About the activity

On this fishing boat tour, you'll depart from Stavanger, often called the 'Gateway to the Fjords', renowned for its rugged beauty, traditional fishing villages, and unique coastal landscapes.

The fishing excursion in Stavanger begins at the meeting point, where you'll be picked up by your experienced guide. You will be provided with all the necessary clothing and life jackets, as well as safety briefing before you embark on you fishing adventure on the 12-meter fishing boat.

The captain will set sail along the stunning archipelago, passing by striking cliffs, rocky coastlines and open views of the Sea. Your experienced instructor will teach you the best techniques for fishing and show you how to pick seaweed, small shrimp, and the freshest fish on along way, adding more flavors and variety to your final meal.

Once you've caught the fish of the day, you'll head to the boat's kitchen where your guide will teach you the more humane ways to cook your catches. The meal you cook will depend on what you catch, usually consisting of boiled crabs, fish soup, or barbecued mackerel fillets. Apple juice from a local farm will also be served with the meal. Then, you will be treated to authentic Norwegian waffels with sour cream and brown cheese, ending your delicious meal!

After you've recharged, the guide will sail back to the original starting point in Stavanger, ending your excursion with fun-filled memories and a newfound love for fishing!

Learn the best fishing techniques while immersing yourself along the shoreline outside of Stvanager's rugged natural beauty on this fishing and cooking boat tour from Stavanger!

The whole experience was awesome. My teenage sons had.never fished from a boat and were totally absorbed. It helped we had a dry and sunny day but we were given warm suits and gloves and hats if needed. The instructor was super and the lunch at the end delicious !

A great experience with two very knowledgeable guides/fishermen/cooks! Tour was great even starting out from the drive out from Bergen, with our guide sharing a lot about the area along the way. Once out on the sea we were greeted with beautiful views of the the sea and the surrounding islands, and were provided with all necessary equipment (rain jackets, pants, lifevest, fishing rods). Our guides managed everything very well and cooked up a delicious fish soup at end of it, topped off with Norwegian-style waffles with brumost, cream cheese and jam.

This was so awesome! We were taken out in an authentic fishing boat on a nearly private tour (just us and one other couple) and fished a few different spots out on the fjord while discussing some of the history as well as the various fish, fishing techniques and cooking styles. We only caught two small cod variations so that was a bit underwhelming but can’t make the fish bite if they don’t want to and it was plenty for the Nordic Bergen Fish Soup the owner cooked for us upon returning which was incredible! We also pulled up the crab traps and got a few of those little guys for the stock. We had pure apple cider which was also amazing and were made waffles for dessert which we got to try the infamous brown cheese on well. The owner told us stories about the history of the place while we ate. It was honestly such an amazing hometown experience and was exactly what we were seeking to experience authentic Norway.
