Greenland Hikes & Cruises

Greenland offers immense glaciers, dramatic Arctic fjords and remote polar wilderness, with the best regions to explore including East Greenland, Scoresby Sund, the Greenland Ice Sheet, Ilulissat Icefjord and Arctic coastal settlements.

East Greenland & Tasiilaq Fjords: East Greenland’s remote fjord systems offer spectacular trekking where routes such as the Karale to Tasiilaq Fjord trek cross glaciers and alpine terrain while camping deep in one of the Arctic’s most untouched landscapes.

Scoresby Sund: The immense fjord system of Scoresby Sund features towering mountains and giant drifting icebergs explored by expedition ship and small boat landings.

Greenland Ice Sheet: The vast Greenland Ice Sheet dominates the island’s interior where travellers experience one of the largest ice landscapes on Earth.

Ilulissat Icefjord: Ilulissat’s UNESCO-listed Icefjord reveals enormous glaciers calving icebergs into Disko Bay in one of Greenland’s most dramatic natural spectacles.

Arctic Coastal Settlements: Greenland’s small coastal communities reveal traditional Inuit culture shaped by life in the Arctic wilderness.

The best time to travel to Greenland for expedition travel, wildlife viewing and kayaking is during the short summer season, Jun–Aug, when sea ice retreats and access improves.

Greenland has a polar climate with long cold winters and short cool summers. Temperatures typically range between -30°C and 5°C (-22°F–41°F) depending on the season.

Outside the summer season the region becomes colder and more remote, yet the scenery is striking with glaciers, sea ice and vast polar landscapes.
