It is something truly exceptional to explore the Disko Island from the sea. To silently slide through the water under an open, endless sky – surrounded by icebergs, seabirds, and rocky shores. Maybe we are lucky to spot sea mammals or catch a glimpse of local fishermen fishing from their dinghies?

We set out in the morning from the town’s famous black-sand beach and paddle along the coast towards Kuannit. Springs drizzle down the rocky mountainsides and solidified basalt columns turn and twist in all directions.

The duration of this excursion is 4-5 hours with 2-3 hours of paddling time. As an extra safety, our support boat will be close by.
