Best activity in Iceland
Best fishing trip ever! My wife and I enjoyed every moment. It was the best part of being in Iceland. All the staff were amazing and helpful. You could even see whales. Highly recommend
via Tripadvisor
Great time on Sea Angling trip
Great trip, fanastic boat and super friendly crew, and we caught a ton of amazing fish - cod, haddock and whiting!
via Viator
Great fun, excellent fishing, warmly recommended.
Tourist oriented 3 hour sea angling session within the harbour at Reykjavik. All gear is provided, I got a short and stiff rod with the trusty old baby Senator 113H, loaded with mono that looked around 40lb. End rig a couple of crude looking latex commercial lures that transform in the water to look very like a small fish. Tangle resistant and overall as idiot proof as you could wish. The crew, who spoke excellent English, gave a quick and clear demo of what to do. The boat was roomy enough for the 12 anglers aboard, and was clean and well equipped for the task. Fishing was done on the drift with a drogue to slow it up. Iceland has wisely excluded other nations from her seas, and polices that effectively, which means a thriving industry for both commercial and sport fishing. Fishing was excellent, I had haddock, pollack, cod, and coalfish, sometimes two at a time. I think everyone had at least decent results. We drifted three different areas, and on the last the coalfish were so numerous they were grabbing the lures on the drop. If I did get to the bottom, but failed to catch a cod or haddock quickly, I found winding up a few turns immediately hit the coalfish again. We only wanted a modest amount of eating fish so the smaller ones and less tasty species were returned. The crew barbied some cod and haddock for us to eat on the way back, very simple tasty and ultra fresh. As a bonus there were lots of seabirds to see, mainly the greedy fulmars and a good number of puffins. Didn't see a whale this time but sightings are not unusual. If I was lucky enough to return I would like to take my own gear and fish a bit lighter, but I recognise that loan gear needs to be usable for even the least experienced, so they had that right . Great fun and warmly recommended.

Great time fishing and feasting
Really fun. Met some great people and the crew were awesome. They were super friendly and helpful. This was my second time doing this trip and I would go back. There were some locals on the trip as well and it was great talking to them about Iceland

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Reykjavik.
How much does Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Reykjavik usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Reykjavik is not rushed.
Is Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 56 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Reykjavik, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Reykjavik can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Reykjavik and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Reykjavik Sea Angling Gourmet start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Reykjavik within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Reykjavik?
+
On Outty we rank every Reykjavik experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Reykjavik Food Walk - Local Foodie Adventure in Iceland, Small-Group Golden Circle, Blue Lagoon with Ticket & Kerid Crater, Reykjavík Small group Walking Tour - by CityWalk. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Reykjavik?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Reykjavik?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
