Iceland Total Eclipse 2026 Adventure by Super Jeep

The Total Solar Eclipse in Iceland 2026 is estimated to last around 2 minutes of totality — the brief period when the Moon fully blocks the Sun. The entire event, from the first partial contact to the end, is expected to last just over 2 hours, starting at around 16:42 GMT and ending is estimated at 18:49 GMT.

The 2026 total solar eclipse will be visible in full from Iceland’s western regions, including the Reykjanes Peninsula, Snæfellsnes Peninsula, and parts of the Westfjords. These areas lie directly in the path of totality, meaning the Sun will be completely covered by the Moon for an estimated 2 minutes and 13 seconds, depending on exact location and weather conditions.

The solar eclipse in Iceland will take place on August 12, 2026, during the late afternoon and early evening hours.

The eclipse is estimated to begin at 16:42 GMT, with totality expected around 17:48 GMT, and the event will end at around 18:49 GMT. Exact timing may vary especially for the peak moment of totality.

A Super Jeep is a specially modified vehicle built to take on Iceland’s roughest terrain with ease. Equipped with oversized 38" to 50" tires and a robust suspension system, these vehicles are engineered for comfort, capability, and safety on gravel roads, lava fields, snow-covered trails, and highland crossings. Super Jeeps are essential for reaching remote areas that standard vehicles simply can’t access.

Our Super Jeeps seat 10 to 18 passengers, making them ideal for small group adventures including the 2026 Solar Eclipse tour. With raised seating, large windows, and a smooth ride across rough terrain, you’ll enjoy both comfort and clear views as we head off the beaten path to find the best location for this astronomical event.

Due to traffic restrictions in the city center, your pickup location may not be directly in front of your hotel or accommodation but rather the closest bus stop. 

It’s important that you provide the complete address of your accommodation when booking your tour and our convenient system will provide you with the closest pick-up location if direct pickup is not possible at your accommodation. 

A good example is Hótel Óðinsvé where you’ll be guided to Bus Stop 8 at Hallgrímskirkja. To make it easy to find we’ve put together locations of all city center bus stops.

All our vehicles are easily recognizable, displaying the distinctive Snæland Travel logo and a sign in the window with the tour name.
