Greenland Adventure Break in Nuuk

Arrive and meet your host at the airport and head into Nuuk for lunch at the Katuaq Cultural Centre. Enjoy the first taste of Greenlandic culture with a delicious meal.

Set sail on a shared open boat ride to Kiattua, travelling deep into the world's second-largest fjord system, surrounded by some of the oldest mountains on Earth. Relax and unwind with your first dinner at the camp, prepared using local ingredients.

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.

After dinner, swim and float on an iceberg dressed in full survival suit.

After a thorough introduction to kayaking, you will hit the fjord in your own kayak and paddle among the ice. This trip is for everyone, whether or not it's your first time in a kayak. Our skilled Nomad guides will ensure your safety from the backup boat and kayak. Enjoy the light of the Greenlandic summer, a time when the sun overhead and adds a bit of softness to the rough landscape..

After getting back to shore, the chef will have a nice lunch ready for you.

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.

After breakfast in the camp, you will leave the camp by boat and cruise back to Nuuk on the lookout for whales. Transfer to the small airport, check in and then enjoy a quick lunch in Nuuk with your guides before your afternoon departure at 13.20pm.
