August, 2026: Solar Eclipse

Iceland or Spain | August, 2026

NOW ACCEPTING RESERVATIONS!

August 12, 2026.  Both Iceland and Spain will experience a total solar eclipse!  We are delighted to announce that we are operating two tours, one to Iceland and one to Spain.  Explore Iceland with Sirius Travel and you will enjoy access to our astronomer and geologist guides. These guides bring their knowledge of solar eclipses and the amazing geology of Iceland to enhance your enjoyment on a well-tested itinerary refined over 5 years of leading annual Northern Lights tours. Travel with our astronomers to sun-drenched Mallorca in Spain and enjoy the rich heritage and natural beauty of that island and view the eclipse as it sets in the west, falling off the limb of the Earth.  The itineraries for both tours have been carefully planned to maximize your chances to view the solar eclipse given historical conditions.
