After having settled in at your hotel we suggest you go explore the town of Ilulissat. Ilulissat means icebergs, you will understand why when you get there. It is a must to go to the World Heritage Site, Ilulissat Icefjord, which can be seen from just outside of town. We recommend you to join a guided city walk and/or a guided snowshoe hike to the icefjord as the guides make sure that you visit the best places and viewpoints and the gives you an insight and understanding of the Greenlandic culture and history, which will give the other experiences a new perspective.

Dog sledding is an Inuit tradition dating back 2000 years, it is also simply something that you must try at least once in your life. This dog sledding adventure is a perfect place to start. Imagine sliding across the snow at a leisurely pace with panting, energetic dogs out in front and a knowledgeable sled driver as musher. This tour will take you far off the beaten track in the surreal white landscapes of Greenland.

During the year more than 46 km3 of ice flow out into Ilulissat icefiord. The result is gigantic icebergs, which can be more than 100 m (330 ft) on each side and with a height on more than 100 m (330 ft) above the water surface. These giants strand at the end of the fjord, and that gives a good opportunity to sail among them during our 2.5-hour boat excursion. An exceptional experience!

If the circumstances are right, there is a chance of northern lights during the winter nights in Ilulissat, so don’t forget to look out or join one of the northern light tours that are organised (not included in this package).

This last day in Ilulissat can be spent buying the last souvenirs or maybe paying the town museum a visit, which is also the birthplace of the famous polar explorer, Knud Rasmussen.

Please note

• It is likely that you will see northern lights during your stay, but we can of course not guarantee it as it depends on the aurora activity and the cloud cover in the area.
