Itinerary

This tour highlights Iceland's natural wonders, cultral gems, and the rare Solar Eclipse, with an Eclipse boat tour. 

­ 

This tour offers a remarkable journey through Iceland’s stunning natural wonders, rich cultural heritage, and exceptional culinary experiences, all centered around the rare and captivating Solar Eclipse. Designed to accommodate groups while maintaining a personalized touch, this tour highlights Reykjavík’s vibrant charm, the iconic Golden Circle, and Iceland’s awe-inspiring landscapes. For an extraordinary perspective, participants can enhance their experience with a unique boat tour, providing a breathtaking view of the Solar Eclipse and creating memories to share with fellow travelers.


Solar Eclipse Day

The Solar Eclipse is the highlight of this journey. As the moon passes in front of the sun, the sky transforms into a breathtaking celestial display. Witness this extraordinary event aboard  a spacious boat designed for comfort, on a 3 to 3.5-hour tour across the  waters of Faxaflói Bay. This unique vantage point offers an immersive and unforgettable experience, creating lasting memories of one of nature’s most rare and awe-inspiring events.


*While this tour is designed to offer the best possible viewing experience, please note that clear skies cannot be guaranteed for Solar Eclipse Day. Like the northern lights, this rare celestial event depends on natural conditions beyond our control. Every effort will be made to provide an unforgettable experience, whether on land or water. Itineraries may be adjusted accordingly.
