Itinerary
Early Morning – Departure from Reykjavík
Your exciting day begins with an early morning departure from Reykjavík. Step aboard our modern, comfortable bus equipped with free Wi-Fi, a restroom, and panoramic windows for enjoying the Icelandic scenery. Our friendly guide will welcome you, explain the day’s plan, and offer fascinating facts about solar eclipses and Iceland’s unique geography.
Morning Drive – Scenic Journey Toward the Path of Totality
We head out on a flexible route tailored to real-time weather data to find the best viewing conditions. The drive will take approximately 1 to 3 hours (or more, depending on traffic). Along the way, you’ll pass lava fields, rugged coastlines, volcanic peaks, and wide open landscapes—so have your camera ready!
Midday – Arrive at Eclipse Viewing Location
We aim to arrive early at our viewing destination to avoid eclipse-day traffic and secure a good spot. This gives everyone time to settle in, enjoy the atmosphere, and prepare their equipment. Our guides will distribute your certified solar eclipse glasses and give a briefing on eclipse safety, camera setups, and the phases of the event.
Early Afternoon – Eclipse Begins
As the moon starts to pass in front of the sun, you’ll notice the light dimming and temperatures dropping. Put on your eclipse glasses and witness the stages of this rare celestial dance. Your guide will alert you when it’s safe to remove the glasses to view the totality with your own eyes.
Total Solar Eclipse – The Main Event
For approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the sky will darken completely, revealing the sun’s breathtaking corona. The atmosphere becomes eerie and magical—an unforgettable moment of awe shared with fellow travelers. Cameras click, hearts race, and nature stands still.
Celebration & Toast
As the sunlight returns, we mark the occasion with a celebratory toast. Choose from sparkling wine or non-alcoholic options as we raise our glasses to this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Photo Time & Relaxation
After the eclipse, take some time to enjoy the surroundings, reflect on the experience, take group photos, and connect with fellow eclipse enthusiasts.
Afternoon Return to Reykjavík
Once everyone is ready, we board the bus for the return journey. Relax and enjoy the scenic ride back to Reykjavík, where you’ll arrive by late afternoon or early evening depending on the chosen location and traffic.
End of Tour – Arrive Back in Reykjavík
You’ll return with your eclipse glasses, great memories, photos, and the feeling of having witnessed something truly rare. Our guides will be available to answer questions and help you wrap up this extraordinary day.
