Join us on a thrilling fishing adventure along the shoreline outside Bergen! Our tour offers a unique opportunity to discover the wonders of sea life and nature, while learning how to fish and cook like a pro. Our tours often result in catching enough fish to make a delicious meal that can include anything from boiled crabs and fish soup to barbecued mackerel fillets. The menu of the day will depend on the day's catch, making every tour a unique and exciting experience. Our tour starts outside Bergen Tourist information, where we pick you up and drive you to the local islet Syltøy in Øygarden - a scenic 30-35 minute drive. Once we arrive at our base in Syltøy, we'll provide you with all the necessary clothing and life jackets, as well as a safety brief before we embark on our open safe boat of 6 meter. After about 1.5-2 hours of fishing, we'll head back to our sea house, a cozy and historic building where we'll prepare the catch together, turning it into a nice meal. We'll even offer you local apple juice to drink. This tour is not just about catching fish and having a meal, local history and culture is a big part of this tour.

5.00We were picked up and rode out to the boat with a knowledgable Icelandic native. The boat was great and the captain friendly and knowledgable but let us fish independently. We caught 3 fish, 2 that we were able to keep and later eat. The fish soup was delicious and the day was fun from start to finish. A good day and a good value and the views from the water were spectacular and unique.

5.00Had a lovely time in this trip. Although none of our group caught a fish, the operator was ready and we went to see if any crabs were caught in their traps. We had a haul of 7 crabs, so we had a crab each for our group of 6 pax. Since we did not catch any fish, the operator had backup plan and made fish soup with some frozen cod fish pieces. Result- a wonderful lunch of fish soup and freshly boiled crabs
Core memories made

5.00Johanas was a great guide! Knew where to take us, explained everything very well and understood the levels of those in the boat. He helped those with little fishing experience and allowed veterans to have at it. The meal prepared upon return was excellent and a showcase of the fish we caught. A core memory for sure.
Great fishing trip

5.00Great fishing trip. Johan, our guide, and Alexander, our cook, made the whole experience incredible. We all caught fish and there is nothing better than fresh cooked fish at the end.
Fishing fun
