About Reykjavik Sea Adventures
Reykjavik Sea Adventures is a family-owned boat tour company operating from the Old Harbour since 2002, run by captain Kjartan and his crew. They specialise in sea angling, puffin watching, and small-group whale watching tours aboard their own vessel, with a maximum of 16 passengers per departure — far smaller than the large commercial operators sharing the same harbour.
Their flagship offering is the sea angling tour, where guests fish for cod, haddock, and pollock in Faxafloi Bay with all gear provided and the crew grilling your catch on deck with potatoes and homemade sauce. Puffin tours run seasonally to the nearby islands where thousands of Atlantic puffins nest from May through August. They also offer private charter options for groups wanting a customised experience on the water.
Reykjavik Sea Adventures has earned a reputation as Reykjavik's top sea angling operator, having sold more fishing tours to Icelandic locals than any competitor — a strong endorsement from people who know these waters best. Their intimate boat size means personal attention from the captain, flexible itineraries based on conditions, and a genuine local fishing experience rather than a mass-market cruise.
