Are you keen for a different experience of the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Ilulissat Icefjord? Have you been curious about what an Arctic winter is like? Join us on this 5-day trip where you will experience all the top highlights of an Arctic winter in one of the most famous places in Greenland. Many of the pictures you see of Ilulissat and the enormous icebergs for which it is known are taken during the Summer when the majority of people visit. This tour offers an alternate adventure, where you will travel by snowshoe, snowmobile, dog sled and boat to explore the area around Greenland’s 3rd largest town. During your 5-day visit, you will see the incredible Ilulissat Icefjord from above and from the water-line, explore the back-country around the town via a modern (snowmobile) and ancient (dog sled) form of Winter transportation in the Arctic, and have the opportunity to witness one of the highlights of the darker months of the year – the colourful, dancing Northern Lights.
