Day 1Upon arrival at Narsarsuaq Airport, report your arrival at the Blue Ice Explorers in the reception at the airport. They will make sure of your transport to the harbor and sail you to the village of Qassiarsuk. From here, a guide will welcome you!
Your luggage will be driven to your hostel and you will be shown directions to the hostel (the harbor is close to the hostel). A guide will show you your room upon arrival at the hostel and you will be informed what time dinner will be served.
You will have time to settle in and relax after your flight!
Qassiarsuk is formerly known as Brattahlid, as norse-Vikings used to inhabit the settlement until they suddenly disappeared during the 15th century. Today it is home to approximately 40 inhabitants, that live off the land.
The settlement is known for its charm, rugged hills, sheep, and tiny dirt roads - a scenic and idyllic setting!


Day 2The second day starts out with breakfast in the dining room. After your guide will match you with one of the Icelandic horses, that will be your companion during your stay in Greenland. To ensure that you are comfortable with your horse we will do a short and slow-paced ride.
After the intro of 3 hours, lunch will be served in the dining room, and for the rest of the day you are free to do whatever you want! Dinner will be served at 18:00 followed by a delicious dessert.

Day 3Today you will be embarking on a two-day adventure to the farm of Tasiusaq.
To reach the farm you will be riding through 17 kilometers of extraordinary terrain. Rugged hills, tundra, and mountains for you to enjoy from horseback. Halfway through we will enjoy a nice lunch in the mountains. Before reaching the farm we will ride through Qorlortup Itinnera, a small farm set in a valley of lush mountains with a small creek flowing through.
Once you have uncovered the 17 kilometers you will be arriving in Tasiusaq, which is beautifully situated next to a small bay, where icebergs, from a nearby glacier, gather - creating a picturesque setting for your night stay.
Take advantage of the spectacular scenery. Head down to the water, hike the surrounding landscape, or relax by the farm.

Dinner will be served at 18:00 followed by dessert.
