Experience the Icebergs north of Nuuk

April - October

Read more about the experience during winter further below

This excursion takes us into the Icefiord north of Nuuk, where most of the icebergs in and around Nuuk originates from.


Here, north of the abandoned settlement of Qoornoq, we’ll find a good spot among the ice where we can enjoy the views whilst listening to the glistening ice as bubbles of air are released when they slowly melt away.


The tour is operated with our own cabin boats with a heating system and indoor seatings for all. It is also possible to enjoy the cruise on the walkaround deck with comfortable seating outside.


Free coffee, tea and hot chocolate is complimentary. 

*As this is a full day tour of 6 hours, you should remember to bring lunch !!


Travellers choice #1


Experience sea ice deep in the fiord of Nuuk

 

Experience sea ice, deep in the fiord of Nuuk

November - March

On this tour, we sail deep into the fiord of Nuuk. During winter, there are far fewer icebergs, if any. However, a layer of fjord ice forms, and at some point, it becomes thick enough for us to walk on it, which is quite a unique experience.

 

It's about 2 hours of sailing to get to the sea ice, og the way we may be fortunate to spot seals or sea eagles, although it's never a guarantee


The goal of the tour is to at least get up close and cruise along the sea ice. We may shut off the engine to enjoy the silence of nature, and if the ice is thick enough, we'll try to walk on it. For winter bathers, it's possible to take a dip in the Arctic Ocean.

 

The tour will be with our own Targa boats with a heated cabin and indoor seating for all. It's also possible to go out on the deck and have a seat. There is also a toilet onboard.


As it is one of our longer tours we highly recommend that you bring some lunch. We'll make sure there is coffee, tea and hot chocolate.


Note that we take safety very seriously and it will only be possible to go on the ice if the captain deems it safe enough.
