Plan your trip to Greenland

At first, I was unsure whether to book the tour to the Eqi Glacier, as it took up a full day (9 hours) and I only had a few days in Ilulissat. However, the trip on the icebreaker with our guide Esbjörn turned out to be one of the most magnificent experiences of my life. We sailed through amounts of sparkling ice amidst a brilliant white snowy landscape, passing waterfalls, seals, and icebergs. The sun broke through the clouds, creating breathtaking photo opportunities. Finally, we spent an hour and a half in front of the Eqi Glacier’s 200-meter-high calving face, watching as massive icebergs broke off right before our eyes and the entire ice mass shifted. Rarely have I felt so speechless and tiny in the face of such a powerful natural force. It was an experience I will never forget!

A note for anyone who suffers from seasickness (like me):
There were some waves during the first 30-60 minutes, so I would recommend taking a pill before setting off. It is best to go outside into the cool air and look at the horizon. I was totally fine then. The rest of the trip was very relaxing. With the right preparation, it is an easy journey to make.

The evening kayaking among the icebergs with Bibi was an amazing experience and one of my trip's highlights! It is absolutely suitable also for guests with no or little kayaking experience. The provided clothes kept us warm and dry while kayaking slowly among the icebergs under the midnight sun. I felt very comfortable and safe and highly recommend this tour.

The tour to Oqaatsut was a wonderful experience. It was the first boat trip among the icebergs on my trip, and there were plenty of opportunities to take great photos. Along the way, we could warm up inside the boat, and coffee was also served. Upon arrival in Oqaatsut (we took the day tour), we were served a platter of Greenlandic specialties - fish and meat, nothing "exotic" like whale or seal, don't worry - at a very cozy restaurant, and I also tried the local crowberry beer, which was delicious. Afterwards, we took a short tour through the village. Although only few people live there, they have everything necessary for daily life, even a church, a school and a stage for music. It was impressive to see how the residents have created a beautiful and livable environment for themselves, despite their isolation.

I went in June and was beautiful. If you brave you can also swim. Coffee tea cookies provided on board.

I took this excursion on 26-May-2026 and if far surpassed my expectations. Our boat captain Mark and his first mate(I forget her name) were absolutely amazing and very knowledgeable. We saw whales, caribou and so many different types of birds. The highlight of the trip was the ice fjord. Seeing all the icebergs and spending time in the ice field was amazing. The glass of whiskey with glacial ice was an amazing touch. I would recommend this tour over and over again. It was definitely the highlight of my visit to Nuuk.

Had an amazing boat trip with the family. The tour guides were super friendly and the boat was really high quality. Being able to sit both inside and outside to see the beautiful scenery was incredible. Great value!

Do yourself a favor and go on this amazing combo tour, one of the best things I did in Ilulissat! You are in perfectly safe hands with Rikke, can’t recommend her enough 🇬🇱❤️🚣‍♀️

One of the best trips ever! Fantastic crew, amazing boat and really nice company! Got to see glacier waterfalls, a small whale, reindeer and ofc the ice caps in the Nuuk Icefjord. Can't thank the crew enough who made it the experience of a lifetime!

An absolutely unforgettable experience. Kayaking among the icebergs of Disko Bay is something no photograph can truly capture. The guide Rikke was warm, professional, and struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe and giving us the freedom to feel completely alone on the water. Equipment was excellent and we were kept comfortable throughout. Highly, highly recommend — one of the most spectacular tours.

This trip was fantastic. The Icefjord is a real photographer's paradise

I went with my adult son. Greenland weather in Spring can be very unpredictable. The day before was perfect with sun. The next day on the tour, it was rainy and windy. We met at the office than were driven to the dock to board. Wind was coming from the bow and was very chilly. However, we had a great time watching all the icebergs. We did not get to see any wild animals. This is definitely a highlight if you are going to visit Ilulissat.

Loved our tour! Beautiful views and friendly crew answered all of our questions. Highlight of our trip!

Great trip, professional guides!

Sjovt og smuk tur med nogle skønne guides. Det skal man prøve i Ilulissat!!

In truth, I wasn't expecting much before this tour began, as I booked it more as something extra to do, but from start to finish everyone was perfect, and consumate professionals - it ended-up being one of the main highlights of my trip. They made sure we were suitably kitted-out, as it was cold. I had the sled to myself, and my guide was a very friendly, hospitable young man, who was obviously passionate about what he does. He gave me alot of background to the history of dog-sledding. The tour also ended-up being longer than originally advertised, which was a bonus! I would happily do again when I return to Ilulissat.
