About this tour
Hike on glaciers, cruise through ice fjords and visit small settlements steeped in mythology on this Expedition to Greenland. Tourism in this area consists mostly of polar cruises, but this 10-day adventure takes you through the raw, wild landscapes mostly on foot. You’ll take small boats through ice bergs, learn about local monsters from a local storyteller and go on a hiking trip to a remote eco-lodge on Lyngmark Mountain. Experience the midnight sun (the sun never goes down here in summer!), go on walks and hikes to spectacular viewpoints and maybe even spot a whale or two! With time for optional sea kayaking and whale watching cruises and a local leader by your side every step of the way – this may be the Expedition of a lifetime! You must have an excellent level of fitness and physical ability to take on this trip, as it includes multiple hikes – including your 2-day hiking exploration of Disko Island, where you’ll hike up to 4 hours on both days. Hiking poles are highly recommended and sturdy hiking boots are a must!Flights to Greenland from Denmark and Iceland, as well as additional accommodation in Nuuk or Ilulissat are in high demand over the summer months and availability is limited. We recommend checking what is available before requesting your trip and you will need to book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
