Explore Worldwide’s new tours chase the solar eclipse

Ready for a holiday that’s literally out of this world? In August 2026, the cosmos is serving up a total solar eclipse, and Explore Worldwide is throwing an epic viewing party across Northern Spain and Iceland. Because what pairs better with complete solar obliteration than tapas or a glacier?

These are total eclipse-themed adventures with a side of wow and a dash of science. Whether you're sipping Rioja in the Basque Country or road-tripping through Iceland's volcanic wonderland, you’ll get front-row seats to one of nature’s rarest light shows. And yes, there will be a dedicated solar expert on hand to explain what’s happening in the sky (because let’s be honest, you haven’t googled “umbra” since Year 9 science, and maybe not even then).

Each tour comes with eclipse glasses - so you don’t accidentally blind yourself - and carefully chosen viewing spots. Think al fresco dining in Spain as the sun disappears, or standing in Icelandic wilderness with your jaw on the floor.

Three trips means three unforgettable experiences:

• Spain for the foodies (and romantics who like their eclipses with wine).

• Iceland for the wild souls who think molten lava and total darkness sound like fun.

• Picos de Europa for the hikers who prefer their astronomy at altitude.

Book now and be the kind of person who casually drops, “Oh, I watched the 2026 eclipse from a mountain in Spain” into small talk. You cosmic show-off, you.
