We were two couples who were able to book this trip last minute through email at midnight the day before heading out. Even though they were initialt fullt booke they... read more were able to bring us out in their industrial small fishing boat (kalles a "sjark"). We had quite a bit of wind and waves, but our captain were very skilles and took us safely to great fishing spots. All onboard were able to catch a few fish, both large and small, and he even spent an extra hour after the trip filleting all the fish for us to take home. He also provides us with great cooking tips for the different linds of fish, which turned out delicious. Thanks for an incredibly joyous experience! …
august 1, 2020We recommend this company! It is smart to start your stay in Lofoten with a fishing trip. Captain Johannes has a lot of knowledge about Svolvær and Lofoten. Here you... read more can get good advice on nice mountain hikes and more. We caught a lot of fish on the trip, captain Johannes knows where the fish are! Incredibly good service!
juli 25, 2020It was an amazing experience! I did the Trollfjord cruise first. This activity just blew my mind. It was so beautiful and we saw the see eagles flying around and... read more catching some fish. The sight in the trollfjord was also amazing and the experience of the rib was so nice. We loved it so much, we decided to also go on the fishing trip the next day.
This was also very nice and we got some big fish. The 7 brothers who run this company are very helpfull and you can see they put a lot of afford into this company. I recommened to book with Go2Lofoten!
august 3, 2022We did the fishing experience in the morning (2 adults and 2 kids) and we really recommend it!
Everything has been perfect: well organized, involving, spectacular!
We all catched fish,... read more during the trip to the fishing spot the staff entertained us with very interesting stories about Svolvaer and surrounding and, most important, during the way back we learned how to filleting the fish we got: amazing!

That was the best experience I had in Lofoten!!! Strongly recommend going to sea safari eagles trip. This boat is very fast and smoothly go through the water. Take warm... read more clothes even if there’s quite warm outside. It’s very windy! But seeing eagles and all the beautiful landscapes is priceless! Awesome experience and people running this business are very very nice and friendly!
august 22, 2022Very good experience!! We were two families of 7 total (adults + teenagers) travelling together at the end of July 2020. The booked 3-hour fishing tour ended up being... read more a 4+ hours tour as our guide let us fish longer and drove us closer to the dolphins we spotted on our return trip and also gave us some extra time out fishing / feeding leftovers to seagulls due to the superb weather that day. Our guide was informative, helpful, calm and friendly. He taught us how to fish, select depth & why, care for the fish, the laws for fishing, to slay the fish, spoke warmly about protecting the species (not over-fishing, but only fish what you will actually eat.) And he was a bit if a tourist guide too enroute. We would surely recommend him (and presumably his brothers too. We met one of them as we docked, he seemed like a friendly fellow too) We got a cup of hot coffee or blackcurrant enroute. But do bring some food and maybe a pack of wet wipes for the trip. We brought freshly baked cinnamon rolls & shared with the others. Much appreciated after some hours on board... and the wet wipes are ... let's just say that fish smells and it's much nicer to eat if your hands don't smell like fish... 😉 …
august 1, 2020We were a family of eight persons (five from Hamburg, Germany; two from Bretagne, France, and one from Trondheim, Norway) who had booked a fishing trip (four hours) with Go2Lofoten... read more during the Lofoten fisheries.
It turned out to be an unforgettable and spectacular event. Not only did we catch enough fish for the rest of our stay in Lofoten - five days (most "små-sei" (small saithe/ pollock) but also a couple of "Skrei" "pregnant cod !" of "reasonable" size , but we also learned from the skipper how to bleed, gutt, and fillet the fish.
Finally, we also got the opportunity to see the professional fishermen "in action" (NB In Norway, women are now also professionals!), setting their nets etc. And we were lucky to observe a sea eagle! The weather was unusually cold, but blue sky, quiet sea and with the suites provided by Go2Lofoten we were warm....

We had a great experience on our trip July 18. The weather was shifting and we had some rain and wind but it was still great! We had our sydvests... read more on (the legacy headwear of lofoten and a great souvenir). The fishing started without results for the first tries and the captain wanted to move , but suddenly things started to happen and yes we stayed at the spot and hauled in fish of all kinds. It was very exciting for all the family. On the way back in good waves the crew displayed fileting of the catch which was impressing considering the rolling of the boat. We also got to try but it went better back at port. I highly recommend this for anyone who would like a taste of fishing in lofoten.
august 2, 2022We booked a 3hr fishing cruise and had the most amazing experience. Not only was our captain, Johannes, a skilled fisherman who knew where the big fish were hiding, he... read more was full of good stories and patiently taught us how to gutter our fish; filleting it and other funfacts. He was incredibly generous with his time and offered to freeze our fillets. What fab service - do chose this operator if you want a fun and useful experience.
