Things To Do

The whales visit Greenlandic waters during the summer, when you are almost guaranteed whale sightings by Ilulissat. On a boat trip among the icebergs, you can watch these 100-tonne sea creatures as they emerge sprouting from the deep – a magical and unforgettable experience.

Air Greenland offers sightseeing by helicopter. Fly high into the sky above the Icefjord and experience how endless the icecap is.

You will also fly over icebergs, tundra and the open sea, where you can enjoy the beauty and power of Greenlandic nature.

A sailing trip in the Icefjord at Ilulissat is an experience of a lifetime. The fjord is a UNESCO world natural heritage site, and every year more than 48 km2 of ice from the icecap plunges into the fjord and turns into huge floating icebergs. Some icebergs extend more than 100 metres above sea level, where they glisten in the sun to reveal their many beautiful colours.

Join us on a fascinating cultural walk through Greenland’s third largest city. Learn about the city’s heritage and everyday life. The tour includes the fish market, where the local fishermen auction their Icefjord catch, and the museum home of polar explorer Knud Rasmussen. As everywhere in Greenland, the arctic wilderness is never far away.

Your arctic skiing adventure starts at the hotel, where you will be issued with cross-country skiing equipment and a map. You will then get a lift to the local ski club, where the ski routes start. Enjoy the beautiful winter landscape, the dusty snow and the frosty arctic air.
