This tour is a must do for first timers and experienced fishermen alike. Just breathing in the fresh air, being out in the open ocean and catching your first fish of the day make this an experience you'll never forget.
One of our expert guides will meet you on board one of our smaller vessels (Maggi Dan or Elding II), docked at the floating pier in front of the Whale Watching Centre. We will take you to the best fishing grounds that the bay offers, teach you all the best techniques while sharing our experience and personal insights. On board you'll get all the fishing equipment you need and a rain jacket to keep you dry.
Our sea angling tours are focused mainly on the southern part of Faxaflói, just off Reykjavík. These fishing grounds have attracted Icelandic fishermen for centuries and been an important source of nourishment for the locals. Our captains know the area better than any other and guarantee you a fantastic experience. The most commonly caught fish is catfish, cod, haddock, mackerel and pollack and of course what you catch, you can keep. At the end of the tour our crew can BBQ a small taste of the fresh catch for you on board.
We recommending combining this tour with a meal of your catch! After the tour, the chefs at MAR Restaurant prepare a nice meal out of your catch - and if you fish a lot, you can even gather your friends for a nice feast (note that additional fees apply)!
