Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
  • Kangerlussuaq, Greenland
Kangerlussuaq sits at the end of a 190-kilometer (118-mile) fjord and provides rare road access to Greenland's vast interior. Today, we aim to offer a choice of active experiences across a landscape shaped by ice, rock, and tundra. Final options will depend on permits, weather, surface conditions, and local operations. Greenland Ice Sheet Hike - Limited Places Journey towards Point 660, where the road ends at the edge of the ice: After a safety briefing and equipment fitting, step into crampons and follow an experienced guide onto the Greenland Ice Sheet. Move across an extraordinary frozen surface of ridges, channels, and ancient blue ice while learning how this immense body of ice continues to shape Greenland and influence the planet. Previous crampon experience is not required, but good fitness, balance, and mobility are essential. Point 660 and Russell Glacier: Discover two of Kangerlussuaq's defining ice landscapes. Stand at Point 660 for sweeping views across the ice sheet, then continue towards Russell Glacier, where a towering wall of compressed ice rises above the surrounding moraine. Short walks and viewpoints reveal the glacier's immense scale and the raw terrain left behind by its movement. Tundra Wildlife Safari: Head into the broad glacial valleys surrounding Kangerlussuaq in search of musk oxen, reindeer, and Arctic birdlife. Explore by vehicle and on foot, scanning the open tundra with local guides who understand the animals, seasonal conditions, and subtle signs of movement across this expansive landscape. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the search is all part of the adventure. Kayakers will aim to launch in Kangerlussuaq Fjord, following a route selected for the day's conditions and operating separately from the inland excursions. ...

Sisimiut, Greenland
  • Sisimiut, Greenland
After sailing north across the Arctic Circle, we arrive in Sisimiut, Greenland's second-largest city and an outdoor-adventure hub framed by mountains, sea, and open tundra. Colorful houses climb the rocky slopes above the harbor, while the old blue church and its whalebone gate offer a glimpse into the city's distinctive character. People have lived in this region for approximately 4,500 years. The Saqqaq, Dorset, and Thule cultures each left traces across the landscape, and modern Sisimiut remains a vibrant center of Greenlandic life, where traditional knowledge, fishing, and hunting coexist with contemporary Arctic culture. Today is about choosing how far you want to go. Strong hikers may tackle a section of the legendary Arctic Circle Trail, which begins beyond Sisimiut and stretches through Greenland's backcountry towards Kangerlussuaq. Another option includes climbing towards Nasaasaaq, the rugged mountain dominating the city, where steep terrain is rewarded with far-reaching views. If bikes and local permissions can be secured, we also hope to explore Sisimiut on two wheels, linking the harbor, neighborhoods, and surrounding trails. Shorter guided walks will reveal coastal viewpoints, colorful streets, and cultural landmarks at a more relaxed pace. Final routes and activities remain subject to conditions, access, and group safety. Meanwhile, kayaking-program participants may trace Sisimiut's rocky coastline, sheltered bays, or small islands beneath the city's dramatic mountain backdrop. ...

  • Jakobshavn, Greenland
Ilulissat means 'icebergs', and the name could not be more fitting. Nearby Sermeq Kujalleq-also known as Jakobshavn Glacier-moves with extraordinary speed, releasing immense volumes of ice into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ilulissat Icefjord and Disko Bay. The result is a constantly changing procession of icebergs, some rising like mountains above the sea. Set out on foot along the Icefjord trail network, crossing open rock and tundra towards viewpoints over the ice-filled fjord. Choose a route suited to your energy and experience, from a shorter walk to a more sustained hike revealing the landscape from different angles. The sound of shifting ice and the scale of the frozen panorama make this one of Greenland's most powerful experiences. There may also be time to visit the architecturally striking Icefjord Centre and learn more about the glacier, its surrounding environment, and thousands of years of human connection to this place. ...

  • Qeqertarsuaq
Over the next three days, we leave the timetable behind. Ice, weather, and opportunity will shape our exploration of Disko Bay and its surrounding fjords. We may Zodiac cruise among sculpted icebergs, scout a remote shore for an unplanned hike, or visit a rarely reached community. The kayaking group may seek out a longer paddle in sheltered water, while everyone can keep watch for humpback and minke whales, seals, and seabirds as the adventure unfolds. Volcanic Disko Island rises dramatically from the bay, its black-sand beaches, broad valleys, and dark mountains contrasting with the granite landscapes found elsewhere in Greenland. We plan to use Qeqertarsuaq as a launch point for some of the voyage's biggest adventures, while retaining the freedom to adapt to local conditions. The headline challenge is the hike towards Lyngmark Glacier. Beginning near sea level, the route climbs steadily through tundra and mountain terrain, gaining around 800 meters (2,625 feet) towards the ice above Qeqertarsuaq. It is a demanding day requiring strong fitness, sure footing, and stamina, but the reward is an immense panorama across Disko Bay, scattered islands, and drifting icebergs. Snow, trail, and glacier conditions will determine how far the group can safely progress. For a more moderate challenge, the Kuannit trail follows the coast through tundra and volcanic terrain to basalt columns, freshwater springs, and open views across the bay, with continued opportunities to watch for whales and seabirds. Beyond these planned highlights, conditions may open the door to additional hikes, Zodiac cruises, kayaking, or a community visit. Routes, landings, and activities remain subject to weather, ice, permits, and the Expedition Team's assessment-but with three days in the region, we have time to pursue the strongest opportunities across Disko Island and its surrounds. Throughout our time in the region, kayakers will aim to explore Disko Island's volcanic coastline and sheltered, iceberg-filled bays whenever conditions allow. ...

Return to Kangerlussuaq, where we farewell the crew and Expedition Team before transferring to the airport for your charter flight to Reykjavik. On arrival, continue your onward journey with the satisfaction of having explored Greenland under your own power-on ice, trail, water, and tundra. Note: Our arrival time in Reykjavik depends on the allocated charter-flight slots, which we expect to receive in March 2028. Consider allowing flexibility when arranging onward travel. ...
