Two popular places in 8 days - Inland Ice Cap and UNESCO icefiord

Bestseller! Summer, sun and huge icebergs

Get close to the Inland Ice Cap and UNESCO site Ilulissat icefiord with the famous and very huge icebergs – all of it in the magical glow of the midnight sun.

A trip to Greenland is an experience entirely on the nature’s terms and on this 8 day visit you get a close up encounter with the nature: Ice cap and glaciers in Kangerlussuaq and ice and more ice in Ilulissat beautifully accompanied by Greenland’s unique culture and traditional life style in contrast to the influence of the modern way of life.

The contrasts in Greenland are coming to their right during the summer months. Strong sunlight is replaced by foggy mist. Brown mountains with hints of green are fighting a brave battle against icebergs in shades ranging from pale to turquoise. Deserted, pristine areas right next to the towns with the characteristic houses in bright colors. The light is also unique. And with the midnight sun's soft glow around the clock the forces of nature come very close!

Itinerary - day for day

With English speaking tour guide
  • DAY 1: Copenhagen – Kangerlussuaq, check in at Polar Lodge

    Indlandsisen i Grønland ved Kangerlussuaq

    Air Greenland flies from Copenhagen to Kangerlussuaq and gives you 4 hours to prepare yourself for a world of its own. During the flight you can enjoy a meal, a movie as well as the first sight of nunataks and the ice cap.

    Upon arrival you are welcomed by a guide from the our local partner who will help you to check in at Polar Lodge. A cosy and newly renovated accommodation right in the heart of Kangerlussuaq and only a glance from the fascinating nature. At the following information meeting the guide tells you about the area and the many excursions available.

    Kangerlussuaq is beautifully situated between soft hills and close to the ice cap. It is the only place in Greenland where you can experience both reindeer and musk oxen. Kangerlussuaq is also the perfect place to see and step up on the legendary ice cap which covers 82% of Greenland. Join a guided trip to the Ice Cap and see it for yourself.
  • DAY 2: Flight Kangerlussuaq – Ilulissat, check in at Hotel Icefiord

    Isfjorden ved Ilulissat i Diskobugten i Grønland

    The trip continues with flight to Ilulissat. Ilulissat means icebergs which needs no further explanation once you see the beautiful ice fjord and the numerous icebergs floating majestically around out in the fjord with an almost magical light and the reflections from the sun.

    Upon arrival you are transferred to Hotel Icefiord amazingly situated with a view over the famous ice fjord. Even the most experienced traveller is blown away at this unique sight. At the following information meeting a guide from World of Greenland will inform you about Ilulissat and the wide range of excursions. You are now prepared for the next couple of days filled with adventures.
  • DAY 3: Adventures in and around Ilulissat

    Ilulissat i Grønland

    Ilulissat is located at the mouth of the 60 kilometre long and world famous ice fjord Kangia, which in 2004 was included on UNESCO’s world heritage list. The ice is enthralling and can be experienced out on the sea, on land and from the air.

    The hometown of the explorer Knud Rasmussen offers many exciting experiences no matter if you want to do hiking trips in the hills or merely enjoy the cosy atmosphere in the town on your own or on guided excursions.

    The tourist office World of Greenland – with office right in the centre of Ilulissat – covers the entire spectrum and invites you to experience the town’s ideal mix of authentic Inuit culture and a modern society and its strong connection with the fascinating nature.

  • DAY 4: Adventures in and around Ilulissat

    Ilulissat Isfjord i midnatssolen i Grønland

    A day on your own in Ilulissat. We recommend:

    Experience the Icefiord from land, see or air
    A sailing trip out on the ice fjord in day or night time in the glow of the midnight sun is a wonderful experience. Kangia produces some of the world’s largest icebergs and only from a boat you’ll get a true impression of the actual size and beauty of these floating ice giants. It is also possible to go on a helicopter trip to Kangia with a stop where you’ll have the most astonishing view over the entire glacier. On the way to the glacier you fly over the packed ice in the fjord – it is unavoidable to feel a rush.

  • DAY 5: Adventures in and around Ilulissat

    Eqi gletscheren i Grønland

    A day on your own in Ilulissat. We recommend:

    Visit to settlements
    Or how about a sailing trip to the settlements Oqaatsut or Ilimanaq – a tremendous experience where time stands still. It gives you a unique chance of getting close to the traditional culture and sets your everyday life in a new perspective!

  • DAY 6: Adventures in and around Ilulissat

    Bygden Rodebay i Grønland

    A day on your own in Ilulissat. We recommend:

    For those interested in polar history
    Are you interested in history you may want to join a culture historical walk, where you get an introduction to Greenland from the colonial time to today. The walk includes a visit to the open market, Knud Rasmussen’s birthplace which today is the town’s museum and the beautiful wooden Zion church right in front of the ice fjord.

  • DAY 7: Adventures in and around Ilulissat

    Sejlads ved Isfjorden i Grønland

    A day on your own in Ilulissat. We recommend:

    Easy hikes along the Icefiord
    The area around Ilulissat also invites to shorter and longer hiking trips – for example to the abandoned settlement Sermermiut and along the impressive ice fjord. You should also allow yourself to stroll around the town at your own pace – remember the camera and make sure to capture the soft tumbling sled dog puppies that enjoy their freedom with a bunch of kids in their tales.

    or

    Calving glacier Eqip Sermia
    Another unique experience is a sailing trip to the calving glacier Eqip Sermia. The glacier runs out into the fjord 80 kilometres north of Ilulissat and it is possible to go all the way into the edge of the glacier by boat and see huge ice pieces calve – from a safe distance. The sailing trip to Eqi takes you up north along the coast, passing Bredebugt, the settlement Oqaatsut and the huge fjord system Pakitsoq often visited by whales and seals. Before we reach Eqi the trip continues through Attaa Strait surrounded by high steep mountains with birds and waterfalls.

    The glacier is more than 3.4 kilometre wide and the average height from the bed to the top is about 200 metres of which 30 to 80 metres are above sea level. In front of the glacier there are 14 cosy cabins – all with a terrace facing the glacier. A breathtaking experience rich in impressions.

  • DAY 8: Ilulissat-Kangerlussuaq-Copenhagen

    Midnatssol i Grønland

    With a last view over the ice fjord and the captivating icebergs the flight takes you back to Kangerlussuaq and onwards to Copenhagen with arrival in the evening.
