In 2012, Lax-á opened a camp on the coast of Southwest
Greenland, comprising of 12 two-person lodges with all the
necessary modern conveniences. The camp serves as a base
for Lax-á’s trips, organized in cooperation with the Greenland
Caribou Company, which holds the exclusive hunting and fish-
ing rights to 50,000 ha (124,000 ac) in the area.
The adventure begins with a flight from Reykjavík to Narsar-
suaq, where local guides welcome the visitors, followed by a
scenic boat ride to the camp. The following days are spent fish-
ing for Arctic char in lakes and rivers near the camp, hunting
for big game and sea angling for cod, bullhead and flounder.
A visit to local villages, hiking or sightseeing tours can also be
arranged.
