Highlights
SEASON: Mid-June to Late August
09:00 Board a flight from Copenhagen to Ilulissat via a connection at Kangerlussuaq.
15:00 Check in to your hotel, which is the northernmost 4-star hotel in the world.
16:30 Embark upon the Ilulissat Guided Tour. The guide will tell you about the town's history, Greenlandic culture, and modern life 300 km north of the Arctic Circle. Stop at several places along the way and say hello to the fishermen at the harbour and the hunters at "brættet." Pass the famous polar explorer Knud Rasmussen's birthplace and the old wooden Zion church.
18:00 Enjoy a tasty welcome dinner back at your hotel
20:10 Boat tour for Iceberg Sightseeing. More than 48 km3 of ice flows into the fjord during one year. The result is gigantic icebergs, more than 100 metres wide and more than 100 metres above the water's surface. Icebergs are beautiful in every kind of weather. On sunny days they glitter in shiny white, the blue shades are best seen when it is cloudy, and the midnight sun casts a unique, warm glow on the icebergs.
12:00 Enjoy a thrilling Whale Safari. It is usually the humpback whale, minke whale, and fin whale we see in the summer. Despite being up to 18 metres and 30 tons, the humpback whale is the acrobat among the great whales. We are in radio contact with Ilulissat's fishermen and other tourist operators, so we can almost always find the whales.
15:00 Explore the Sermermiut Settlement. For 4000 years, different Inuit cultures lived in this settlement, and today you can still see remains that indicate their presence. The guide tells stories about the Inuit people's life and traditions before the Europeans came to Greenland. See turf hut ruins and touch the permafrost with your own hands. The area is so outstanding that UNESCO named it World Heritage in 2004.
14:00 Transfer to the Equi Glacier via boat. The glacier runs into a fjord approximately 80 km north of Ilulissat. By boat, you can get very close to the glacier and see huge pieces of ice breaking off.
15:50 Check in to your accommodation at Eqi, where you can get stunning views of the Eqi Glacier from multiple angles.
Enjoy a day in Eqi at your leisure. Orient yourself with the region, try out some local food and photograph one of the most iconic glaciers in the world.

10:00 On this trip, sail south of Ilimanaq to Itilliup Ilua. You are dropped off on the wide sandy beach, where we drive in off-road vehicles through the Arctic tundra until we reach the Tasiusaq Fjord system. From here, sail further deep in between the icebergs to the end of the fjord, where the two glaciers and the ice sheet come into view. Post lunch, you have the opportunity to hike on an enormous ice sheet.
