78 ICELAND REVIEW
GREENLAND – ULTIMATE WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE
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 hectares (124,000 acres) 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.
ICELAND – HUNTING, FISHING AND SIGHTSEEING
Fishing enthusiasts visiting Iceland can choose between numer-
ous Arctic salmon, char and trout rivers. Trips can be arranged
either for the day or longer. Whatever your requests, Lax-á’s staff

Accommodation is arranged in lodges in the peaceful country-
side. After a long day of fishing, a soak in a hot tub with stunning

tering or full-service, all-inclusive lodges.

ers in Iceland. Lax-á holds the rights to the largest goose-hunting
territories in the country—500 hectares (1,240 acres) in the south
