The location of Ilulissat in West Greenland is breathtaking - all year round huge icebergs rising more than hundred metres above sea level can be seen, stranded in the fjord. These icebergs are all products of the most productive glacier in the Northern Hemisphere; The Ilulissat Glacier gives birth to 20 million tons of ice every day - this has earned the area a listing as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Icebergs of Sermermiut
Travel by road as far as it allows, and then enjoy a beautiful walk along the Ilulissat Ice Fjord to Sermermiut. Here, traces from the four old Eskimo cultures still can be seen. Sermermiut is a fertile valley next to the Ice Fjord - the Arctic flora and great views of the icebergs make this a beautiful spot.

Price: DKK 300 including refreshment

Hunter's Settlement
A full day excursion to one of Greenland's traditional hunting settlements. Travel by boat to Oqaitsut (Rodebay), which has a population of just 40 people.  They are totally dependent on fishing and hunting - quite a different world compared to the nearby town of Ilulissat. Guided walk through the village before taking lunch at the old trading station.
Duration: 6 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 1000 including lunch

Midnight Cruise to the Ice Fjord

Duration: 3 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 500

Duration: 2 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 175

Eqip - The Calving Glacier
Eqip glacier is the only glacier in Ilulissat area where we often experience the glacier calving icebergs into the sea. During lunch, we cruise in front of the 5 km wide glacier, and hope for the incredible sight of an iceberg “delivery”. We may be joined by a lot of seabirds as they know by experience that any icebergs calving will provide a huge meal - when the new iceberg rolls in the water it brings up a lot of sea animals to the surface.
Duration: 8 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 1595 including lunch

Fishing tour
We sail to the fishing spot of the day, most probably near Bredebugt or at the mouth of the Ilulissat Ice Fjord. While waiting for our catch we have time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. By the end of the day we will hopefully bring home different sorts of fish like cod, halibut, redfish and catfish.
Duration: 4 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 1000

Whale Safari
By boat we go out into the Disko Bay to spot whales. In the summertime humpback whales come to Disko Bay to feed on the capelin, a small herring-like fish. As the humpback whales are protected they are very trusting and can often be enjoyed at close range. However, as this is not a zoo there is of course no guarantee for seeing the whales.
Duration: 5 hours (approx.)
Price: DKK 850 including packed lunch
