  • Itinerary

Langanes is a narrow peninsula, situated between Thistilfjordur and Bakkaflói, shaped like a bird with a large head. Langanes has quite a rich birdlife and very good shorebased observation points for watching bird species such as Guillemots (incl. Brünnichs Guillemot), Razorbills, Puffins and Gannets.This area is about as wild as coastal Iceland gets, perfect for exploration off the beaten track. A rough road leads to Fontur, the tip of the peninsula, and along the sides of the road there are the nesting grounds of Purple Sandpipers and Snow Buntings. Out on the peninsula, the cliffs are steep, but fairly accessible and at times in such proximity that the birds are in clear viewing range. The curved shoreline at this point offers a good opportunity for photographers to hone their skills.

– Private transportation and fuel for the duration of the tour
– Private experienced, English-speaking, birdwatching guide for the duration of the tour
– Binoculars

Not included: international flights, domestic transports to/from departure point, food, drinks, anything else not specified as “Included”.

Langanes is a veritable outdoor paradise teeming with birdlife, great for nature studies and some tangible history.

A trip to the outlying peninsula is an unforgettable adventure, where you drive by remains of ancient farms. Below Skoruvík cliffs, there is the rock column known as Stóri (i.e. big) Karl (Charles), which constitutes one of Iceland’s most accessible Gannet colonies. During the so-called puffin season (till mid August), this is a grand site for Puffin observation.

This day programme also gives us the opportunity to explore various places along the route to and from Langanes peninsula such as Tjörnes, Kelduhverfi and Þórshöfn.
