Trip Overview :

Venture deep into Greenland’s icy heart on this unforgettable 8-day Greenland vacation, where nature’s raw beauty takes centre stage. This active, independent adventure with first-class accommodation, shared touring, and shared transfers promises a seamless and unforgettable journey across Nuuk, Ilulissat, and the Illimanaq Settlement. 

Begin in Nuuk, one of the world’s smallest capitals, where modern Arctic life meets Inuit traditions. Spend your first evening scanning the dark skies on a Northern Lights boat tour as ethereal colours dance above the still waters.  

Fly north to Ilulissat, Greenland’s celebrated icefjord town, where colossal icebergs drift through Disko Bay. Your guided evening sail offers front-row views of the surreal light show as auroras ripple above the shimmering ice. Walk the historic Sermermiut Valley, where ancient Inuit settlements once thrived, and explore the award-winning Icefjord Centre to better understand this UNESCO-listed region.
