ARCTIC DREAM
BOAT EVENING TOURS

Majestic whales in their oceanic kingdom
Since the sea ice prevents us from entering these waters during the majority of the year — please note, that this tour is exclusively available from August throughout October.
In the early afternoon, we deport from the Tasiilaq harbour and venture south through the astonishing King Oscar’s fjord. From here, we reach the open ocean south of the Ammassalik Island. On our way, we will pass by a multitude of glorious icebergs that float gracefully around in the fjord and its outlet.
Once we reach the open sea, we are starting our lookout for the grandiose whales. In this particular area, we frequently spot humpback, minke and fin whales. Occasionally, we are also lucky enough to spot the fascinating orca whales — also known as killer whales.
The whales are found in this specific area because small salmon fish called capelins spawn in the Kuummiut fjord during May. This provides for an excellent food source for the whales who subsequently, gather to feed here during the spawning season. Hereafter, the orcas arrive since the young whale calves of the other species are easy prey and an excellent feeding source for the killer whales.
We will cruise around the area and take in the magnificent meeting with the whales as the sun is setting over the island. Ultimately, we then start our journey back and return to Tasiilaq in the evening.
From sea to culinary bliss
It is something truly special to enjoy freshly caught fish on a stone directly in nature. Everything just tastes so much better, and it is undoubtedly something most Greenlanders have experienced. When you are in nature and have caught your fish, you fetch water directly from the fjord in a pot, as it is already naturally salted. The fish is then cut into pieces and cooked over a gas burner. While the fish simmers, you find a suitable large stone that serves as an improvised table. At the same time, you can go on the hunt for old mussel shells, which will later serve as both spoon and fork.
When the fish is cooked, it is laid out on the stone. Some prefer to clean the stone with the cooking water, while others keep the cooking water and enjoy it as a lovely soup, using the mussel shells as a spoon. Everyone is seated around the stone table, a nd then it is just about helping yourself either using the mussel shell or your bare hands. Even if you make your way to the Michelin restaurant Noma, you will not get fish that tastes as delicious and authentic as this!
Depending on the season, we sail by boat to places where there are fish to catch it can be either cod or trout. We have the necessary fishing equipment for the different fish types, and there is no requirement for previous fishing experience. If there ar e mussels, we also harvest some and fry them in a pan. When the mussels open, we add a small dollop of spiced butter to the open mussel it tastes heavenly.
This tour is a truly unique experience where you gain insight into what the local Greenlanders enjoy on their weekends, and you will visit places that tourists typically do not have the pleasure of experiencing.

Evening sailing and ice bathing in a survival suit.
Tasiilaq’s enchanting fjord Join us on an unforgettable evening boat trip in the fjord in front of Tasiilaq – a place where the silence and Arctic beauty speak for themselves. When the sun hangs low over the horizon and colors the sky and ice in soft shades of gold and blue, we sail out among drifting icebergs and mirror-like water.
In the middle of this magical landscape, you have the opportunity to do something very special: wearing a survival suit, you can jump into the icy sea and float safely between the ice floes. It is an experience for the senses – a rare combination of calm, adrenaline and a deep connection to Greenlandic nature.
Our experienced team ensures safety all the way and guides you safely through both the sailing trip and ice bathing. An experience you will not soon forget – and which can only be found in Greenland.

Kayaking — a meeting between tradition and modern adventures
More than 4000 years ago, the kayak travelled with the very first arctic settlers to Greenland. It was — and is still — used as a very effective hunting instrument and transportation device. The Greenlandic people incorporated the kayak fully in their everyday life and in present day, it is still one of the definite cultural symbols of the Greenlandic way of life.
We invite you to go kayaking with our local guide into the Tasiilaq fjord and get up close and personal with the stunning icebergs. You will get an authentic feeling of how the Inuits navigated — and still navigates — the ice and water for fishing and hunting purposes.
We can plan tours for both day - og evening time, and the trip usually lasts 2–3 hours.
No experience is needed, and the tour is absolutely safe.
A night with Aurora borealis and the Atlantic ocean
The Northern Lights are most visible in Greenland from the end of August and into the early spring season. Therefore, this is — without a doubt — the best period for observing this amazing and spectacular phenomenon. On clear crispy evenings, you get the absolute best views.
Our tour sets off at 10pm by boat. We will sail along the town and head into the open Atlantic Ocean. Once on the open water, we turn off the boat’s engine and let the power from the Northern Lights and the sound of the sea envelope us. We will stay warm and cosy while sipping on a cup of hot chocolate and together, we will enjoy this mesmerising and unforgettable experience.
We will return to the harbour approximately 2 hours after departure.
