Once you arrive and check-in, you will have some time to relax before you will meet with private guide at hotel´s lobby. From here, you will start your walking tour around charming Iluilssat. 

The name of the town means ´icebergs´, the reason for that is locations of the city, right next to the stunning Ice Fjord, the first place in Greenland to be declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.The icebergs in the fjord are visible from almost anywhere in the town. They come all the way from the glacier Sermeq Kujalleq, the largest glacier in the northern hemisphere and at the same time, one of the fastest glaciers in the world

The area has been inhabited for over 4.000 years and there are many stories about this vibrant town that your guide will share with you while discovering this gem of North. 

As you walk through historic town, you may visit the Ilulissat Art Museum, housed in the former residence of the colony manager, the gallery has a beautiful collection that features work by many local artist and famous Greenlandic painters.

Today after the breakfast you will meet with your Captain, who will take you on a memorable journey across icy fjords. 

The Icefjord is beautiful from land, but on the boat tour it is possible for you to get very close to the huge vibrant blue sculptures. These icebergs can be up to 100 meters high, and several hundred meters long and wide. Here you feel insignificantly small in the vast nature. 

Icebergs are beautiful no matter of the weather. In bright sunlight, the ice shines chalky white and has the strongest contrasts. In cloudy weather, you will see way more nuances of color and structure in the ice. And in the midnight sun, a rosy glow is cast over the enormous colossi.

The ice can move quickly, and conditions can change from day to day – sometimes also from hour to hour. That is why each and every sailing tour amongst the icebergs is completely unique.

A lovely welcome dinner will take you on a culinary journey which reflects the country and culture here in Greenland. 

At Icefjord Restaurant the main focus are great flavours. The menu is a perfect combination of Greenlandic ingredients, combined with a New-Nordic touch and highlight the best seasonal ingredients, such as crowberries, lumpfish roe and mushroom. The kitchen uses products like fresh fish from the local fishermen, Greenlandic reindeer and musk ox from Kangerlussuaq.  

This afternoon after you will get more familiar with Ilulissat by foot, it´s time to discover the city from another angle. 

As you take off from Ilulissat airport, you may admire the charming town from above. Soon the colourful houses will disappear and you will find yourself over the wild arctic landscape. During the flight you may enjoy the peaceful scenery of Disko Bay, where icebergs floating on a lavish blue water. You may also visit Sermeq Kujalleq glacier, a glacier branch of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

En route to the glacier, the pilot will fly as low as safety allows, so you can witness the magnificent contrast between the white ice and the surrounding mountain landscape, the many meltwater lakes and rivers. The helicopter will be landing on a mountain plateau next to the icecap, where we will be staying for 30 minutes. During these 30 minutes, you can enjoy the pristine landscape and sense the infinite size of the Ice Cap, there will also be time for you to put both your feet on the ice.

Today after the breakfast, at the hotel´s lobby you will meet with local Captain, who will take you on a memorable sail, through icy blue waters of Disko Bay. Region famously known for its iceberg but in summer is a home to magnificent whales. 

When winter is over, many unique species of this marine mammals visit Disko Bay. During your trip, the Captain share a fascinating stories about the life and habbits of these gentle giants, that will help you easily recognise everyone you will see. Once in open waters, when the engine silences, it is your cue to adjust your eyes and ears to high alert. Seconds and minutes feel like eternity as you hold your breath waiting for a sign. But suddenly comes the unmistakable sound of a whale exhaling at the water’s surface, and you, too, exhale at the beauty. Maybe its mink whale or fin whale or with a bit of luck, you might even see a humpback whale, an acrobat among the great whales, despite its huge sizes. When it breaches, it can launch its whole body out of the water and strike the surface with its tail and fins. 

The tour will end back at your hotel. From here you will have a time to unwind and rest before your next adventure. 

Today after breakfast and check-out, you will meet with guide at the hotel´s lobby. Form here you will have a short walk to the harbour, where the next chapter of your arctic journey will begin.  

Once on boat, you will head north towards Egi Glacier, one of the most active in Greenland and often referred to as the calving glacier as you are guaranteed to see small and large pieces of ice breaking off the five kilometre wide glacier. The boat trip is, in itself, beautiful and enchanting. On the way you pass tiny settlements, steep fields, beautiful waterfalls and icebergs in incredible shapes and colors. And that is before two glaciers and the enormous Icesheet is in sight. If you are lucky you might even spot seals and whales on the way.

Arriving at Egi Glacier, you will have some time to explore the area and enjoy the icy landscape of this natural wonder. Later you will sail to your unique destinations for the next two nights - Glacier Lodge Egi. Here camp guide will give you a warm welcome and show you to your cabins. You will be given the necessary practical information and then have the rest of the day to spend at your own leisure. 

Today you have whole day to spent at leisure. 

You may wish to enjoy the arctic wilderness at your own peace or go for an outdoor adventure. 

We recommend to have a one of a scenic hike. Long and incredibly varied hike that offers several types of landscape: lush lowlands, windswept highlands, moraines and, not least, the Inland Ice Sheet with crevasses, streams and glacier wells. We follow Paul-Émile Victor's tracks all the way to the ice cap. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, tracked vehicles with supplies for Paul-Émile Victor's famous Inland Ice expeditions ran here, and today we can see the remains of their machinery and an old cable car. In a beautiful valley with a view of a dead glacier, we enjoy our lunch before hiking over the moraine and into the Inland ice sheet. This is the absolute highlight of the trip. Well spent, we are home late in the day for a well-deserved dinner.

When we write in the degree of difficulty that the trip is demanding, it is not because it requires special training in walking on ice or climbing. The trip is not technically difficult - but it is a long trip of 25 km, and we climb approx. 1000 meters of altitude, so you have to be in good shape.

Today after breakfast you will meet with the local guide at your cabin. The guide will take you on a breathtaking 5 hours hike, directly to glacier. 

On the trip, you will pass old remains from the expeditions that have taken place in the area. Along the hike you may admire rushing streams and a beautiful lagoon. The polar silence is break only by the continuous rumble and crash of the glacier. 

Once at the front of might glacier, you will have well deserved break, after the steep climb. While having a lunch in of the most scenic spot, keep an eye out for the small pieces of ice that fall from the ice wall. 

The hike will end back at The Lodge, from here you will sail back to Ilulissat.
