Description
Explore the stunning Snæfellsnes Peninsula on a full-day bus tour from Reykjavík. Visit dramatic coastlines, volcanic formations, and iconic sights before heading to a dedicated eclipse camp.
Begin your day with a morning pickup in Reykjavík and board a comfortable bus for a full-day adventure to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula. This area is known as “Iceland in Miniature” because it has mountains, lava fields, black beaches, cliffs, and glaciers all in one place.
Your guide will tell you simple and interesting stories about the places you visit. Travel through beautiful countryside and enjoy views of the Snæfellsjökull volcano and glacier. You will stop at famous sights such as Arnarstapi’s coastal cliffs, the black-pebble beach at Djúpalónssandur, and other scenic viewpoints along the peninsula.
Take photos, enjoy the fresh air, and explore the amazing landscapes. Next, you will arrive at the special eclipse camp. Here, you will enjoy light snacks and receive your own eclipse glasses. Experts will explain how to watch the eclipse safely and how to take good photos. Then, experience the incredible moment when the sun is covered and everything becomes dark for a short time.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime event you will never forget. After the eclipse, the bus continues through more beautiful areas of Snæfellsnes, with a few extra stops to enjoy the scenery. At the end of the day, relax on the drive back to Reykjavík, arriving in the evening after an unforgettable experience filled with nature, adventure, and the total solar eclipse.
