Visit the beautiful Qoornoq Island by booking this 4-hour boat trip! This tour is for those who would like to experience one of Nuuk Fjords, most interesting destinations of incredible nature and Greenlandic history.  This experience should not be missed those visitors of Greenland's capital, Nuuk, who are passionate about the country's history and spectacular nature.

Sailing into Nuuk's complicated fjord system, we will pass the iconic Sermitsiaq Mountain and enter second second-largest Fjord system in Greenland- Nuuk Fjord. 

By the settlement, you will go ashore.  Please note that there is no bridge/pontoon, so you will need to get out of the boat Greenlandic way (finding a good place and stepping out on the rocks).

After a walk between the few houses and the surrounding tundra, we will continue our journey to the other side of the island. This is where we will explore the old fish factory. 

Qoornoq Island is close to the Nuuk icefjord, so often we will see icebergs on the way or stuck in front of the settlement, or even on the shore where you can go next to them and get some cool pictures.

If we have extra time on the way back to Nuuk, we will sail past the waterfall, where we will stay and listen to the sound of the running water.

    What a great trip! The view through the fjords was incredible. We stopped on the way to have a look at the icebergs from up close. W even saw eagles and seals. The guide was very friendly and answered all the questions. I’d definitely recommend this trip.

    Incredible day trip to this little settlement! We were able to get off the boat and walk around the old Cod factory while the guide told us stories about its history and her own personal stories as a kid visiting the island. There were TONS of little icebergs on the shore which were amazing to see! Super unique trip, and not to mention the views throughout the fjord were spectacular!

    Almost nothing described in the leaflet has been delivered (tour on 11th of May 2025, started at 15:30). We were five cramped in a small boat, like sardines. When walking on the island, be aware there is no pier, you have to jump from the boat on a slippery rock. On the island there is no trail, quite challenging to walk on grass, snow and rocks
