Thanks so much for an amazing experience!”

“We had guide Mike for our day of fishing. Mike is a GREAT GUIDE AND PERSON. He was extremely accommodating and patient, and has a great sense of humor. He knows the waters we fished like the back of his hand. Mike was well prepared and ready with all of our equipment. We came early in the fishing season so it wasn’t optimal time but we managed to land 8 brown trout and missed several others in one day. I highly recommend this trip! Yes my non fishing daughter caught more fish than I did.”

Reykjavik guided sea angling in Faxaflói Bay with gear, help, and BBQ lunch, from the old harbor. 3 hours, English.
“This was one of the highlights of our trip! Absolutely enjoyed every minute on the boat. We were on the fish right away, and when it slowed, the captain was quick to move us to another stop. Our group caught so much fish, they didn't even cook it all. They cooked fish for us to eat on the way back to the port. Eating the fish immediately was fantastic! I can't say enough good things about the crew, lunch, and this excursion in general. I would book it again if I am lucky enough to go back to Iceland in the future.”

We caught many char and trout throughout the day on both spinning and fly tackle. Highly recommend this as a great day trip from Reykjavik.”
Every kind of day the city sends out, and the best of each.
