Great cold water fishing excursion - This was my 2nd time fishing with this company. They do a great job of getting you on the fish, and helping you with problems. This day had a wide variety of folks, including beginners and kids. However, we all worked well together and caught quite a few very sizable cod, haddock, mackerel, whiting, a small halibut and a fish they said was rare but could not identify. They cook a sampling of fish to try and they are delicious! If you happen to be staying nearby, you are welcome to take some fish home with you. (I was on a cruise ship and could not do so). I'd definitely do this again

A must do for anyone visiting Iceland. - The weather was really rough, but despite this Iceland delivered a great day of fishing. 30+ fish in just 2 hours. A mix of Makrill, Cod and other species that was cooked on the way back and served by the really friendly crew. This is a must for anyone interested in fishing. No prior experience is needed and it was very easy.

Great fishing trip - catch and eat! - I took this excursion with my 13-year-old son and we loved it! The staff is two Icelandic brothers, who are very kind and helpful. There were 12 guests on the boat. The fishing poles are good quality and we fished in 4 different locations. Our group caught lots of fish - Whiting, Cod, Mackerel and Haddock. The crew cleaned and grilled our fish on the boat and served it with sauces and potato salad as we motored back to the harbour. The boat had a head (bathroom) and we were offered coffee and cookies when we boarded. We highly recommend this excursion!

MUST DO IN REYKJAVIC - Great trip! Jakob and his brother did a phenomenal job! We caught 30+ fish between the two of us. Then they cooked fresh fish on our ride back to the harbor which was delicious! Highly recommend this activity.

Good times - Had such a fun day with Elding! All the team caught heaps of fish, that we enjoyed freshly cooked of a bbq on board. Food was delicious and well prepared by crew member Nico and captain Bohdan, who are absolut funny legends to be around! We were able to take leftover fish back home and can share with all our friends :-) All in all, would do it again and can only recommend to everyone who likes to be out on the sea!

Fun experience - Very fun experience. Were shown how to operate the fishing rod and how to fish. Caught 2 fish. Sea was a little too stormy for me and I got motion sickness. Other than that, it's really fun
