Total Solar Eclipse Tour on Snæfellsnes Peninsula

This 12-hour guided tour takes you to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula to experience a total solar eclipse in one of Iceland's most extraordinary natural settings. With over two minutes of totality, Snæfellsnes offers the longest and most complete eclipse viewing opportunity in Iceland, set against a backdrop of glacier-capped volcanoes, ancient lava fields, black sand beaches, and dramatic coastal cliffs.

Your experienced local guide will adapt the day's itinerary in real time, exploring locations across the peninsula based on weather forecasts, traffic, and accessibility. The tour begins on the northern side of Snæfellsnes, with stops adjusted throughout the day to make the most of the surroundings and conditions.

The centrepiece of the experience is a visit to a private Icelandic horse farm, where you are welcomed with celebratory drinks — both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. From this calm rural setting, you can follow the full arc of the eclipse: from the opening partial phase, through totality, to the gradual return of daylight. As the moon crosses the sun, daylight softens into an otherworldly twilight, creating a deeply moving shared moment.

Between eclipse phases, guests are welcome to relax, explore the farm grounds, and spend time with Icelandic horses and other farm animals. After the eclipse, a home-cooked dinner prepared with local Icelandic products is served at the farm.

Please note: the solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon and visibility depends on weather conditions. If cloud cover prevents viewing, the tour will still operate as planned and no refund will be issued. If conditions make the tour unsafe to run, it will be cancelled and a full refund provided.
