This is one of our classic and most beloved itineraries. However,
accommodation is upgraded and the famous Eqi Camp included!

The “grand tour” with guide is the tour of contrasts. Walking tours through
untouched nature. Small settlements, hunting communities and modern city life. Green mountains and icebergs. Flowering valleys and cold glaciers.
And now, the famous Ice Camp Eqi!

On this 12-days roundtrip you will experience almost everything there is to experience in Greenland. The trip ideally alternates between day-hikes in the Greenland nature, city sightseeing and transportation by boat, plane and coastal ship.
