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.

Itinerary
Morning – Departure from Reykjavík
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.

Midday – Scenic Drive & Flexible Planning
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.

Afternoon – Arrival at Viewing Location
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.

The Eclipse – A Once-in-a-Lifetime Moment

  • Partial Eclipse begins: 16:44
  • Totality begins: 17:45
  • Maximum Eclipse: 17:46
  • Totality ends: 17:47
  • Partial Eclipse ends: 18:46

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.

Evening – Return to Reykjavík
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.
