Greenland Luxury Adventure in Nuuk

You will be greeted at the tiny airport and escorted to the cultural centre for lunch. At the same time, the guides will brief you about the days ahead and any weather adjustments.

After lunch, leave civilization. Cruise by open rib boat into the world's second-largest fjord system. Along the way, scout for humpback whales, which often traverse these waters. This is where your adventure begins. Lean back, relax and enjoy the fresh air and beautiful sights.

Located on a peaceful shingle beach, with no roads, vehicles or houses for many miles, Kiattua is the site of an ancient Inuit summer hunting ground. It is comprised of 6 heated teepees, each fitted out with full size beds, Arctic-grade linens, reading chairs and lights, and private bathrooms complete with hot water showers, eco toilets and locally made bath products.

You are even provided a hot tub, where you can relax in mineral rich glacier waters while sipping on a G&T and admiring the ever-changing light on the fjord.

Open for just 4 months of the year, and limited to 10 guests at a time to protect its fragile infrastructure, this once-in-a-lifetime experience is a deep dive into a little-known Arctic world.

On arrival, enjoy a short walk to a waterfall then the day is finished off with a dinner in the camp.

After dinner, join a bonfire either outside the dining tent or at the beach and end the day with drinks - or maybe the famous Greenlandic coffee.

Meals

After breakfast in the camp, join a morning hike to Uumannaq summit. Start with a 15 minutes boat tour to the deserted island of Uumannaq. Your goal is to reach the top at an altitude of 420 meters, to enjoy the beautiful sight over the ice fiord with its peaky mountains and icebergs.

At the end of the hike, stop at the restored church built back in 1733 and enjoy a traditional Greenlandic BBQ prepared by our skilled chef.

Next up is deep sea fishing for cod. Fishing is a vital part of life and leisure in Greenland. The abundant waters outside of Nuuk are teeming with cod and redfish, and even first-timers have a great chance of catching dinner!

The chef will cook the fish for dinner, and some will be smoked during the night and vacuum packed for you to bring home as an edible souvenir.

Meals

The water around Kiattua is rich in life, giving you a great opportunity to contribute to the dinners served by the chef every evening.

After breakfast, hit out in the kayak and look for blue mussels and fish the traditional way with a hand-held line.

On the shores 10 minutes away from Kiattua you will find an area with plenty of seaweed and blue mussels - the timing has to be right, as it is only possible to get access to the mussels at low tide. There’s a combination of relaxation and excitement, as you search for the mussels in the enormous variety of seaweed to see what you might uncover, the satisfaction is great when you find a mussel bigger than all the others you’ve collected so far.

During the trip, the guide will help you to the best fishing sites and advise you on how to fish with the handheld line. Sometimes you hit a lucky spot in the ocean and can start pulling fish up left and right, which is always exciting and FUN!

This afternoon, a 10-minute boat tour will take you to the settlement of Kapisillit. As estimated in 2019, Kapisillit is home to only 35 residents, situated about 90 km away from the Capital Nuuk. Small as it is, Kapisillit has a kindergarten, a church, one grocery store and everything one needs to live a peaceful and delightful life. It is a nice place to experience the Arctic lifestyle, cozy and rough at the same time.

The local inhabitants always invite friends to 'kaffemik' which is a get-together where you celebrate special occasions with coffee and cake and local specialities. With your guide, visit one of the families that has lived for many years in the area and has a lot of stories to tell about daily life and cultural traditions. This excursion is your chance to get up close with the locals and learn more about the interesting people that lives so far away from everything else.

Experience the adventure of fishing the traditional Inuit way. This fishing adventure is certainly not for the faint of heart, but for those seeking a thrill. The Inuit's only had limited fishing equipment and mostly did their fishing with the bare hands. Today your guide will help you to learn this ancient and simple technique, that contains of three simple step: Find the Arctic car in holes under the rocks, reach in and tickle the fish under the belly and finally grab them.

On location, the chef will prepare the caught fish in various styles for a BBQ lunch.

Then go on a foraging walking tour to de-stress you from modern life and reconnect you once again with the wild mother nature.

The flora of Greenland is quite poor since the climate is harsh and only the toughest plants can survive in such conditions. Fortunately, the country is rich with wild herbs and berries that grow all over its terrain. Among them are blueberries, blackberries, crow berries, Alpine bear berries, Juniper berries, crow berries, angelica, Labrador tea, Arctic Thyme, various mushrooms and seaweed. The berries are an essential part of the Inuit diet, and they are widely used in desserts, compotes, and meat sauces or as an accompaniment to boiled cod liver.

At the end of the day, you will experience that food always taste better when you’ve found it yourself. Your chef prepares the “catch” of the day for your delicious dinner.

Accommodation

Go on a RIB boat cruise to the beginning of the Icefiord, and we will take some stops on the way to watch and enjoy the fascinating icebergs. When you look carefully at the icebergs, you will see that they are like clouds sometimes; they look like an elephant, sometimes like a dragon and other creatures. It is difficult to image that these enormous icebergs once started the journey as tiny snowflakes.

On the way back, we will swing by the abandoned village of Qoornoq for a quick visit to this once-thriving settlement that was left in the 60' and has since become a summer getaway for local Inuits.

After lunch, put on your dry suits and life jackets, as well as communication gear that’ll keep you both warm and safe. You’ll start paddling around, so you can enjoy the fresh air and the surreal experience of paddling between icebergs. The fjord is home to a few whales, and we might be lucky enough to spot some on the way.
