Overview

On this small group tour set on our charming boat SAGA, a 40 feet traditional Icelandic fishing boat, we will take you to the best fishing grounds in the bay. Our captain has over four decades of experience and will teach you all the best techniques! To ensure that everyone has the best experience possible, this is a small group tour of only 14 passengers.
On board you'll get the all the necessary fishing equipment as well as protective clothing. In the summer months (May-August) we make a stop at the 'Puffin island' and have a look at the amazing birdlife of the bay. As an added bonus, the crew will barbecue your catch on board, complimented with some potatoes and homemade sauce, and if you catch a lot, you may even keep the rest!

    I took this excursion with my 13-year-old son and we loved it! The staff is two Icelandic brothers, who are very kind and helpful. There were 12 guests on the boat. The fishing poles are good quality and we fished in 4 different locations. Our group caught lots of fish - Whiting, Cod, Mackerel and Haddock. The crew cleaned and grilled our fish on the boat and served it with sauces and potato salad as we motored back to the harbour. The boat had a head (bathroom) and we were offered coffee and cookies when we boarded. We highly recommend this excursion!

    The weather was really rough, but despite this Iceland delivered a great day of fishing. 30+ fish in just 2 hours. A mix of Makrill, Cod and other species that was cooked on the way back and served by the really friendly crew. This is a must for anyone interested in fishing. No prior experience is needed and it was very easy.

    Great trip! Jakob and his brother did a phenomenal job! We caught 30+ fish between the two of us. Then they cooked fresh fish on our ride back to the harbor which was delicious! Highly recommend this activity.

    Super friendly and accommodating guides. Fish tasted great! The kids all caught a ton- they loved it. The inside of the boat was comfortable and warm!

    Had such a fun day with Elding! All the team caught heaps of fish, that we enjoyed freshly cooked of a bbq on board. Food was delicious and well prepared by crew member Nico and captain Bohdan, who are absolut funny legends to be around! We were able to take leftover fish back home and can share with all our friends :-) All in all, would do it again and can only recommend to everyone who likes to be out on the sea!

    Very fun experience. Were shown how to operate the fishing rod and how to fish. Caught 2 fish. Sea was a little too stormy for me and I got motion sickness. Other than that, it's really fun

    We had wonderful weather, seas were reasonable and we caught a good number of fish. The lunch was expertly prepared, very tasty and we all agreed it was a really great trip.

    I have never fished before but was able to catch 2 huge fish. Everyone on the boat caught something, and it was a great time!

    Kind of surprised this tour wasn't more popular. It was short (2-3 hours). It's a normal fishing tour, and they cook it up right there on the boat on your ride back. this tour is PERFECT as it's in the afternoon. So you can spend a nice morning walking through the city, do this in the afternoon, then you have the whole evening to go out. Plus, you will not have any more fresher seafood in iceland period, lol.

    I had a lot of fun on this trip even though I came alone! Everyone on the boat was really nice, the fishes were cooked on the boat and it was delicious. We even had the chance to see puffins. Would totally recommend it!
