Experience one of the most extraordinary natural events of a lifetime on this small-group Golden Circle + Reykjanes + Total Solar Eclipse tour from Reykjavík. Your day begins with a scenic drive west from Reykjavík in a comfortable vehicle, with your professional guide leading the way. First, you will explore the highlights of the iconic Golden Circle. Walk among the dramatic landscapes of Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Iceland’s tectonic plates meet. Witness the erupting Strokkur geyser at the Geysir Geothermal Area and marvel at the thundering Gullfoss waterfall, one of Iceland’s most stunning natural wonders. The tour also includes a visit to the striking Kerið volcanic crater, with its vivid red slopes and picturesque lake.

After completing the Golden Circle, your journey continues to the Reykjanes Peninsula, a region of dramatic volcanic landscapes and geothermal activity. Discover recent lava fields, visit iconic landmarks such as Reykjanes Lighthouse, and learn about Iceland’s fascinating geology from your expert guide. The peninsula provides the perfect setting for the main highlight of the day: the total solar eclipse.

At a specially chosen viewing site, a camp will be set up where you can relax and enjoy a light picnic with snacks and nibbles while waiting for the eclipse. You will receive high-quality eclipse glasses to safely view this rare event, which you can keep as a memorable souvenir. Experts will provide guidance on safely observing and photographing the eclipse, ensuring you capture this once-in-a-lifetime experience. As daylight gradually turns into darkness, witness the awe-inspiring moment of totality. For standard bookings, the experience concludes with a celebratory toast after totality. Travelers on AIDAbella or AIDAluna cruises will enjoy the full eclipse experience, though the final toast is omitted to ensure timely return to the ship.

After the eclipse, your guide will lead the group back to Reykjavík, arriving in the evening. Throughout the day, the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure the clearest possible skies for viewing the eclipse, providing a flexible and unforgettable adventure across some of Iceland’s most iconic landscapes.
