Lax-á was established in 1987 and has been one of Iceland’s leaders in hunting and fishing outfitters ever since. It was one of the first companies in Iceland to organize wingshooting and reindeer hunting. The company has had a great success in reindeer hunting where previous clients have had a 100% success and a good trophy. They have all returned home delighted with the experience..

Good hunting in the morning..

Goose hunting has become a very popular sport in Iceland. There are plenty of geese on the island as four species fly from mainland Europe two of them to lay their eggs in Iceland, the other two using Iceland as a stopover on their way even further north..

The resident geese are the greylag goose and the pink footed goose, the stop overs are the barnacle goose and the white fronted goose. Lax-á offers excellent geese shooting trips to the best hunting areas in the country..

Sometimes you get lucky and have easy targets..

One of the best wingshooting in the world is in no doubt the ptarmigan shooting. Walking up ptarmigan in the Icelandic mountain and shooting over pointing dogs is one of the most breathtaking sports one can expect. There are well over 1 million birds on the island..
