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.
