The Magnificent Autumn Light in Greenland

You arrive in Greenland’s capital, Nuuk — a city where modern life meets Arctic nature. At the airport, you are welcomed by our local representative, who ensures a smooth transfer to the centrally located Hotel Hans Egede Express.

City tour (part of the excursion package)

After check-in, you can join a guided city tour introducing you 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 cozy restaurants, where Greenlandic ingredients and views of the fjord set the tone for the journey ahead.

After breakfast, you continue north to Ilulissat — the town by the Icefjord. Even during landing, you get a preview of what awaits: gigantic icebergs floating in Disko Bay. You are met at the airport and transferred to Hotel Arctic, where you check in.

Northern Lights Safari (part of the excursion package)

When darkness falls, a magical northern lights safari awaits — an evening excursion focused on finding, understanding, and photographing Greenland’s northern lights.

You can spend the day on your own or go on some excursions.

Hike to Sermermiut (part of the excursion package)

The day begins with a guided hike to Sermermiut — an ancient settlement with more than 4,000 years of history. You follow wooden walkways through the Arctic landscape and end at a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking Ilulissat Icefjord. It is a place where silence speaks and where you truly feel the presence of history.

In the afternoon, you may visit some of the town’s museums, such as the Knud Rasmussen Museum or the Ilulissat Art Museum.

Today you can join one of the absolute highlights of the trip: a boat tour among the iconic icebergs of Ilulissat Icefjord — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But first, you will meet Greenland’s famous sled dogs.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure.

After breakfast, you may explore on your own or join today’s optional excursion.

Boat trip to Ilimanaq (optional add-on)

Today, you can take part in a boat trip past the mouth of the Icefjord to the small settlement of Ilimanaq. About 50 people live here, and you will have the chance to experience settlement life up close. You visit a local family where food and coffee are served, gaining insight into daily life, traditions, and the warm hospitality of Greenlandic communities.

After the visit, you return to Ilulissat by boat.

After breakfast, it is time to begin your journey home. You fly from Ilulissat to Nuuk and then onward to Copenhagen — richer in experiences and with a camera full of icebergs, northern lights, and Arctic memories.
