5.00We had the greatest time and our guide Iris was so sweet and helpful!!! I had never fished before, my husband, sister and brother-in-law had. We got suited up, got out into the ocean, got a lesson on what to do, then we threw our lines into the water!! I caught 6 fish!!! The four of us caught 14 altogether!! Back at the fish house, we got to eat what we caught. It was a lot of fun!!! Thank you Iris, for a great adventure!!!

5.00We had so much fun on our fishing excursion. It was a very rainy day, but they provided full rain gear. We caught a lot of fish which we then brought back to the camp and the Fraus cooked the fish for us along with waffles, it was so delicious! I have celiacs and they accommodated for me by making gluten-free waffles and fish. They are very kind people and made our experience so enjoyable. This was one of my favorite days on our trip to Norway.

5.00Axel was fantastic on our fishing trip. He was on-time, easy to talk with, and very knowledgeable—not just about fishing, but also about Norway in general, sharing fun facts and highlights throughout the day. He did a great job keeping everyone involved, and we each caught plenty of fish—mackerel, pollock, and cod among them—which, of course, made the day even better, and was quick to help with hooks, explain the different species, and walk beginners through the basics. The weather also cooperated, giving us a sunny afternoon on the water for about two hours. I would have happily stayed out longer, but it was still a wonderful experience regardless. Lunch was definitely a highlight. There’s something special about cooking fish you caught just hours earlier—it was fresh and delicious. The team back at the dock also went out of their way to accommodate my wife, who has celiac disease and a severe tree nut allergy. They prepared her fish separately without flour, kept ingredients and utensils isolated to avoid cross-contact, and even made her a gluten-free pancake instead of the usual waffle. She couldn’t have the fish soup that day, but they mentioned they’ll be more proactive about offering gluten-free options in the future, which we really appreciated. Overall, Axel’s company and attention made the experience outstanding. I’d absolutely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Bergen—whether you’re experienced in fishing or it’s your first time.

5.00Great day fishing near Bergen. Our guide was helpful. We caught mackerel and Pollock and there were 20 crabs in the crab cage. We enjoyed having the fish cleaned. Our chef fried up the fish and served it with potatoes and pickled cucumbers. We also enjoyed the boiled crabs. They have all of the gear you need so don’t worry about the weather. Overall, a great experience. The pick up and drop off was easy. A fun morning fishing in Bergen.
