Eclipse Viewing Boat Tour — Faxaflói Bay
Reykjavik, Iceland
About This Activity
Several operators run special eclipse-viewing boat tours departing from Reykjavík's Old Harbor on August 12, 2026. Watching totality from the open water with an unobstructed 360° horizon is an unforgettable experience — and sailing west from the harbor puts you closer to the center line for longer totality than downtown Reykjavík. Tours combine eclipse viewing with whale watching — humpbacks and minke whales frequent the bay in August. Eclipse glasses included. Book well in advance; these tours are selling out fast. Prices from ISK 14,900 per person.
Seasonal note: Special eclipse viewing tours on August 12, 2026 only
