Your trip starts in Copenhagen, where you fly to Nuuk and land over lunch. From Nuuk Airport you will be transferred to the lovely Hotel HHE Express for your accommodation. If the excursion package has been purchased, there will be an information meeting after arrival in Nuuk.

The hotel is Green Key certified and located in the heart of Nuuk, and you have the opportunity to explore the nearby area either on organized tours or on your own.

From September 4 until early December, we offer this exciting excursion package. Until then, we recommend booking excursions directly at www.arcticexcursions.com.

We are working on offering seasonal packages in the future.

ADD-ON: Autumn 2025 Excursion Package

Nuuk City Tour (included in the package)
This guided city walk includes visiting the Greenland National Museum to explore artifacts from all Greenlandic history and culture periods. After about 30 minutes at the museum, we continue through the area known as Kolonihavnen, home to many original 17th- and 18th-century buildings. Along the way, we pass Hans Egede’s house, the Mother of the Sea sculpture, and the controversial Hans Egede statue in front of Greenland’s Cathedral.
Next, we stop by the local market, where freshly caught fish, seal, and reindeer are sold.
The tour concludes at Greenland’s cultural center, Katuaq, near the government buildings. You’ll be in the heart of Nuuk, with access to shopping and local attractions.

Northern Lights by Boat (included in the package)
Seeing the northern lights from the water offers a completely different and unforgettable experience. It’s a natural phenomenon that fascinates us who live in the Arctic.
We depart from Nuuk and head toward Akia, known as the “North Land.” From here, we have a beautiful view of Nuuk’s skyline without any light pollution. We continue into the fjord, where only the boat provides artificial light.
Several times during the tour, we stop, turn off the engine, and enjoy the silence and the starry sky.
As with all natural phenomena, the aurora cannot be guaranteed. We seize the opportunity whenever the skies are clear and dark enough.

Boat Tour Around Sermitsiaq – Nuuk’s Iconic Landmark (included in the package)
Join us on a scenic boat trip around Sermitsiaq, the iconic mountain that rises from the sea like a majestic sentinel of Nuuk’s fjord. The mountain sits on an island, and its shape changes dramatically depending on your perspective. Sometimes it is sharp and rugged, and other times smooth and rounded.
In summer, waterfalls cascade down its slopes, adding to the wild beauty of the landscape. In winter, they are just as beautiful, but motionless, as they have turned to ice.
We glide silently through the clear Arctic waters, with the city behind us and nature ahead.
We may spot humpback whales, seals, or soaring sea eagles depending on the season.

Nuuk has much to offer you during your five-day stay. For example, you can visit the Katuaq Cultural Center, located right in the middle of Nuuk, alongside great shopping opportunities in the shopping center, Nuuk Center. You can visit the local fish and meat market, Kalaaliaraq, and then walk to the old town and the colonial harbor.

In the evening, you can eat at one of the town’s many restaurants, and remember to keep an eye out for concerts and events in Katuaq.

During your stay, we also recommend a visit to Nuuk’s Art Museum. The permanent exhibition includes many paintings by the famous Greenlandic painter Emanuel A. Petersen (1894-1948) ), but there are also exciting and beautiful contemporary art and changing exhibitions. Check the current opening hours, which may vary with the season.

If you’d rather be outdoors, there are plenty of great hiking opportunities around Nuuk.

You have the whole day at your disposal again, and we recommend a visit to the National Museum, located in the old colonial harbor.

Here you will find the unique mummies that were found in the Uummannaq area in the 1970s. These mummies are very well-preserved, so it seems as if time has stood still. On Sundays, the National Museum is open free of charge. Check the current opening hours, which may vary with the season.

Five wonderful days are coming to an end, and it’s time for your trip back to Copenhagen. You’ll fly directly to Copenhagen from Nuuk.
