Learn the Story of the Old and Modern Ilulissat

By joining a guided town tour, you will learn the origin of Ilulissat, how the city has developed over the years, why the Inuits have been in the area for thousands of years, how important fishing is to the Ilulissat and much more.

Season: All year around

Breakfast included.

Whale Watching Tour
We will sail towards the Icefjord, coming close to the icebergs that have made this area world-known. Our skipper and sailor guide will be actively looking for the fin and humpback whales that have been numerous around Ilulissat from the end of May to late autumn.

During the summer, Ilulissat becomes ”the city that never sleeps”, and what could an adventurer think of other than experiencing and sensing while the sun still reigns on, the places where the whales might be hiding, possibly behind the next iceberg around the corner? Don't despair, we are ready to begin the search for the whales, their blows which can sometimes be heard miles away and the spectacular sight of approaching Ilulissat's giant icebergs.

Of course, we need to see the icebergs at close but safe distance, and our captain is constantly aware that the whales can appear 360 degrees around the boat, so we’ll keep an eye out in all directions once we have passed the city hospital. The whales often tend to forage close to the icefjord, which is full of life and sustenance, which is why we can almost guarantee you perfect sight and experiences, even if they prolong their arrival.

Sailing to the Icefjord Tour
Boat trip to the famous Ilulissat Unesco Icefjord with our certified tour boat Pivik and trained guide.

Experience one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Ilulissat Icefjord, named “Ilulissat Kangerlua” in Greenlandic, is one of the most productive places of ice on Earth. To really see and understand the true beauty of the massive icebergs, you have to go in between them and see them from the waterside - which can only be done from a boat.

Experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site by Boat

All of the Ilulissat Icefjord is listed on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. This is due to the large production of icebergs by the glacier Sermeq Kujalleq at the bottom of the Icefjord and the massive icebergs which are stuck a the end of it.

No matter the weather, the icebergs are always amazing. The sun makes the ice shine and sparkle, while the blue colours of the ice really pops out when it’s cloudy.

All out boat trips are in certified tour boats and with experienced guides. They will tell you about the ice and its importance for the area, while we closely pass the massive icebergs.

Eqi Glacier Tour incl. Lunch
Join this tour to the incredible Eqi glacier, one of the biggest calving glaciers in Greenland. We will go in our fast boat with limited seats on this half-day tour, where you have to time to enjoy the trip and the glacier itself.

It’s always a breathtaking experience when you approach the Eqi glacier by boat. The four-kilometer wide and 200-meter-tall wall of ice rises between the mountains on the beautiful Greenlandic coast. You can hear and see the massive calvings from far away, as huge chunks of ice break off and hits the water.

The Eqi glacier, also known as Eqip Sermia in Greenlandic, is located 70 kilometer north of Ilulissat and is one of the largest calving glaciers in all of Greenland. From here, there is easy access to the ice sheet, which is why it was used by some of the first polar explorers in Greenland to study the ice sheet.

The tour is roughly six hours. As a result, you have time to do other stuff in the same day. Due to the unpredictable conditions with ice in the Disko Bay, the amount of time it takes to reach the glacier varies from day to day. Our captain will make sure that you get as much time as possible by the glacier within the timeframe of the excursion. The distance from where we can admire the glacier also varies depending on the amount of ice that have calved from the glacier front. Usually we will be within 2-3 kilometres from the glacier. No matter the exact distance to the glacier or the lenght of the stay, it is an incredible experience to witness the enormous glacier, and hopefully a calving - big or small.

During the tour, our experienced guide will explain about the nature we pass, the glacier itself and the cultural history of the area. If we are lucky, we might spot a whale or two on the way to or from the glacier, and it is 99% sure, that we will see plenty of icebergs from llulissat Icefjord along the way.

Our Targa is built for the purpose and has a limited number of seats, making it unique experience to go to the glacier. The boat is equipped with a flybridge with a great view to all sides which can be used while we are in front of the glacier.
