Imposing icebergs and migrating whales
During this varied nine-day adventure through West Greenland, you will explore the breathtaking and diverse landscapes of Kangerlussuaq, go on a mini-expedition on an ice cap armed with crampons and walking sticks, and sail among majestic icebergs of all colors on the Ilulissat Icefjord. In Diskobay you will search for the different species of migrating whales after which you can recover from all the overwhelming impressions while immersing yourself in the city life of small yet vibrant Nuuk.
Spectacular views, arctic wildlife and history
You will fly from destination to destination enjoying spectacular views of Greenland's dramatic landscapes along the way. On land, reindeer and musk oxen pass before your eyes and Arctic seabirds circle overhead in the sky. But there is no shortage of culture either; you will be introduced to the charming old town of Ilulissat and learn more about the area's rich history as a settlement for various Inuit cultures. A complete trip with unique activities you won't soon forget!
