Immersed in the most colorful of landscapes, you will slalom through fjords with icebergs floating past, and you might even spot seals or whales.

Journey to South Greenland
Day 1
Copenhagen
Fly out to the beautiful city of Copenhagen where you will be based for one night. Take the opportunity to explore Nyhavn and everything the city has to offer – including some of the best dining experiences.
Perhaps head to the Meatpacker district to discover some of the amazing restaurants nestled here and then head into the centre for a walk amongst the city.

The Adventure Begins
In the morning transfer to the airport where you will get your flight to Narsarsuaq – heading out to the real back and beyond of South Greenland.
Once you have arrived you will be whisked off by helicopter to experience a hot spring based out in the wilderness. Once you have soaked in the 38 degrees Celsius of nature you will transfer from Narsarsuaq to Itilleq, slaloming through the icebergs to your accommodation for the evening at Igaliku. You have the option to hike to the location or take a car transfer.
Igaliku Hotel & Lodges has cozy accommodation that offers some of the most delicious meals sourced from local products.

Norseman History & Kayaking Amongst the Icebergs
In the morning you begin your next adventure – you will start by transferring from Itilleq to Qassiarsuk where you will discover a fascinating Norseman history. Qaasiasuk was where the Norsemen first settled when they lead there by Eric the Red.
After a spot of lunch put together by local farmers, you will take to the water in the afternoon and experience kayaking out amongst the icebergs!
In the evening you will return to Igaliku
Day 4
Hvalsey Church & Qaqortoq
Today you will set off on your boat to discover Hvalsey Church Ruin – hiding out on an island and with its history going back to the 14th Century. This is one spectacular journey where you will almost feel like you are the only people on the planet. The scenery of islands, icebergs, and the gorgeous green colours of South Greenland is quite something to get immersed in.
In the afternoon you are transferred to Hotel Qaqortoq and have the evening to relax and explore this small but bustling town.

Day 6
Back to Civilisation
Transfer to the airport and head back home – but your trip doesn’t have to end here if you don’t want it to. There is plenty to discover in Denmark, or you might like to crossover into Sweden – speak to our Adventure Artists to find out where you might like to extend your stay.
