Itinerary

A day-by-day plan to guide your arctic adventure.

  • Day 1: Warm welcome to the Arctic

    Depart from Reykjavik Domestic Airport for a flight to the charming Arctic village of Ilulissat, beautifully situated at the mouth of the 56 kilometre-long Ilulissat Icefjord. On arrival, you will be transferred to your accommodation for the next three nights.

  • Day 2: Ilulissat at your leisure

    For the next two days, experience Greenland’s incredible nature by land, sea or air! You can choose from an array of exciting optional excursions in the Ilulissat area, including helicopter rides, motorboat tours among the icebergs off the coast, cultural demonstrations or village walks. 

    Note: We recommend booking any optional activities in advance with your travel consultant at Nordic Visitor, although you are also welcome to book them at your hotel in Ilulissat after arrival.

    Attractions
  • Day 3: More free time in Ilulissat

    Enjoy another free day in Ilulissat for some optional activities. If you’re a hiking enthusiast, the Sermermiut Valley just a few kilometres from Ilulissat offers spectacular viewpoints from a number of marked trails. Or why not experience a real Arctic pastime with a dog-sledding tour!

Other
  • This tour originates in Iceland. Due to flight times between Iceland and Greenland, passengers may need to spend a night before departure and/or on return in Reykjavik. Our travel consultants can assist with booking accommodation in Reykjavik on request.
  • The winter climate in Greenland can be quite unpredictable with average temperatures ranging from -3 to -20° Celsius. Due to Arctic conditions and sudden weather changes, we recommend bringing warm, weatherproof outerwear with plenty of thermal layers and insulated walking boots. It is also nice to bring sunglasses to reduce the glare from the sun’s reflection on the snow.
  • The itinerary can change without notice due to weather conditions. 
  • Additional warm outerwear is generally provided for the optional outdoor activities.
  • The currency in Greenland is Danish Krona (DKK). We recommend bringing some Danish currency or a debit card (bank card) with a 4-digit PIN number for cash withdrawals at ATM machines.
  • Travel insurance is highly recommended
  • See our Travel Guide for more information about weather conditions, what to pack, currency and other practical information about travelling in Greenland.
