Adventure Camp in Greenland: Hike, Paddle, Explore!

Adventure doesn’t need a five-star resort—it needs Greenland! Here, luxury takes the form of a crackling bonfire and a sauna tent that greets us after a day of hiking and stand-up paddleboarding. We’ll hike to a secret infinity pool that’s colder than your ex but twice as refreshing, paddle through fjords that look like they belong in a fantasy novel, and camp beside a glacier that makes skyscrapers look small. The stars? They’re showing off. The trails? Unbeaten. And the memories? Unforgettable. Add in the thrill of reeling in dinner straight from the water, and you’ve got a journey that’s ruggedly real and unapologetically wild. Greenland isn’t waiting—it’s daring you to dive in!

Itinerary

Greenland isn’t just a destination; it’s a wild playground for adventurers. Hike to secluded glacier pools, paddle fjords surrounded by towering peaks, and camp under starry skies in the shadow of the Itisoq glacier. Cozy tents, crackling bonfires, and a sauna tent provide comfort amidst the wilderness, while fresh-caught fish add flavor to every meal. Whether you’re conquering summits, soaking up stunning views, or paddling serene waters, this journey will redefine your sense of wonder. Experience the Arctic at its finest—Greenland awaits!

  • An early morning arrival. As we settle into our cozy tents, a briefing will be provided. We’ll embark on a hike to an enchanting ‘infinity pool’. Situated southeast of the camp, on the opposite side of the island, this hidden gem promises a revitalizing dip that will invigorate our senses and wash away any lingering jetlag. As the sun sets, we will gather together for a memorable evening of dining on the rocks, warmed by the flickering flames of a roaring bonfire.

    Infinity pool in Greenland
  • Our second day will be an unforgettable adventure as we aim to spend the night just next to the majestic Itisoq glacier. Whether or not we use tents (or sleep under the stars) will be determined by the weather conditions. After a relaxing morning with coffee and breakfast at camp, we will start our ascent towards the glacier and find ourselves immersed in a vast bowl encircled by towering mountains. This will be the location of our campsite, where we will pause, unload our backpacks, and (for those who are up for it) push on to conquer the summit.

    Aiming to witness a captivating sunset, we will seize the opportunity to create lasting memories before settling down in our cozy sleeping bags for the night. As darkness descends, we will gather together to enjoy a well deserved dinner.

  • Before we begin our descent back to the basecamp, we’ll have breakfast. Once we reach the basecamp, the sauna tent will be set ablaze, offering a haven of warmth and rejuvenation. For those seeking a bit of adventure, SUPS (Stand-Up Paddleboards) will be ready.

    As an alternative, anyone can try fishing from the shore. Armed with a fishing rod, there’s an excellent chance of catching something tasty to add to our dinner pot. Rest assured, you’ll be an integral part of the cooking process, whether it involves preparing freshly caught fish, birds or vegetables.

    SUP paddling adventure
  • Today, we’ll aim for a ridge hike, surrounded by magnificent mountains and breathtaking fjords. But first, we must yet again go on an exciting journey, crossing the bay on our trusty stand-up paddleboards (SUPs).

    As we paddle through the stunning waters, the scenery becomes even more amazing, with each stroke bringing us closer to our destination. This is your chance to witness nature in all its glory, to feel the adrenaline course through your veins as you conquer the heights and soak in the beauty of these majestic mountains and serene fiords.

    Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

  • After breakfast, we will energize ourselves for one last day of exploration. This time, armed with our stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), we will paddle for approximately 30 minutes, through Itisoq Bay (it’s also possible to hike this distance). Once we reach the shore, we will begin hiking towards a mountain affectionately called “The Shark Fin.”

    Breathtaking mountains and the sprawling, enchanting eastern part of the world’s second-largest fjord system will be our backdrop. Later on, we will return to town with a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences and countless tales to share with loved ones back home.
