Hike and Kayaking | South Greenland

Rise and shine for your first day in Greenland. The first day where your adventure will start off. We will leave the hostel to cross Erik The Red's fjord once again and visit Flower Valley. The Flower Valley is known for its unspoiled glacial and tundra scenery. Known for its green hills, massive mountains and pure valley. If you think I'm overestimating go watch the videos on youtube. Words cannot describe!

We will take you to see glaciers and to the Greenland Ice Sheet. And you will be climbing and hiking to reach your place for the night. You will be walking in the middle of nowhere - yet in the middle of everything: the pure nature.

The word of the day: hiking.

Today we will be hiking our way even further through Greenland's southern part. Your tour guide will take you to one of the biggest glaciers. Good to know: a glacier is fallen snow that compresses into ice masses. So to go seeing one of the biggest glaciers in all of Greenland - is quite a big thing. Everyday over 200 thousands tons of ice is streaming down into the sea. Have you always dreamed about seeing snow and ice as wide as the eye can wander? The 3rd day of your adventure will be just for you.

Overnight we'll be sleeping in tents nearby the above-mentioned glaciers.

Let's go to the highest peak in South Greenland - today. Have your camera ready to always remember the views from this place; the highest peak. See if you can spot some humpback whales or glaciers falling into the water. What you definitely will be spotting is icebergs, glaciers, fjords; nature.

After enjoying the incredible views at the highest peak we will, in the afternoon, find our way back to Narsarsuaq. We will leave by a zodiac boat and yet again cross the Eriksfjord.

When arriving in Qassiarsuk we will get you settled at the Leif Eriksson Hostel where you will be sleeping overnight. You can look forward to dinnertime where the hostel will serve up with traditional Greenlandic dishes.

The day is not over just yet. Before the traditional dinner, we will take you off the land ground again. This time to go to Qooroq Ice Fjord. Google this, and I won't need to say more. We'll go Iceberg spotting to hopefully see all different types of icebergs in all the different colors (white, green, turkey). The only thing you will be seeing is the Fjord, Ice, snow and icebergs. The only thing you will be hearing is ice falling off an Iceberg into the Fjord.

From early morning until night, the keyword of the day must be: explore the real Greenland.

After a good nights sleep and some fuel we are ready for yet another great day on this great Island.

Put on your hiking boots, because we will start our day off in an active way heading towards the pure nature. We will be trekking and hiking to a Fjord always full of icebergs. After a short trek we'll leave the land ground. You'll select some waterproof clothing and get instruction in how to be kayaking in the water safely. We wanna make sure that you're safe and secure, so you will be thoroughly instructed in the basics of security before making your first tour out on the deep blue water.

After our first day of kayaking we will trek our way back to the Tasiusaq Hostel where we will stay overnight.

Our first (real) day of kayaking. Imagine yourself paddling through ice and among giant icebergs. It will be you, your group, guide and nobody else in the middle of the bay. The only noise there will be, is the noise the nature creates by itself; moving icebergs, ice falling off an Iceberg and your kayak sliding through the water.

You may think: is this a bit risky? This tour has been completed a thousands times and you are always instructed and followed by a guide. Your safety comes first, always.

We will paddle our way towards our lunch stop which either will be on a small Island or on the coast.

So what is better than kayaking in the nature? Having the time to do so. We are in absolutely no rush. Our only goal is to paddle approximately 10 kms to our main destination. Here we will set up a camp on an isthmus and we this is where we will stay overnight in tents.

On the last day of this adventure, things will slowly ease on. You'll be hiking back to Qassiarsuk in the morning to get a quick shower before heading across the Eriksfjord to Narsarsuaq airport. While waiting in Narsarsuaq we highly recommend you to visit the Museum of the Blue West One American Base - untouched since the Second World War.

A flight will take you from Narsarsuaq back to either Keflavik airport or Copenhagen Airport.

When sitting, waiting for your flight back home, we really, truly hope and believe that you can say: that was worth every little penny.
