Your journey step by step

Discovering Where Ice Meets the Sky

Day 1: Spain - Copenhagen

The day you have been waiting for has finally arrived! Head to the airport to catch your flight to Copenhagen.

Once you arrive at the first destination of your trip, you will take the direct train to the city center, while the Danish landscape welcomes you through the window.

Depending on the arrival time of your flight, you might have some time to explore Nyhavn, one of the city's most iconic places. Can you imagine walking along that canal, surrounded by colorful houses and historic boats? The magic of the sunset light reflecting on the water is something you won't want to miss.

And, of course, you will have the opportunity to sit at one of the terraces by the canal for dinner. How about trying something typically Danish like a "smørrebrød"?

Accommodation.

Day 2: Copenhagen – Ilulissat

Breakfast.

Your day begins with a good breakfast at your hotel in Copenhagen. Enjoy it and gather plenty of energy, because today is full of adventures.

Early in the morning, you'll catch the train towards the airport to take the plane. Can you believe you're about to fly to Greenland?

After a brief stopover in Nuuk, you'll finally land in Ilulissat, a remote and beautiful place. The transfer to the accommodation will be quick, so you'll have the opportunity to rest, acclimate, and absorb the unique atmosphere this region offers.

When night falls, even though the sun will still be gently shining in the sky, get ready for an unforgettable experience: sailing through the frozen fjord.

Can you imagine the icebergs illuminated by a soft and changing light, shifting from white to deep blue, and then to shades of violet, yellow, and red as the sun barely touches the horizon? It's a sight you will want to always remember.

Accommodation.

Day 3: Ilulissat

Breakfast.

How fortunate you are! Today you will have the chance to embark on an unforgettable hike. You will follow the Blue Trail, surrounded by the breathtaking landscape that stretches behind Ilulissat, until you reach the majestic ice fjord.

You will walk alongside crystal-clear lakes, towering mountains, and the historic Inuit settlement of Sermermiut, where the Inuit have lived for over 4,000 years. Can you imagine feeling history beneath your feet?

At the end of the trail, you will be waiting at the old heliport to be taken back by car. During the journey, a guide will explain how the ice has sculpted this region and how it has influenced the lives of those who inhabit it. You will also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and culture of Sermermiut, discovering the ancient traditions that remain alive in this very special place.

Accommodation.

Day 4: Ilulissat

Breakfast and lunch.

Today will gift you an unforgettable visit, promised. After breakfast, you will leave early from Ilulissat to start the journey northward towards the Eqi Glacier, one of the most astonishing and impressive landscapes in Greenland.

You will cross Disko Bay and several fjords, while being enveloped by the majesty of the surroundings. As you approach the glacier, the engines will be turned off, and you will enjoy lunch with a view you will hardly forget. Few people can say they have dined in front of an ice giant.

In the afternoon, you will return to Ilulissat, but the day may still bring you surprises. Can you imagine encountering humpback whales along the way? These magnificent creatures often visit these waters in summer, so you might witness their elegance in the wild.

Accommodation.

Day 5: Ilulissat

Breakfast.

Start the day with a good breakfast and get ready to board a boat and set sail for the frozen fjord. You will have the opportunity to venture into the waters surrounding the majestic icebergs that have made this region of the world famous. Keep an eye on the water! Your captain and sailor guide will be on the lookout for fin and humpback whales, regular visitors during the summer. Imagine for a second one of these animals emerging from the water... goosebumps.

After returning to Ilulissat for lunch, the afternoon will offer you an unforgettable experience: you'll kayak among the icebergs, immersing yourself in the beauty and tranquility of the frozen fjord of Ilulissat. You'll be at sea level, with no sound other than the gentle slide of your paddle in the water, moving among these gigantic ice formations. What better way to say goodbye to this magical place?

Accommodation.

Day 6: Ilulissat - Kangerlussuaq

Breakfast.

Today it's time to say goodbye to Ilulissat, so after breakfast, you will fly to Kangerlussuaq, the main air transportation hub in Greenland. This place, in addition to its strategic importance, has a unique road that will take you directly to the impressive ice cap in a journey of approximately one hour by car.

Did you know that the Kangerlussuaq area is also home to the most diverse terrestrial wildlife in Greenland? In the afternoon, you will have the chance to embark on an exciting safari in search of musk oxen, caribou, Arctic hares, and majestic gyrfalcons.

At the end of the day, you will return to the hotel to enjoy dinner in the quiet village.

Accommodation.

Day 7: Kangerlussuaq

Breakfast.

Good morning! Not every day do you have the chance to set foot on the ice sheet of Greenland, right?

After breakfast, you will embark on a full-day excursion that will allow you to explore this incredible landscape for 8 hours. Can you imagine walking among ice hills and valleys, surrounded by streams, rivers, waterfalls, and lakes of crystal-clear blue, formed by the melting ice? It is a sight that defies the imagination.

Equipped with crampons and hiking poles, you will venture into this challenging territory, but with the guides' instructions, you will soon master the technique. Who would have thought that walking on the ice sheet, with 500 meters of ancient ice beneath your feet, could be so accessible? Regardless of your level of experience, you will feel ready for this adventure. You will walk across the arctic desert, searching for the perfect spot to stop and enjoy lunch. And the best part? The water you will drink comes directly from a glacial lake. There is no purer experience than this!

Accommodation.

Day 8: Kangerlussuaq - Copenhagen

Breakfast.

Your days in the Arctic have come to an end, but this adventure is not over yet.

After having your breakfast, you will have free time to relax and enjoy the last hours in Greenland.

At the designated time, you will head to the airport to take your flight back to Copenhagen, where you will arrive in the early morning hours.

Day 9: Copenhagen - Spain

Once you arrive in Copenhagen, you will have time to relax at the airport before boarding the flight back home. If the trip felt too short, we offer you the possibility to extend your stay for one more night in Copenhagen, so you can discover a bit more of the charming Danish capital. Would you like to take advantage of this opportunity? Contact us if you're interested.
