About this activity

Hunt fish underwater using pole spears in Hafnarfjörður's pristine waters—no diving certification required. This unique 3-hour freediving experience lets you explore depths from 1 to 20+ metres based on your ability and conditions, with the option to take your catch home for dinner.

You need NO certificate for this tour.  Depth depends on you.  We meet at a location witch depends on weather, get in the water and have fun hunting fish. We use pole spears to catch fish. Depth is from 1m to 20+ depending on both your ability and weather of course. You have the option of keeping all your catch and take with you for eating later.
