Two Ocean Adventures in One Tour

Experience the best of Iceland’s marine offerings with this unique combination tour that blends traditional sea angling with exciting whale watching. This 6-hour adventure provides double the value and double the excitement, showcasing both Iceland’s incredible marine life and its rich fishing heritage.

Fish and Watch Whales in the Same Waters

Learn traditional Icelandic fishing techniques from experienced local fishermen while targeting cod, haddock, pollock, and catfish in the rich waters around Reykjavik. The beauty of this combo is that fishing and whale watching complement each other naturally — while your lines are in the water, keep watch for minke whales, humpback whales, white-beaked dolphins, and harbor porpoises that frequent these same feeding grounds. Any fish you catch can be prepared and cooked on board using traditional Icelandic methods for the freshest seafood experience imaginable.

An Authentic Icelandic Marine Experience

All fishing equipment is provided and complete instruction is available for beginners, making this accessible to everyone in the family. Professional guides share species identification, behavior insights, and fascinating facts about Iceland’s marine ecosystem throughout the day. This tour combines Iceland’s fishing heritage with its role as one of Europe’s premier whale watching destinations in a single authentic adventure on the water.
