It is always a bit cool when on the boat. Warm clothes should be at hand when cruising between areas.

In Greenland we stay in hotels with all modern amenities, 3 meals per day, snacks, soft drinks. No tent camps, no outdoor toilets.

We serve 3 meals per day (richly provided lunch box in the boat)and all drinks are included (except alcoholic drinks). Usually the guide or his assistant will do the cooking at the lodge. We will try to fullfill personal wishes of the hunters in regards to menu. When possible we will of course cook wild game of the season.

The muskox (Ovibos moschatus) is an Arctic mammal of the Bovidae family, noted for its thick coat and for the strong odor emitted by males, from which its name derives. This musky odor is used to attract females during mating season. Muskoxen live primarily in Arctic North America, with small reintroduced populations in Sweden, Siberia and Norway.

Greenland Muskox hunting is done during the month of July.

There are both steep and flat coastal areas. Hunters can choose how hard terrain they want to deal with. We are the only outfitter in Greenland, working in an area, where you do not nesseccarily have to be very fit and walk your ass off.

Musk ox can sometime be shot from the boat if the hunters has limited walking capability. But better to be able to stalk a couple of hundred yards on shore. It improves chances for better Muskox trophy.
