Reykjavik · FISHING
Good fishing trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 4 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
From Reykjavik’s Old Harbor, you’ll fish Faxaflói Bay for cod, haddock, pollock, rockfish, and halibut with an English-speaking crew. Guides such as Oddgeir, Stefan, and Asgeir help beginners quickly, and your catch can be grilled onboard with potatoes.
“We had so much fun! Highly recommend and would do it again!”
Sail from Reykjavik aboard Jóhanna with an English-speaking crew, including guides such as Jakob and Viggson on recent trips. Fish the Faxaflói grounds for cod, haddock, mackerel, pollack, and catfish, then eat the fresh catch with potatoes, sauces, and salad.
“My son and I had a really fun time on this tour. The guides (brothers) were fun to talk and fish with, very good fishermen and seamen, and also good cooks. We caught a good number of fish which were grilled right on the back of the boat as we finished our fishing day. When we pulled up our lines for the day we sat down to some delicious grilled fish. The boat is good sized and max number of guests is 12 so it didn't feel crowded. We even got to see some puffins. Really glad we did this tour and would go again.”
Meet your captain at Geirsgata 11 for a three-hour sea-fishing trip across Faxaflói Bay. The crew supplies rods, bait, and warm coveralls, helps beginners, and grills your cod or haddock on board. Summer departures may pass puffin islands, and whales or dolphins can appear along the way.
“The crew were wonderful and treated us with kindness, no matter how experienced we were with fishing. The crew and participants were enthusiastic with every catch, of which there were many. The dinner was delicious. Well done!”
Join brothers Jakob and Julian for a three-hour sea angling trip from Hlésgata 1 in Reykjavik. The crew supplies gear, teaches beginners, finds productive fishing grounds, and grills your catch with potatoes, coleslaw, and skyr sauce on the way home.
“This fishing trip was amazing! We caught haddock and cod! My husband and I each caught about 10 fish a piece and others on the boat caught a lot as well! It was so much fun to fish in Iceland with these friendly brothers! You get to eat your fish right after it's caught! Cannot have fresher fish! It tasted great! Thanks so much for an amazing experience!”
Pick a road out, a boat or a hot spring.
