Ice fishing | Uummannaq | North Greenland

If you’re an avid fisherman or just looking for a completely unique experience, this is the tour for you!

You will travel with snowmobiles to one of our guides favourite fishing spots. Here you will make a hole in the ice with a Tooq, a traditional tool, which in the hands of hunters looks easy, but make no mistake, it’ll get you warm no matter how cold it is outside. Out here on the vast stretches of sea ice, it is possible to catch Greenlandic Halibut, Redfish and Wolffish. You will need a line that is up to 500 metres long, so it isn’t just a walk in the park. But the thrill of pulling up a fish that can grow up to well over 40 kgs, and a tasty one at that, will leave you excited for days.

It is also traditional in Greenland to celebrate whenever you catch something new for the first time, it is called ‘Pernarneq’, and it is something to be proud of. For your Pernarnaq moment, select your preferred date and click ​Book Now​ to reserve your place.
