Boat Tours
Explore East Greenland from the sea, where fjords, ice, and remote settlements shape every journey
Boat Tours in East Greenland
Boat tours are one of the most immersive ways to experience East Greenland’s dramatic coastline, fjords, and ice-filled waters. From Tasiilaq, we access areas that cannot be reached by land, moving quietly through landscapes shaped by glaciers and the sea.
Season & availability
Our boat tours operate during the ice-free season, typically from late June to September, depending on ice and weather conditions. All tours are planned and adjusted daily to ensure safe navigation and the best possible experience.
Our day tours are guided by experienced local skippers with deep knowledge of the region. Routes, timing, and stops are adjusted based on weather, ice conditions, and group dynamics.

Sail among massive drifting icebergs in one of East Greenland’s most spectacular fjord systems. Sermilik Fjord is known for having the highest concentration of icebergs in the region, fed by the fast-moving Helheim Glacier — Greenland’s second most productive glacier.
Due to ice conditions, we cannot reach Helheim Glacier itself, but we stop at Hann Glacier and visit the remote and beautifully located settlement of Tiniteqilaaq along the way.

Join a memorable boat tour from Tasiilaq to the Greenland Ice Cap — one of the largest ice masses on Earth. Step onto the vast inland ice that covers around 80% of Greenland and experience its profound silence and endless white horizon.
Standing on the Ice Cap offers a rare sense of scale and perspective, making this one of the most humbling Arctic experiences.
Lunch and drinks included.

We sail from Tasiilaq in search of whales in the surrounding waters, home to a large population of humpback and fin whales. There is also a chance to spot sperm whales, killer whales, pilot whales, and seals.
We observe whales on approximately 95% of our tours, using close cooperation with other operators and strong local knowledge. However, whales are wild animals living freely, and sightings can never be guaranteed.
What makes whale safaris in Tasiilaq truly special is the exclusivity — it is rare to encounter other tourist boats in the area.

This unique experience is only offered in East Greenland. We sail from Tasiilaq to a nearby glacier, where you meet professional glacier guides and prepare for the adventure.
You will be equipped with safety gear, including helmet and crampons, allowing you to move safely on the ice. Your guides lead you across the glacier while sharing insights into the ice and its formation.
The highlight is a natural ice cave stretching hundreds of metres beneath the glacier — an unforgettable journey into Greenland’s frozen interior.
