Reykjavik - Arnarstapi - Borgarnes. This morning we depart Reykjavik and drive to Arnarstapi, a remote coastal village jutting out of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland, right along the eclipse axis. At around 16:00 we will head out with our guide, finding ...
Borgarnes - Godafoss - Lake Myvatn. Our first stop today is Godafoss, one of the most spectacular waterfalls in Iceland (and there is a lot of competition!). Next, we take in the pseudo-craters of Skutustadir. These non-volcanic vents were created by gas explosions ar...

Hofn - Jokulsarlon Lagoon - Skogafoss - Seljalandsfoss - Hella. Our first stop today is at Jokulsarlon, a glacial lagoon filled with floating icebergs. A boat tour between the bergs is included in the program, and you can also keep your eyes peeled for seals on the fl...
