Experience an unforgettable journey through Nuuk Fjord — where drifting ice, deep silence, and endless mountain walls reveal the true beauty of Greenland’s Arctic wilderness.

This six-hour journey takes you deep into Nuuk’s fjord system (the second largest in the world!)

What to expect

Every journey into the icefjord is unique, but there are a few things you can always look forward to:

  • Ancient ice in your glass: Enjoy a drink chilled with crystal-clear ice collected from the Greenland ice sheet — thousands of years in the making.

  • Hands-on moments: Feel the texture of a floating iceberg or scoop up a piece of drift ice straight from the sea.

  • A chance to plunge: For the adventurous, a quick dip in the Arctic water is an unforgettable rush — icy, pure, and surprisingly addictive.

  • Local coffee experience: from a Nuuk-based roastery, adding a true local touch to your Arctic adventure.

  • Ever-changing nature: No two trips are the same. The ice, the weather, and the light constantly shift — that’s part of what makes the fjord so alive.

  • A glimpse of local life: pass the abandoned settlement of Qoornoq — once a thriving fishing station, now a quiet refuge for locals who return here in summer.
