Hunters can expect:

Each day is tailored to weather and bird movement, allowing guides to position hunters in the most productive areas possible.

Hunt Location — Sisimiut, Greenland

Our Greenland King Eider hunts are conducted exclusively from the coastal town of Sisimiut, widely recognized as one of the most consistent and productive regions in the Arctic for harvesting King Eiders. Located approximately 25 miles north of the Arctic Circle along Greenland’s rugged west coast, Sisimiut offers ideal access to traditional migration corridors and expansive marine habitat that supports large concentrations of sea ducks each spring.

Unlike many remote Arctic destinations, Sisimiut combines reliable bird numbers with dependable infrastructure, experienced local guides, and safe access to productive hunting waters. The surrounding coastline features sheltered fjords, offshore islands, and protected bays that create prime feeding and staging areas for King Eiders as they migrate north through western Greenland.

This region has been utilized by professional Inuit hunters for generations, and today it remains one of the most trusted locations for hunters pursuing one of the most iconic species in the waterfowling world.
