This trip will give you the highlights of winter Greenland; Experience its majestic landscapes from the viewpoint of a dog sled. Enjoy the fascinating relationship between man and dog working together in nature. Make sure to look up, the northern lights might be dancing above you. Observe enormous ice sculptures close up when going on a boat excursion among the icebergs. And take a walk just outside of town and take in all the impression of the magnificent Ilulissat icefjord and you will understand why this has been chosen to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Customer Reviews

“...But those views were nothing compared to the sight that awaited us as we rounded the corner to the main bay. A sea of icebergs stretching out to the horizon, barely a gap that wasn’t filled in. The scale of it was truly awe-inspiring, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. We sat there for ages staring at this otherworldly sea of frozen whites and blues, a stark contrast to us sitting in t-shirts, warm under the sun.”
