1-Day Boat Trip to Disko island & Kuannit Hike | Qeqertarsuaq

Join us on a day trip to the stunning volcanic island of Qeqertarsuaq, renowned for its remarkable nature across Disko Bay. Our adventure begins with a sail from Ilulissat to the town of Qeqertarsuaq. Enjoy a small breakfast and coffee onboard while marveling at the mesmerizing sea and towering icebergs. You will be sailing approximately 2,5 hours covering a distance of 80km. Upon arrival, you will have some time to explore the charming town before we hike to the breathtaking Kuannit. Our guide will lead the way and share insights about the island's unique natural features along the way. At Kuannit, savor a lunch made from local ingredients, with views of the sea and dramatic rock formations. After our hike, we will return to Ilulissat by boat. Onboard, you can relax with a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, reflecting on the day's adventures. We plan to be back at Ilulissat at 17:30 (depending on weather and ice conditions).
