2026 Eclipse trip to Mallorca, Spain
Mallorca, Spain | August, 10-16, 2026
View a total solar eclipse from the island of Mallorca (Majorca), Spain on August 12, 2026! We lead groups with a low ratio of passengers to guides and our guides are all astronomers/scientists. For this trip we selected Mallorca, Spain because it is both beautiful and optimizes our chances of clear viewing based on historical weather data for this date. We are staying in luxury hotels on Playa de Palma within the line of totality and will be viewing the eclipse from the deck of a catamaran on the Mediterranean Sea. In the days surrounding the eclipse, we will be visiting the city of Palma, the Caves of Drach, and enjoying wine tasting and a traditional Mallorcan meal at a local winery.
You get your ticket to Mallorca and we will take care of the rest!
