Your tour starts at the meeting point at Ytra Lon Farm & Retreat in the heart of the Langanes peninsula in Northeast Iceland.

Here, you will meet your expert English-speaking guide and the other guests on the tour. When you're ready, you'll climb aboard a comfortable jeep, and your driver will take you to Skoruvik.

Skoruvik is known for its scenic landscapes and natural beauty. It offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. Skoruvik is relatively remote, making it an excellent spot to experience Iceland's rugged and untouched nature.

Wildlife is abundant, and birdwatchers often visit to observe various bird species, including puffins, guillemots, razorbills, and northern gannets who lay their eggs here.

Skoruvik provides a serene escape from busier tourist spots, showcasing Iceland's tranquil and pristine wilderness.

Your first stop is at a puffin breeding ground. Here, a viewing platform extends 33 feet (10 meters) from the edge of the cliff. You'll get spectacular views over Stori Karl rock and the northern gannet colony.

Budding photographers can take fantastic shots of the birds from here. Consider bringing binoculars for an even better view.

Next, you'll visit Skalar. Skalar is a deserted settlement on Iceland's northeastern coast. It once thrived as a small fishing community but was abandoned in the mid-20th century.

Today, it is a ghost village, with remnants of buildings and structures that hint at its past life. The area around Skalar offers rugged landscapes, dramatic coastal views, and a sense of isolation.

It's a unique destination for those looking to explore off-the-beaten-path sites and experience the solitude of Iceland's wild nature. You can explore the ruins and the old harbor and see the grazing sheep.

Your guide will explain why this village was abandoned and what life was like here.

Be sure to wear warm, waterproof clothing layers and good hiking shoes. The weather can be changeable in Iceland, and these will keep you warm and dry while you explore.

At the end of the tour, you'll be driven back to the meeting point, ready to continue your adventures in Iceland or head home.
