Explore Greenland’s Arctic landscapes, Inuit history and remote coastal communities on this 8-day Premium Greenland tour. Beginning and ending in Ilulissat, the journey centres on the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, where enormous icebergs drift through waters fed by one of the world’s most productive glacier systems.
Walk through Sermermiut, an ancient Inuit settlement, and visit the Icefjord Centre to learn about the region’s cultural heritage and changing climate. A full-day boat excursion to Eqi Glacier offers the chance to witness ice calving from towering glacier walls, with possible whale sightings along the way.
Cross Disko Bay to Disko Island, where volcanic cliffs, dark beaches and coastal trails provide a different perspective on Greenland’s geology. Hike to the Kuannit coastline and Qorlortorsuaq waterfall, kayak among floating icebergs and unwind in a sauna overlooking the bay.
In the historic settlement of Ilimanaq, discover local traditions and enjoy a special overnight stay at Ilimanaq Lodge, with contemporary Nordic-style accommodation overlooking Arctic waters. Throughout the trip, experience Greenlandic cuisine, guided walks and boat journeys through remote scenery.
Combining comfortable accommodation, cultural experiences and accessible outdoor activities, this Greenland adventure offers an introduction to Arctic landscapes and everyday life in one of the world’s most remote destinations.

Adventure Coordinators Insider Tip:
Greenlandic travel has a word worth knowing: immaqa, meaning “maybe”. Boat journeys, kayaking and glacier excursions depend on Arctic weather and local conditions, so plans can change. Pack layers and waterproof outerwear, and approach the itinerary with some flexibility—the conditions are part of travelling in this remote region.
