About this tour
A tailored tour to your birdwatching wishes.
Skoruvíkurbjarg on Langanes peninsula is one of the very best sites in Iceland to see auks at close range, including the scarce Brünnich’s Guillemot. This place is wonderful for bird photography because you can get so close to the auks. There is an impressive colony of Northern Gannets on a large rock out at sea close to the cliffs called Stóri Karl and the birds are easily photographed from land. Some of the Gannets are even nesting on the mainland.
While driving there we explore birding spots on the beaches and lakes we pass while trying to spot gyrfalcons, ptarmigans or snowbuntings.
