You fly from Billund to Greenland’s capital, Nuuk. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our local representative, who ensures that you are comfortably checked in at the centrally located Hotel Hans Egede Express.

City Tour (included in the excursion package)

After check-in, you can join a guided city tour, where you will be introduced to the town’s history, architecture, and everyday life — from the old Colonial Harbor to modern cultural venues.

In the evening, we recommend dinner at one of the town’s inviting restaurants, where Greenlandic ingredients and views of the fjord set the tone for the rest of your journey.

After breakfast, one of Greenland’s most beautiful natural experiences awaits you: a boat trip through Nuuk’s impressive fjord system.

Fjord Adventure (included in the excursion package)

You glide through the icy Arctic waters, surrounded by majestic mountains, and truly feel the power of nature. Along the way, you may be lucky enough to spot sea eagles, seals, and even whales in certain seasons, while the guide shares stories about the area’s nature, history, and local life. The tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the Arctic wilderness from the water and feel the silence and grandeur that only Nuuk’s fjords can deliver.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure — perhaps with a walk through town or a visit to one of the local museums.

After breakfast, your journey continues north to Ilulissat, the town of icebergs. Even during the approach, you get a preview of what awaits you: gigantic icebergs floating in Disko Bay. You will be picked up at the airport and transferred to Hotel Arctic.

Town Walk (included in the excursion package)

After an information meeting with our local representative, you can join a guided city walk through the old town, where you will hear stories about everything from Knud Rasmussen to the local justice system, the fishing industry, and life north of the Arctic Circle.

In the evening, a lovely welcome dinner is served at Hotel Arctic (drinks not included).

If you have purchased the Autumn Excursion Package, you will go on a short evening walk after dinner.

Northern Lights Tour (included in the Autumn Excursion Package)

The Northern Lights — also known as Aurora Borealis — are one of nature’s most magical spectacles. We invite you on an atmospheric evening excursion, where we leave the town lights behind and venture out into the surrounding nature. Out here, beneath the open starry sky, we create the best possible conditions for enjoying the silence and the magnificent sky show.

Please note: This tour only runs in clear weather. If it is cloudy, the tour will be cancelled on the same day. We will then do our best to find a new date for you. If that is not possible, you will, of course, receive a full refund. Please note that even on clear nights, the Northern Lights may appear faint — nature follows its own plans.

After breakfast, a hike to Sermermiut awaits.

Hike to Sermermiut (included in the excursion package)

Sermermiut is a historic settlement area with more than 4,000 years of habitation. You walk along a wooden boardwalk through the protected Arctic landscape and end with a breathtaking view of the Icefjord.

After the hike, you may want to visit the Icefjord Centre, located right on the route — it pairs perfectly with your Sermermiut experience.

Visit with the Sled Dogs (included in the excursion package)

In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to get up close to Greenland’s sled dogs and learn about their importance to life in the Arctic.

The day begins with a good breakfast and time to explore on your own.

Icefjord Sailing (included in the excursion package)

Later in the day, an unforgettable boat trip among the iconic icebergs of the Ilulissat Icefjord awaits. During this highlight, you sail close to the massive formations and gain a whole new appreciation for the power and beauty of the ice.

In the evening, you can enjoy a gourmet dinner at Restaurant Ulo, where Greenlandic ingredients and Nordic gastronomy come together beautifully (optional – book on-site).

Today, you can continue exploring on your own or join a boat excursion.

Day Trip to Ilimanaq (extra add-on)

Join a fantastic boat trip from Ilulissat to the settlement of Ilimanaq, where you will experience the majestic mouth of the Icefjord and stunning views over Disko Bay along the way. Upon arrival, a cozy guided village walk awaits, during which your local guide shares stories about Ilimanaq’s history and everyday life. As you stroll through the settlement, you not only learn but also enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. The excursion includes lunch and time to explore the area on your own.

The rest of the day is at your leisure.

After breakfast, it is time to say goodbye to Ilulissat and fly back to Nuuk. Upon arrival in Nuuk, you will check in again at Hotel Hans Egede Express.

Explore Nuuk

If you did not have time at the beginning of your trip, you can now visit the Greenland National Museum or Nuuk Art Museum to explore the country’s history and modern Greenlandic art. Take a walk along the waterfront and enjoy views of the mountains and the fjord, or experience the cozy atmosphere of Colonial Harbor with its characteristic houses.

If you wish, you may enjoy a coffee or a meal at one of Nuuk’s cafés or restaurants, or go shopping for Greenlandic design and handicrafts. If the weather is clear and you are in the mood for more adventure, you can go for a hike around Lille Malene.

Spend the evening relaxing and reflecting on the many impressions from your trip before saying farewell to Greenland the next morning.

After breakfast, it is time to say goodbye to Greenland and fly from Nuuk to Billund — returning home with unforgettable experiences and a camera full of icebergs, majestic mountains, and Arctic memories.
