About

Enjoy a day of fishing on one of our beautiful rivers on the south-west coast of Iceland, all within a 60-minute drive from Reykjavík.

We carefully select the best river for each trip depending on season and availability. All fishing spots are easily accessible and suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers. The tour is also ideal for families with children taking their first steps into the world of freshwater fishing.

Some of our rivers are fly-only, while others allow mixed tackle. Exceptions can be made for children on fly-only rivers to ensure they have the best possible experience.

Picture yourself standing by the riverbank, surrounded by the raw beauty of Icelandic nature, casting your line with the guidance of an experienced local guide. Every stretch of the river offers the chance to connect with Arctic char or brown trout, while you enjoy a relaxing and memorable day outdoors.
