Tours of Greenland

Icefjords and Remote Villages of East Greenland

With its vast central icecap and rugged, fjord-cut eastern coastline, Greenland has one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. This hiking holiday on the Arctic Circle shows this off to great effect, as we explore amongst the fjords and viewpoint around Ammassalik Island. Arriving at Kulusuk, we have a day to explore rugged Kulusuk Island on foot, before a long boat transfer takes us north to the remote Inuit village of Kuummiut. Here, we hike beside Tunu Fjord and make an ascent of Kuummiut Mountain (1050m) with views that extend to the Greenland Icecap. A second exciting boat transfer then takes us to iceberg-filled Sermilik Fjord and the fishing and hunting settlement at Tiniteqilaaq. After more exploration amongst rocky peaks and spires, surrounded by an ocean that is frozen for more than half of the year, we trek back across Ammassalik Island to Tasiilaq, with its colourful houses, friendly people, howling sled dogs, smiling kids and pioneering spirit. This is an unforgettable tour for those who seek a different and unique experience and a real wilderness adventure.
