2026 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE TOUR

EXPERIENCE THE 2026 TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE IN ICELAND

If Iceland has been on your mind or you’re eager to return, mark August 12, 2026, on your calendar for a truly special event: a total solar eclipse visible in Iceland for the first time since 1954!

On this day, the moon will fully cover the sun, turning day briefly into night – a rare and unforgettable sight. The path of totality crosses key areas like the Westfjords, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and the Reykjanes Peninsula, offering some of the best views in the world. Reykjavík will also experience a total eclipse, though the duration of total darkness there will be about one minute.

The eclipse will begin around 4:47 p.m. local time with a partial phase, reach totality near 5:48 p.m., and end by about 6:47 p.m. The longest totality, lasting over two minutes, will be near the Westfjords and Snæfellsnes Peninsula, close to the point of maximum eclipse just outside Breiðafjörður Bay.

This is a rare chance to witness a total solar eclipse in one of the world’s most stunning settings. So get ready for an incredible celestial show in Iceland on August 12, 2026!

Travellers arrive to the Land of Fire & Ice and make their way to the vibrant heart of Reykjavík! Here, you can either stash your luggage at the fabulous Center Hotel Laugavegur. Please note! Early hotel check-in is not available during summer high season, standard check-in is from 3pm.

Once your luggage is sorted, it’s time for a delightful stroll through the charming streets of downtown Reykjavík. Sip some coffee in one of our cozy cafés, visit the many shops, or take a little city walk and check out the beautiful view of Reykjavík at the top of Hallgrímskirkja church. Just be sure to meet your Viking Women guide back at the hotel around 14:00 because then it’s time to unwind at The Sky Lagoon – where ultimate relaxation meets stunning ocean views!

Then, as the sun sets over the old harbour, indulge in a mouthwatering three-course feast at the delightful Kopar restaurant. It’s the perfect way to savour the flavours of Iceland while soaking in the picturesque surroundings!
