Welcome to Ilulissat, Disko Bay

Your first day. You will set out on your multiday tour to Ilulissat.

Whether you are arriving by flight or boat from overseas or a Greenlandic town, you will meet us for transfer to your accommodation. While driving through town, you will be amazed at how beautiful everything is, from the views of the voyaging icebergs of Ilulissat Icefjord to the mountain landscape behind the city.

Ilulissat is one of the most sought-after towns in Greenland. It is known for its Arctic wonders of Ilulissat Icefjord, Sermermiut Valley and the Disko Bay. We will take you to the heart of the wild and beautiful Greenlandic nature, on the different excursions this itinerary offers.

Once you have settled into your room, you have the rest of the day to explore Ilulissat and its sheer wealth of restaurants and shops. If you are eager to start your exploration (and your arrival time fits) book an optional city walk to get the most of your time.

Exploration of Sermermiut Valley

Today, you will be enjoying the views of Sermermiut Valley.

You will meet your guide at the departure destination in town. From here, the tour continues out of town.  You will be hiking on the wooden boardwalk to Sermermiut Valley.

Sermermiut valley is a UNESCO protected archaeological site, known for its ruins of turf huts dating back to the Thule culture, and its spectacular views of Icefjord entering.  While conquering the boardwalk, your knowledgeable guide will tell you about the history of the place.

Dinner can be enjoyed at Hotel Avaana.

Sailing among icebergs

You have the day to yourself, and the evening dedicated to Ilulissat Icefjord.  Since you are departing for your boat trip among icebergs in the evening, we recommend that you book an optional in-town adventure. For an insight into the history of Greenland’s third largest and a glimpse of Greenlandic culture, our guests take pleasure in joining a guided city walk.

By evening you will be heading out on Ilulissat Icefjord for a boat tour among the icebergs.

With a local captain, you will be navigating around the giant icebergs to admire the spectacular scenery. The scenery of towering icebergs for as long as the eye can see is what you will be gazing upon.  Whales and seals are no strangers to these waters, why you should keep an eye out for the playful sea creatures.

The awesomeness of this impressive natural wonder will give you a true understanding of the grandeur of Greenlandic nature.

Sailing to the Eqi glacier or Settlement visit

The day is at your leisure.

If you are fascinated by the wonders of the Arctic, we suggest that you add a tour to the Eqi Glacier. The tour brings you by boat, to the Eqi glacier, which is located in a fjord branch of Disko Bay. On-site, you will be gazing upon the 3-kilometre-long glacier wall, that steeply rises into the surrounding mountain landscape.

It is also possible to visit the settlement of Oqaatsut. The tour to Oqaatsut is authentic. You will travel by boat to the small settlement, where you will be kayaking around icebergs, tasting local cuisine and learn about Inuit culture
