World class pool and drop

Arctic charr is the name of the game in the exclusive pool and drop rivers of Destination Arctic Circle.

All our rivers combine a unique Greenlandic angling experience with a living cultural history where you can meet local families who have used the same rivers for centuries.

Destination Arctic Circle is the prime spot in Greenland for backcountry angling on intense, remote river stretches only accessible by boat and with a local guide.

And no no other destination in the country has as many challenging, top notch locations.

Angling for arctic charr on remote river stretches is quickly becoming one of our best products, and Destination Arctic Circle has established as the prime angling spot in Greenland with a number of great destinations. South of Maniitsoq two companies operate river angling on the Kangia and Qoqqut rivers, and local charter boats make sure the trip is a journey in itself through the archipelago. Around Sisimiut rivers are accessible by boat as well, and there are destinations both North and South of town, with the Southern rivers being nothing short of the best angling spots in the entire country.
