Highlights
Witness a celestial spectacle on an exclusive tour designed for the August 2026 total solar eclipse. The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is perfectly situated in the path of totality, offering one of the best viewing locations in the world. Our tour will take you to a prime, secluded spot to experience the awe-inspiring moment when day turns into twilight, between 17:45 and 18:45. In addition to this once-in-a-lifetime event, you will explore the very best of "Miniature Iceland." Highlights include the volcanic basalt columns of Gerðuberg, the bird cliffs at Arnarstapi, and a chance to spot seals on Ytri Tunga beach. You'll also visit the stunning black sand beach of Djúpalónssandur and the iconic Kirkjufell mountain. The entire journey is framed by the majestic Snæfellsjökull glacier. This is more than a tour; it’s an unforgettable experience combining the wonders of the cosmos with Iceland's most magnificent landscapes.

Visit Ytri Tunga Beach, a hidden gem known for its resident seal colonies. Observe these playful creatures in their natural habitat and capture memorable photos.
You will visit this charming fishing village and admire the unusual sea rock formations with a lot of bird life.
Lunch in a local restaurant - the best place in the whole of Iceland to try the lamb soup!
The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is often called ‘Miniature Iceland’ as basically every type of natural feature that makes the country famous can be found here, including waterfalls, glaciers, volcanoes, lava fields, cliffs and wildlife.
Kirkjufellfoss is located by the Kirkjufell mountain (it is the same stop).
At Djupalonssandur beach (may not be accessible in winter) we will allow those who feel up to it to try strength with the Stones of Trial.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavik is the northernmost capital of any nation, a colourful, compact city of art and music that opens onto Iceland's volcanic landscapes.
The landmark Hallgrímskirkja church, its tower inspired by basalt columns, rises above streets of brightly painted houses. Down by the harbour, the glass-fronted Harpa concert hall shimmers on the water, and the Sun Voyager sculpture faces the sea toward Mount Esja. Laugavegur, the main shopping street, is lined with design shops, cafés and bars.
Top-ranked sights in Reykjavik: Thingvellir National Park, Gullfoss, Harpa.
