About this experience

Fishing in the Lake Langisjór

Fishing licenses in Langisjór are sold from Hólaskjól Highland Center. The fishing right is valid for Langisjór lake and other lakes in mountains Fögrufjöll, total in 9 lakes. Fishing day costs 5.000 ISK per license. It is free for 15 years and younger. The fish in the lakes is char. The fishing license is valid 24 hours from arrival to the lake.

Most common is to fish at the peninsula where the cabin is placed and the south end of the lake. For fishers that are ready for hike the north side of the lake along with Breiðbak is normally good for fishing.

Good places are at the north end of the Lake. Getting there is at least one hour drive on a track that follows the mountain range Breiðbakur. A 4x4 car with good ground clearance is needed for that tour. All the Lakes in the mountains Fögrufjöll are also interesting but demanding as going there requires hiking.

Our tour guide Guffi gave us an absolutely fantastic experience. The weather didn’t look very promising at first, but Guffi was determined and kept searching for the northern lights. Thanks to his persistence, we were rewarded with an incredible display, which we got to enjoy while sipping hot chocolate under the Arctic sky. It was my last night in Iceland and I couldn’t have chosen a better way to end my trip. The photos came out great too. I highly recommend!!!

We had a fantastic tour on our first night in Iceland! Guffi picked us up and provided us with excellent information on the history of Iceland and Reykjavik. Then we found the northern lights and had amazing photographs for over 2 hours! Great hot chocolate and lava snacks!! Guffi was extremely friendly and a great tour guide! Would highly recommend over bigger group tours!

Great night out with Guffi chasing the northern lights. Cloud was a challenge but he didn’t give up and we were rewarded with some spectacular sights. The hot chocolate and snacks were a welcome treat and he was great company and so good to see a person so passionate about their country’s history and geography. He took so many great photos for us too. Would highly recommend.

I went on a 10-day ICETREK Iceland Ring Road with Highlands Tour & Northern Lights trip guided by Patrick, along with my wife and daughter at the end of September 2025. It turned out to be the most amazing trip we ever had. Every single day of the trip was incredible! We visited numerous waterfalls, hiked many trails with jaw dropping scenery, hiked on a glacier, saw whales on a whale watching cruise, went iceberg watching on an amphibious duck boat, went horseback riding on the iconic Icelandic horses, visited the desolate other-worldly highlands with our four-wheel drive Land Cruiser, visited a handful of Viking ruins and former settlements, had an adventurous climb to the top of Sveinstindur Peak with breathtaking views of the surrounding surreal black sand down below that stretched as far as the eye can see, saw many geothermal vents and geysers , and sat in two natural hot spring spa pools, just to mention some of the things we did. We even got to see the Northern lights! We could not have asked for any better guide than Patrick who drove us to all these places. He was very kind, tireless, easy going, full of humor, very flexible with our itinerary and took great care of us. Meeting Patrick's affable native Icelandic business partner, Gudfinnur ("Gufi"), along with Gufi's wife and dog was certainly a highlight. Gufi educated us on Icelandic culture, had us sample his traditional Icelandic fish stew, taught us how to cross streams in a 4x4, and showed us around his beloved Highland area where his cabins were located. We thoroughly enjoyed this thrilling visit to Iceland and I highly recommend ICETREK's Ring Road with Highlands Tour & Northern Lights trip.

Northern lights season in Iceland: months and oddsWhat decides whether you see the aurora in Iceland — months, darkness, cloud and the moon — and how to plan so one cloudy night doesn't sink the trip.
Sea angling from Reykjavík with a barbecueThree hours on Faxaflói Bay with a rod, and your own catch grilled on deck before you're back on the quay. Why it beats a second whale watch.
