  • Join our women-only West Greenland hiking tour for an unforgettable Arctic adventure! We’ll explore Ilulissat with its colorful houses and UNESCO-listed Icefjord, cruise among massive icebergs, and discover Disko Island’s volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches, and sweeping meadows. We’ll hike scenic trails, savor authentic Greenlandic cuisine, meet local communities, and keep an eye out for whales. This journey combines wild landscapes, cultural immersion, and shared experiences that will stay with you forever.

    • Pack a few snacks in your bag—lunch will be fashionably late, as we’ll touch down in Ilulissat right around midday. From the airport, it’s a quick hop to the hotel to drop off your bags before heading straight to the harbour, where a private sailing adventure awaits. We’ll glide through the legendary Icefjords, soaking up dazzling views on the way to a tiny village, where a cozy local spot serves Greenlandic specialties sure to delight your taste buds. In the late afternoon, we’ll sail back to Ilulissat to check in for the night, with the evening free to enjoy dinner wherever you like and unwind at your own pace.

We’ll spend the morning wandering the colorful streets of Ilulissat, discovering its charm and hidden gems. By midday, we’ll bid farewell to our hotel and set sail on a scenic two-hour ferry ride to epic Disko Island. Once settled in our rooms, a local guide full of stories and fishing poles leads us on an exploration of the island’s wonders. Try your luck casting for fresh cod—if you catch one, you might even cook and savor it on the spot. A day of local flavors, hands-on fun, and unforgettable memories awaits!

    • Get ready for another epic day with our local guide! We’ll sail along the wild east coast of Disko Island, taking in ever-changing landscapes—from rugged cliffs to black sand beaches—while spotting seals on the rocks, whales breaching, and seabirds overhead. The highlight: cruising through a massive volcanic basalt rock with a giant hole carved by ancient lava flows, standing like nature’s own gateway. We’ll hop ashore for a short 15–20 minute hike to two stunning waterfalls—ideal for deep breaths and photos—then continue with a hike up the iconic 800-meter mountain towering over the town. At the summit, panoramic views of Disko Bay, Ilulissat, Qasigiannguit, and Aasiaat await. In the afternoon, we’ll ferry back to Ilulissat, soaking in the last island views, before enjoying a delicious dinner together, sharing stories, laughs, and the perfect end to an unforgettable day.

Today’s adventure takes us on a 7 km (4.4 mi) hike along the shimmering edge of the world-famous Icefjord, where you’ll enjoy jaw-dropping views of towering icebergs drifting past with the dramatic Sermermiut Valley as your backdrop. Walking in the footsteps of ancient Inuit communities adds a layer of history to every step. At the perfect overlook, we’ll enjoy a cheerful picnic with sweeping Arctic views (and maybe a curious seagull or two). The trail can get a bit bumpy or soggy in places, but the scenery makes it all worth it. In the afternoon, the pace slows down—you’re free to wander the colorful town, explore local shops, or simply relax and take in the Arctic beauty.

On the way back to Ilulissat, we’ll stop in the charming village of Oqaatsut for a delicious meal at a cozy local restaurant. Famous for its stunning red cliffs, it’s the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll and a few last scenic shots before continuing on.
