.
Weather: Clear skies cannot be guaranteed, but our guides will maximize the experience with flexible planning and scenic exploration.
Equipment: Bring cameras, binoculars, and solar filters for safe and memorable viewing.

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.
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.
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.
