3 Day Glacier Adventure | Kangerlussuaq

After your arrival you will be picked up to go to your accommodation unless you're staying at the hotel which is inside the airport building, About an hour after landing you will be picked up at your accommodation to go on a small hike to the top of the Sugarloaf mountain and then down to enjoy a majestic waterfall, where you can enjoy the sounds of running water, only disturbed by birds chattering above.

The area around Kangerlussuaq is a vast wonderland for every explorer! It is a landscape for the flower enthusiasts, wildlife admirer and those who just want to experience and explore the arctic landscape. This tour will give you the opportunity for all of the above and the joy of visiting a waterfall in Greenland. The tour will take about 4 hours.

We recommend dining in Restaurant Muskox situated by the hotel/airport. They have an excellent a la carte menu, and the speciality of the day offers a great dining experience.

Your adventure starts with you and your travel-companions conquering the remote dirt roads out of Kangerlussuaq. Kangerlussuaq is situated inland and therefore has a climate that is very diverse from the rest Greenland.

Enroute to Point 660 you might be lucky to spot one of the many wildlife that inhabits this area.  When arriving at Point 660, breathe in the fresh air and gaze upon the Greenland Icecap, that ranges as far as the eye can see. The dirt paths coincide with the white and blue ice sheet, giving you an excellent chance to explore it with your feet on the ice.

This is a once in a lifetime experience, that does not present itself any other place in Greenland. If the conditions allow, the chauffeur might even drive onto the ice cap - giving you the best possibilities of a memorable trip.

Tonight we recommend dining at Restaurant Roklubben, a famous restaurant situated a bit outside of the city by a lake. The a la carte menu is excellent but if you come on the right day they'll have a Greenlandic Buffet. You can book a table and transfer with us.

The flight starts from the former US military airport (Bluie west 8), which now is Greenland's biggest international airport - Kangerlussuaq Airport, also known as "Søndre Strømfjord". Before departure, you will be briefed by our skilled pilot. The pilot will brief you about the planned route, flight conditions and the possibilities of seeing wildlife, such as caribou or herds of muskoxen.

Regardless of where you are seated, there is a guarantee of great views from the large windows of the small plane. Onboard the pilot goes through the safety instructions and asks you to put on your headset, through which you can communicate.

Immediately after take-off, you will see Greenland from one of the very best angles. We are now heading for the amazing Icecap east of Kangerlussuaq, where we on our tour will slide over the fantastic flora and fauna of the inland of Greenland. On the way to the Icecap, you will be able to see giant gorges made by the retracting Icecap and one or two moraines. On the tour, you will be able to enjoy the various wildlife beneath you and experience the enormous Ice Cap. On the way back to Kangerlussuaq we fly over "Dessert Valley", an amazing area made by the melting ice where water flows down the huge rivers.

If you have time for lunch then go to the lunch buffet at restaurant muskox by the airport, or order something at the cafeteria.
