Day by Day Itinerary
Copenhagen
Arrive into Copenhagen for your overnight stay before your flight to Greenland. Depending on your flight time you can stay at the Airport hotel or head further into the city centre for the evening.
Ilulissat
Fly to Ilulissat and once you arrive you will take your transfer to your hotel overlooking Disko Bay. Spend the evening at leisure. Don’t forget to head outside to search the skies for a glimpse of the Aurora this evening!
Inuits and Dog sledding
The dog sled is one of the biggest icons for Greenland – a 2000-year-old tradition for the Inuit people. Not many means of transport have survived such a long period – the basic principle is still the same as before the Viking Age and today you will get the chance to experience it for yourself!
Icebergs Up Close
When visiting Ilulissat you should not miss out on a boat tour among the famous icebergs. During one year, more than 48 km3 of ice flows into the fiord. The result is gigantic icebergs, which can be more than 100 meters on each side and with a height of more than 100 meters above the water’s surface. These giants strand at the end of the fiord, giving you the opportunity to sail among them.
Snowmobiling and Northern Lights
Today you will experience the adventure of snowmobiling! Start by driving up through “The Gorge” – a narrow track that cuts through the mountain just behind Ilulissat. From the top, you will have fantastic views of the city and Disko Bay. From here the ride goes over frozen lakes and rugged mountain scenery stopping at the best viewpoints along the way and warming up with a sip of coffee or tea! Tonight you will head out on a beautiful Northern Lights Safari with your guide.
Back to Copenhagen
After breakfast check out and take your transfer back to the airport – you will then fly back to Copenhagen where you have the option to extend your holiday and spend some more time in the popular Danish capital.

From Our Customers
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
