Reykjavik or Copenhagen-Kangerlussuaq-Illulissat
6 days/5 nights | Recommended Itinerary
This exciting tour is a perfect combination of two of the most interesting destinations in West Greeland. Ilulissat, the town filled with magnificent icebergs and Kangerlussuaq, an area filled with abundant arctic wildlife and lots of sunshine lying near the coast. With lots of day excursions you will marvel at this very remote but fascinating country.
Reykjavik or Copenhagen-Kangerlussuaq
Depart on your morning flight to Kangerlussuaq. Upon arrival you will be met at the airport in order to check in at your hotel located right in the terminal. After you check in and freshen up meet your guide and begin exploring the nature around Kangerlussuaq. Make sure you buckle in as you make your way through the desert, valleys, and over mountains in a 4 wheel drive vehicle. You will have numerous photo opportunities as the day progresses, so make sure to bring your camera! Before heading back to the hotel make a stop at the amazing Russell Glacier. Here you may get a chance to see a piece of the iceberg fall into the river below. We hope to see the Muskox, white Arctic Fox and more.
