Greenland Expedition
Hike on glaciers, cruise through ice fjords and visit small settlements steeped in mythology on this Expedition to Greenland. Tourism in this area consists mostly of polar cruises, but this 10-day adventure takes you through the raw, wild landscapes mostly on foot. You’ll take small boats through ice bergs, learn about local monsters from a local storyteller and go on a hiking trip to a remote eco-lodge on Lyngmark Mountain. Experience the midnight sun (the sun never goes down here in summer!), go on walks and hikes to spectacular viewpoints and maybe even spot a whale or two! With time for optional sea kayaking and whale watching cruises and a local leader by your side every step of the way – this may be the Expedition of a lifetime!

- Explore Greenland away from the tourist track of polar cruise ships and contribute to the sustainable tourism of a country seldom explored on foot.
- Experience the midnight sun – this trip will only operate during Greenland’s summer, which means the sun never really sets! Make the most of this eerie phenomenon with optional sea kayaking, boat cruise or sailing adventures.
- Learn about Greenlandic culture and mythology during a storytelling experience with a local and a kaffemik experience, where you’ll step into a local’s home to learn why coffee and cake is such an important practice.
- Visit small settlements, seldom explored by curious travellers, and head to Disko Island – ‘like all of Greenland encapsulated in one island’ – to soak up the raw landscape of a land surrounded by ice.
