Reindeer hunting at Camp Isua
Venture into Greenland’s remote wilderness for an unforgettable hunting expedition. At Camp Isua, you’ll track reindeer through vast tundras, navigate rugged landscapes, and experience hunting in its most authentic form.
A raw and untamed hunting experience
Hunting reindeer at Camp Isua is unlike any other experience. Deep in the heart of Greenland’s pristine wilderness, this expedition offers a rare opportunity to engage with nature in its rawest form. Here, vast landscapes stretch toward the horizon, interrupted only by the towering mountains and winding rivers that define this region, where the caribou roam freely across the tundra.
As you track them through shifting terrain, you’ll witness nature at its most untouched—where every step brings you closer to the thrill of the hunt. This is more than a hunting trip; it’s a journey back to the fundamentals of survival, guided by hunters who understand the land and its rhythms.
The land, the hunt, the tradition
The fjord surrounding Camp Isua is a prime hunting ground, with expansive valleys, rolling hills, and glacial-fed rivers creating the perfect habitat for reindeer. These majestic animals move in large herds in the winter season and spread out during the summer season, offering a challenging yet rewarding hunt.
At the bottom of Grædefjord, where our camp is nestled, the valley narrows into a dramatic chute stretching for kilometers toward the ice sheet. Towering, majestic mountains flank this natural corridor, creating a one-way highway for migrating reindeer as they make their way down to the saltwater—often passing remarkably close to our campsite. Spotting them near camp is not just a possibility; it’s a common and awe-inspiring sight.
What makes hunting in Greenland unique is the connection between tradition and nature. For centuries, hunting has been a way of life here, and this expedition is deeply rooted in that legacy. You’ll learn tracking techniques, understand the patterns of the reindeer, and experience firsthand the respect Greenlandic hunters have for the land and its wildlife.
An arctic expedition like no other
Picture this—a four-day adventure, where Greenland’s untouched wilderness becomes your hunting ground. Spent four nights in a remote Arctic camp, where we set out in our boats every morning and sail along the coast, towards hunting grounds while scouting for reindeer. We arrive at different hunting spots and step on land where the real hunting starts. After the hunting days you will have an overnight stay in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, where you can reflect on your journey in comfort.
For three and a half intense days, you’ll traverse the tundra, tracking reindeer across varied landscapes. Each morning, you’ll set out in our boats, venturing deeper into the wild, where patience, skill, and endurance will lead to the ultimate reward. Your expert guides will be by your side, ensuring a safe, ethical, and deeply immersive hunting experience.
From the moment you arrive in Nuuk, everything is meticulously planned. Transfers, lodging, meals, and hunting permits are arranged, so you can focus solely on the pursuit. At camp, enjoy hearty Greenlandic meals prepared to fuel your adventure, and in the evenings, gather with the group to share stories under the Arctic sky.
This isn’t just a hunt—it’s a full immersion into Greenland’s vast, unspoiled landscape, where every moment is an encounter with the wild. The land, the challenge, and the camaraderie of the hunt will leave you with lasting memories and a deep respect for nature’s raw beauty.
