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 Day of Fishing - Captain Jacob is an experienced sailor and fisherman. His boat is very well equipped and safe. He knew where he wanted to take us to provide the best chance of catching fish. We had a great time and caught several fish. We would recommend his services hands down.

Fun, Fresh, and Fantastic Fishing Trip! - Our Sea Angling & Gourmet tour with Elding was an absolute blast! From start to finish, the experience was well-run, exciting, and a perfect way to spend a day on the water. We caught plenty of fish, and the crew made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time. They were helpful and always ready to assist with gear, tips, and encouragement. The best part? Enjoying the fresh catch grilled right on board. It doesn’t get any fresher than that!

Caught fish for ring road trip - This was really fun and cost effective. First we got to spend 2 hours fishing for cod and other fish only 30 Min boat ride from downtown. Fishing was alot of fun and very easy. Second-you can keep your fish. We had then fillet the fish on the way home. Our family of 5 went home with 3 gallon zip lock bags of different fish fillets. Since we had our campervan, we cooked the fish over 5 days around ring road. Fish tacos and grilled fish. Was incredible and probably saved us a 1000 US DOLLARS IN FOOD. Trip paid for itself Second we saw pufins and whales on boat ride. Third The two guys running it are hilarious amd helpful Fourth- they cooked us an awesome meal that would have beem 50 dollars per person in downtown All in all a great trip

Cancellation of the activity without warning. - We drove for 1 hour and paid parking for 4 hours before discovering at the ticket office that the activity was cancelled due to the weather conditions. I understand that the weather does not allow to go out but an email or a phone call would have been nice. I have paid in full for the service and expect a refund without delay.

Cancellation without warning - Cancellation by the provider without informing customers. We flew 1 hour and paid parking for 4 hours to discover at the office of Eleina Whale Watching that the activity was cancelled due to the weather conditions. Since then we have no more information or refund. It’s easier to pay than to be reimbursed apparently.
