★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 223 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $141Our pick

From Reykjavík’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. After about 2.5 hours, your catch can be grilled with potatoes, while puffins, dolphins, and whales may appear offshore.

“Amazing time! Guys on the boat were all so nice and fun (funny too)! Weather was so severe and scary with waves splashing on the deck while we were riding to the sea, but it all made our experience just better! We caught fish and ate it too. Just my boy was so sad we couldn’t it take his fish home with us :)…”
