Highlights of the Arctic winter in 5 days | Ilulissat | Disko Bay

Are you keen on experiencing 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, dogsled 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 (dogsled) 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.

Additional Information

• If traveling alone, you must choose the single room supplement when booking this tour.
• Please note that this tour does not include flights to and from Ilulissat, or meals during your stay at our guesthouse.
• Trips to Greenland are always subject to weather conditions. Delays and flight cancellations can happen. We therefore strongly recommend that you do not book onward international flights directly after your trip to Greenland. Give yourself at least one extra day to make an international connection. We also recommend purchasing travel insurance that will cover any expenses should your flights be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather.
• The airlines that fly to Greenland only allow 20 kg of checked-in baggage. If you go over this limit, there is a fee (often strictly enforced) for the extra weight.
• It is important to bring cash in the form of Danish Krona to Greenland. While credit cards are accepted in larger locations (eg hotels, supermarkets), they may not be accepted elsewhere. Foreign currency is often not accepted.

BOOK EARLY
The earlier you book your trip, the better the prices will be, and the more likely you will be able to book the tour you want for the dates/times you want.

Package tours can be sold out more than half a year in advance (note that Guide to Greenland does not include international flights in packages, except where indicated from Iceland or Denmark).

We recommend that you secure all of your experiences by booking them well in advance of your trip.
