Langanes is a narrow peninsula between Þistilfjordur and Bakkafloi shaped like a goose with a very large head. This area is about as wild as coastal Iceland gets, perfect for exploring off the beaten track. A rough road goes to the tip named Fontur. On the north and south of the tip there are steep sea cliffs, Skoruvikurbjarg and Skalavikurbjarg. The Langanes peninsula is known for its rich birdlife, and very good birdwatching spots where it is possible to watch the Gannet and Brünnichs Guillermot from land. On this tour we take you to abandoned farms and tell you stories about shipwreck, the village Skálar that was abandoned in the 1950s, birdlife, farmlife and other curiousities.
Bring warm clothes, hiking boots, a hat and gloves. We will make a pick nick stop so take something to eat with you.
