Hunting in Iceland
Hunting in Iceland has only recently been embraced by foreign sportsmen and the few who have made the journey have been very pleasantly surprised.
The vast, wild and unspoilt interior of Iceland provides ideal habitat for ptarmigan and reindeer. The coastal fringes are host to thousands of geese that gather there in the autumn, after a summer of breeding in the mountain areas, before their long flight south. There are also duck along the coast for most of the year.
Hunting is well organised and regulated, thus ensuring well managed populations of hunting species. Importing firearms goes very smoothly as all the paperwork can be ready for you to sign on arrival at Keflavik airport. After that visitors are transported by a guide to the hunting grounds and the arranged accommodation.
