Discover Greenland in the summer

A mighty landscape with wild and unspoiled nature.
Greenland offers endless vistas and a stillness enveloped in a beautiful light.

Inland ice covers the majority of Greenland. In the summer, the ice-free coastal line is a fantastic panorama of mountains, inlets and bays. In other words, a unique area for kayaking.

 

We will also do some light mountain walking to a peak with a view of the inland ice.

 
The tour in brief:

 

-  Arctic atmosphere with kayaking between icebergs.

-  This trip is suitable for paddlers with limited kayaking experience. We will be using sturdy two-person kayaks.

-   There is a good chance that we will encounter some whales.

-   The tour will extend to the sparsely populated eastern coast, which we can reach via Iceland. We will travel by plane to the village of Kulusuk and from there by boat to the actual starting point.

- The tempo will be casual with 4-6 hours of paddling per day.

- We will stay overnight in tents and prepare our own food with camping stoves.
