About this tour

Come with us and embark on an unforgettable adventure to witness the total solar eclipse in one of Iceland’s most remarkable landscapes.

Throughout the day, we will explore as many locations around the Snæfellsnes Peninsula as conditions allow, adapting our itinerary in real time based on traffic, weather and overall accessibility. Flexibility is essential on a day like this, and our experienced local guides will continuously adjust plans to make the most of the surroundings.

With over two minutes of totality, Snæfellsnes offers the longest and most complete eclipse experience in Iceland. Set against a backdrop of glacier-capped volcanoes, lava fields, black sand beaches and dramatic cliffs, the peninsula provides an extraordinary setting for this rare event.

The highlight of the experience takes place at a private horse farm, where guests are welcomed with drinks. From this peaceful rural setting, the entire eclipse timeline can be followed: from the first partial phase at 16:44, through totality between 17:45 and 17:47, to the return of daylight at 18:46. As the moon moves across the sun, daylight gradually softens into an otherworldly twilight, creating a brief yet deeply moving moment of shared awe.

For those who wish to do more than simply wait for the sky to change, the farm also offers time to relax, explore the surroundings, and interact with Icelandic horses and other farm animals, adding a distinctly local and memorable dimension to the experience.

After the eclipse, a dinner will be prepared with local Icelandic products.

This thoughtful combination of flexibility, local knowledge and a calm private location creates a truly immersive way to experience one of nature’s rarest spectacles in Iceland.

• The 10:00 AM departure (pickup starting at 09:30) is now fully SOLD OUT , and guests on this departure will enjoy lunch upon arrival at the farm.

• The newly added 11:00 AM departure (pickup starting at 10:30) will enjoy the home-cooked meal as dinner at the end of the experience.
