Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure combining Iceland’s legendary natural beauty with a rare celestial spectacle — the total solar eclipse of August 12, 2026. The Snæfellsnes Peninsula, perfectly situated in the path of totality, offers one of the best viewing locations on Earth. Experience the awe-inspiring moment when day turns to twilight between 16:45 and 18:46, surrounded by some of Iceland’s most breathtaking scenery.
Your private luxury Jeep tour begins with a convenient pick-up from your Reykjavík hotel, followed by a scenic drive north through the underwater tunnel to Akranes. After a short stop in Borgarnes to enjoy local pastries and coffee, we continue west toward Ytri Tunga, a golden-sand cove famous for its seal colonies that can often be seen lounging on the rocks near the shore.
Continuing west, we arrive at Arnarstapi, a charming fishing village nestled at the foot of the glacier-capped Snæfellsjökull volcano, made famous by Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earth. Here, you’ll have time to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque cliffs, where dramatic rock formations and sea arches host a variety of nesting seabirds during summer.
Our journey continues toward the northern side of the peninsula, where we stop at Kirkjufell, one of Iceland’s most photographed mountains. Its unique cone shape and the nearby Kirkjufellsfoss waterfall offer perfect photo opportunities and an unforgettable view of the Icelandic landscape.
As the afternoon turns to evening, we’ll take you to a secluded viewing spot chosen especially for the total solar eclipse. Witness the extraordinary moment when the moon completely covers the sun and daylight fades into an ethereal twilight — an experience that words can scarcely describe.
After an unforgettable day exploring “Iceland in Miniature” and witnessing one of nature’s rarest phenomena, we’ll drive you comfortably back to your hotel in Reykjavík.
This exclusive private tour offers the perfect blend of luxury, discovery, and cosmic wonder — an unparalleled opportunity to experience both the magic of Snæfellsnes and the grandeur of the 2026 total solar eclipse.
