Join us on a unique adventure when the solar eclipse occurs on August 12, 2026. It is believed that the eclipse will be most visible in Iceland, and the Westfjords are the perfect place to experience this natural wonder. We offer a four-hour sailing tour where we will do our best to view the eclipse for as long and as clearly as possible. Onboard, there will be knowledgeable experts in astronomy who will share their insights with passengers. We will sail from the harbor in Ísafjörður out to sea, away from light pollution, to ensure the most exceptional experience possible for our guests.
Iceland is closest to the point where the solar eclipse will be most visible, with that point located just outside the middle of Breiðafjörður. This location will allow the eclipse to be seen for the longest, lasting 2 minutes and 18 seconds. Although the eclipse can be viewed from various places around the country, there are several reasons why the Westfjords stand out. One of the key factors is light pollution; the Westfjords have very little light pollution, and even less when sailing further out into the fjord. This will provide an even better experience for those wishing to witness the eclipse under optimal conditions.The landscape of the Westfjords is also unique, making the sailing journey and the overall experience of the trip even more remarkable.
