TOUR DURATION

Enjoy the midnight sun through
a relaxing boat excursion

At a specific time of the year, the sun never set in south Greenland. Enjoy a leisurely iceberg safari in the Arctic evening with icebergs bathing in the orange and red colours of the never-setting midnight sun.

Head to the departure location at Harbour (Narsaq Marina) yourself. You can find a picture below indicating the departure location. Usually, the blue dot is where the boat usually stays. This 1-hour excursion is short yet full of photo opportunities. You will see the gigantic icebergs calved from Sermilik Fjord, hear the calving sound if you are lucky, feel the gentle breeze and smell the refreshing salty flavour of the sea.

Narsaq is the perfect spot to have an evening iceberg safari. The nearby glacier remains active in the past decades and calves chunks of icebergs into the fjord. Icebergs drifting in the fjord following the current and most of them pass Narsaq in their journey to the vast ocean. There is not a single individual that is not amazed by the icebergs!

TOUR DURATION

Take you closer to the inland icecap and enjoy the scenic fjord

No word can describe the beauty of the fjord in south Greenland, especially in the summer season! When you travel to Greenland in summer, join the boat tours and navigate in the fjord in South Greenland! It will be a great experience that can create a lifetime memory.

This excursion will take you through the vast and ice-filled Ikerssuaq Fjord. We will sail past gigantic icebergs and head to the impressive glacier system – Twin Glaciers. You will have the chance to spot wildlife along the journey and step on a small rock close to the glacier front! Keep browsing for more detailed information.

The departure location of this excursion is at Harbour. Head to Narsaq Marina (at the harbour) yourself and get on the right boat, your today’s excursion begins!

We will sail through the gigantic icebergs and magnificent Ikerssuaq Fjord, heading to the main stop of this excursion – Twin glacier. Chunks of ice are still calved from this impressive glacier today. The difference is that ice used to fall into the fjord in the past while the ice breaks off on land at present!

As we approach the glacier front, you can go ashore on a small rock emerging from the glacier front. At this spot, you will have the chance to touch the glacier yourself! You can also see the evidence and marks of the glacier receding over the rocks decades ago. Standing on this spot, you will find yourself dramatically tiny compared to the gigantic icebergs and vast glacier.

The way back is full of adventures as well. We will sail by bird cliffs and a scenic waterfall. We may also spot some wildlife at the same time.

Please note this excursion is not guided. To better facilitate the pick-up service, please the local driver can reach you through the phone number you left during the booking and email us your accommodation.
