The first day of this exhilarating kayaking and ice-trekking expedition brings you to Qaqortoq, South Greenland.  Upon arrival in you will be welcomed by your English speaking guide at the airport reception. From the Qaqortoq RIB boat transfer to Narsaq town awaits you.

In Narsaq you will stay overnight, and before heading to bed your guide will give you an introduction to the equipment you will be needing on your second day for kayaking.

Overnight in the Hostel.

Your second day of this expedition brings you to sea, both by zodiac (RIB Bota) and kayak.

We set off from Narsaq Harbour by zodiac and travel to Qingaarsup Island, from where we will start our kayak expedition to the Nuulussuaq peninsula.

You will be paddling along the fjord-coast in the company of your guide, navigating between icebergs.  This area is known for voyaging icebergs, that originates from the Eqalorutsit Glacier - at times, we have experienced that there are so much ice, we have to slow down the paddling and change route, due to Icebergs blocking our way.

Once we reach the Nuulussuaq Peninsula, we set up camp. From the campsite, you will be able to see the Greenland Ice Sheet – an impressively rewarding view, after a day of hard work. The evening can be spent fishing for Arctic salmon, gathering mushrooms and different berries.

Overnight in the tent.

We kayak to the glacier branch, Naajaat Sermiat.

En route, we will paddle through a set of islands, with waterfalls and luscious tundra, contrasting the blue sea and white icebergs. While you paddle to navigate around the icebergs in the most pristine fjord sceneries.

We will enter the Maniitsup Tunua Fjord,  and pass the peninsulas of Maniitsup, Niaqornap Nunaa and Nuulussuaq. We’ll be spending the night not far away from Naajaat Sermiat Glacier Font. The view of the Icecap will motivate you to explore even more of the Greenlandic wilderness.

Night in tents.

We set out from camp in kayaks, and sail around Akuliaruseq Island (Caribou Island). While sailing we can enjoy sights of flora and fauna.  We will navigate along the Qaleraliaq Fjord to arrive by our campsite at the Qaleraliaq glacier.

We camp on a small sandy beach, from where you can overlook the impressively large glacier brink of Qaleraliaq.  If weather, as well as our energy, allow, we will do a hike to a nearby viewpoint from where you can overlook the scenic landscape and spot caribou.

By night, settle into your tent, and enjoy the dramatic, but beautiful sounds of ice calving.

Night in tents.

We paddle four kilometres to the place from where your glacier trek will start.

Once you are equipped with crampons, your mountaineer-skilled guide will help you ascend onto the ice. Your time on the ice will be spent exploring the crevasses of ice and drains, all while your knowledgeable guide tells you all about the characteristics of the Ice Sheet and his/her experiences with glaciers.

After an exhilarating expeditionary hike on the Inland tounge, we continue the tour by kayak to the different glaciers in Qaleraliaq fjord. We won’t trek onto the glacier branches, but just sit in our kayaks and admire the beauty of the glacier brinks. Seeing the glacier brinks from seaside gives a unique perspective – gaze upon the magnificent size and admire the azure of ice descending into the surrounding mountain landscape.

We travel out to sea and paddle among the icebergs, that originate from the Qaleraliaq glacier tounges. We expect to reach Caribou Island, where we will stay overnight in tents.

The fjord landscapes you will paddle through during this 8-days are always changing – no fjord is the same, but every fjord provides you with incredible views of Greenland’s spectacular nature. If you are looking to disappear into the wilderness, this is the tour for you.

On your 6^th day, we stop by Qingaarsuup Island and enter Ikersuaq Fjord.

We’ll do a 15-mile paddle from Qaleraliaq to Qingaarsup. Through the large Ikersuaq Fjord. The fjord is famous for housing the travelling calved Icebergs of Eqalorutsit and Qorooq glacier, and seals and whales are no strangers in these waters.

We set up camp by the end of the day. Night in tents.

 We return to our start destination, Narsaq. The route of the 7^th day is dependent on the ice. We might cross the Ikerusaq Fjord and paddle to Stephensen bay to visit Tuttutoq Island. Why we choose to visit this exact island to visit, is due to the ruins of a former Inuit settlement. It's quite interesting to picture the settlement in its surroundings. If we have paddled for long, we can either continue to Narsaq by kayak or get picked up by zodiac boat, this all depends on the ice and current.

In Narsaq you have the time to explore on your own. You will be accommodated at the Kayak Hostel.

We transfer by Zodiac Boat to Qaqortoq. If we have time before your flight.

We bid you farewell for now.
