Experience local life + amazing whale watching experience

Disko Bay is the name of the water area around Ilulissat. In the summertime, humpback whales come to the Disko Bay to hunt herring-like fish. Because of this, this area is a popular destination for whale watching. The gigantic and numerous icebergs also add more beauty and fun to this excursion.

Arctic Adventure guide will pick you up and drive you to the harbour. We will sail towards Ilimanaq – a small settlement south to Ilulissat. On the way, we will search for the appearance of the beautiful whales. Please be aware that we are not visiting a zoo, and therefore we cannot guarantee that the whales will “visit” our boat!

Ilimanaq is a small settlement. Some of the residents there still make their living by hunting. It is a great place to observe icebergs and experience the local culture.

Packed lunch is included in this excursion.

Duration approx.5-6 hours including transfer.

Number of Participants: Min 4/Max 12 per boat

Pick-up and transfers are included in this excursion. Arctic Adventure guide will contact you for more details.

Experience cultural ruins in South Greenland with our experienced guide

Want to explore the most well-preserved medieval ruins in South Greenland? Want to explore around by boat? Want to learn more about the culture and history here? This excursion is your perfect match!

Hvalsey Church Ruin Excursion takes you into through the beautiful Hvalsey Fjord around the Arpatsivik Island and finally arrive at Hvalsey. There we can visit the old Norse ruins as well as the church ruin, which is the best-preserved from the Norse period. Continue reading for detailed information.

Arctic Adventure guide will contact you by phone about the exact departure time. Make sure to leave the correct and reachable phone number for a smooth communication if there are any changes.

Pick up and transfer are not included in this excursion. Please walk to the harbour yourself. Search “Kongeboren, Qaqortoq” on google and you can find the right place to board on the boat.  

Once everyone is ready, we head to the harbour and sail out into the sea to start today’s adventure. Hvalsey is only 30 min sailing distance from Qaqortoq. This moderate sailing distance can both let you enjoy the beautiful fjords and ensure you not get too cold from the sea wind.

When we arrive at Hvalsey, Arctic Adventure guide will lead us around. Follow the grass-path, you will find yourself in front of the church ruin, which is the main attraction of this excursion. The existence of this church is one of the important evidence of the Norse settlement in Greenland. A wedding in the church in 1408 is the last written evidence we have from the Norse settlement in Greenland.

This excursion takes you to this beautiful and peaceful countryside with historical value. During this excursion, you will have sufficient time walking around, exploring the ruins, and immersing yourself with the calm nature.

This tour is guided.

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!

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

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.

TOUR DURATION

Touch inland Ice cap yourself through a relaxing boat excursion

If you plan to explore South Greenland, the glacier is a natural site that you cannot miss! Twin Glacier is located at the end of the fjord of South Greenland and produces tons of icebergs steadily throughout the year.

This excursion will take you to the Twin Glacier by boat and offer you a chance to touch the inland Icecap! Even though there is no Arctic Adventure guide in this excursion, you can still enjoy a lot of fun.

Before the starting time of this excursion, please head to the departure location by yourself. Search Kongebroen, Qaqortoq on google and you can find where the boat usually docks.

Once everyone is ready, we will sail through Ikerssuaq Fjord, pass some gigantic icebergs and head to the Twin Glacier.

Around the Twin Glacier, there is a great spot that you can go ashore, step on the land and touch the inland ice cap! We will have around 1-hour free time to walk around, explore this spot and take some wonderful pictures. 

On the way back, we will pass by another fjord with bird’s cliff and a fascinating big waterfall.

This excursion lasts around 4 hours and a half with approximately 1 hour on land near the glacier. During this excursion, we can feel the refreshing sea breeze, hear the calving sound of the icebergs and touch the inland ice cap! Having a closer interaction with icebergs and glacier is a must-do experience in Greenland!

Enjoy the cocktail with glacier ice and immerse yourself in the scenic views!

The Greenland Ice Cap produces 250 million tons of ice every year. Close to Narsarsuaq, the Qooroq Glacier fills up the fjord with beautiful icebergs. Many travellers have the chance to see it, but do you want to taste it?

This excursion takes you closer to the icebergs and offers you the refreshment you can only get in Greenland – a cocktail with glacier ice in it!

You will head to the harbour of Narsarsuaq with the included transfer service, and from there, the boat and experienced caption will sail with you to enjoy the fascinating fjord view. The cruise sails between the icebergs and goes as close to the calving glacier as possible.

Once the caption thinks you are close enough, he/she will turn off the engine to enjoy the silence. All you can hear, if you are lucky, is the sound of the creaking ice.

Want to taste the glacier water? Some unique refreshments are prepared for this excursion. We will get some ice and put it in our cocktails! Hear the amazing sound of thousands-year-old compressed air turn into bubbles and burst in your glass! Isn’t it the best cocktail you ever get?

Please note there is no guide in this excursion. 

Please email us the hotel you are staying at and make sure you are reachable in Greenland to facilitate a smooth transfer and communication.

TOUR DURATION

A short hiking among cultural ruins in South Greenland.

Sailing from Narsarsuaq, you can explore Qassiarsuk with an experienced guide, experience ruins from centuries ago, and visit some local churches. This excursion combines the experience of sailing and hiking in South Greenland. It is an excellent choice for nature-explorer and history-savvy.

Qassiarsuk is a small settlement. Sheep breeding and partially fishing are the main income in this settlement. Despite its small size, it gains world-wide fame since the famous Viking – Erik the Red – settled here over 1000 years ago. A 3-hour guided excursion will take you through the essence of this tiny yet cosy settlement.

Starting from the busy harbour, we board the boat and sail through the amazing Erik’s fjord with Arctic Adventure guide. You will have the opportunity to enjoy the salty yet refreshing sea breeze along the journey.

After a short and easy sail, we arrive at Qassiarsuk. There are around 2500 sheep in the settlement and around 8000 in the wider area – which outnumbers the residences. We will walk around and explore this settlement with the Arctic Adventure Guide. We visit the ruins of Erik’s farm, the local church, Inuit ruins and maybe the local shop.

Dating back to 985 AD, when Eric the red first arrived, he was deeply favoured by this place and named his farm “Brattahlið”, which means “the steep hill”. Today, even though some historical buildings are in ruins, they are still a significant part of today’s scenery. With the construction work in process, this settlement is lively despite its few residents. With this 3-hour adventure, you will immerse yourself in the natural beauty and historical vibes.

Transfer and guide are included in this excursion. Please make sure you wear proper clothing for both sailing and hiking.

Also, to facilitate a smooth transfer, please email us which hotel you are staying at.

A perfect tour to combine sailing and hiking in South Greenland!

Igaliku is one of the most beautiful villages in South Greenland. The colourful houses, green valleys and fantastic fjord altogether make this picturesque destination. This excursion will bring you to Itilleq by boat from Narsarsuaq and walk around 3 kilometres to Igaliku. Lunch, transfer and English-speaking guide are included.

The harbour of Narsarsuaq is always busy, and we will start our 8-hour adventure from there. We sail from there to Itilleq through Erik’s Fjord. From Itilelq, we walk around 3 kilometres to Igaliku. In summer, the surroundings are covered in green. It is quite pleasant and relaxing to take a walk in the lively summer vibes. If walking for a rather long distance is not favoured by you, transportation can be arranged at a surcharge if you notify us beforehand.

Igaliku means “the crossing place” in Greenlandic. Back to the old times, this place used to be a place for crossing so that boats and people can save time sailing around. Together with Arctic Adventure Guide, we will visit some Viking and Inuit ruins, Cathedral ruins, farm ruins and cemetery. You can experience the marks of history vividly there.

After lunch, we walk through the village back to Itilleq, and from there we will sail back to Narsarsuaq to mark an ending to today’s adventure.

Sheep holding is essential in South Greenland, and there is no exception for Igaliku. In this excursion, we will pass by groups of sheep in some areas. Don’t you wonder how the locals maintain the grass field? In Greenland, the youth must volunteer to do some community service, and planting fields is one of them! The areas you will pass by in this excursion might be planted by those young volunteers!

In Greenland, Igaliku is regarded as a more exclusive area. Why? One reason accepted by most people is that many prominent personalities in Greenland live, or have vacation homes here (former Greenlandic members of parliament, the artist Aka Høegh and the Danish actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – known from the HBO-series Game Of Thrones).

Don’t you want to experience this cosy, isolated village yourself?
