UTV Glacier Expedition | Ilulissat - Ilimanaq | Disko Bay

Join this ride into the wilderness south of Iliminaq, leading to the soaring Icecap of Greenland! It is the only tour in Disko Bay where you can step on the Greenland ice sheet!

You will start an adventure in Ilulissat harbor, together with fellow explorers you will head on to a boat and travel through the ice-packed passages to cross the Ilulissat Icefjord to another side.

We will make a quick stop in the small settlement of Ilimanaq to get other passengers (if there are any). After a short landing in Ilimanaq, you will head back to the sea for the highlight of the adventure.

When arriving at the beach south of Ilimanaq, your next destination is the Tasiusaq fjord, where you will drive on a UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) through the untouched arctic tundra. Tasiusaq fjord has been a popular place since ancient times, and Inuit migrate waves have been coming and going since they first arrived in Greenland.

The last bit to reach the glacier is by speed boat through the stunning fjord system. Yes, we will jump in the boat again to get to another side where we can step on the ice cep. It is a part of the adventure to help push out the boat and jump in it! 

Before venturing onto the ice, you will have a little break to enjoy the lunch pack and the amazing views.

The huge glacier walls, will decorate any visiting explorer and welcome you into its home. When getting up on the glacier, you will get the impression of an infinite glacier, stretching 1000 of kilometers in each direction, that will emotionally drain you with its beauty.

We will have a short walk on the glacier, take pictures, and drink pure glacier-melting water, so don't forget your water bottle. After that, we will head back home to Ilulissat. 

You will be back in Ilulissat at 17:00, please note from August month it could take longer time to sail across Ilulissat Icefjord due to ice. In August and September, return time is from 17:00 to 19:00 depending on the ice conditions.
