Immerse yourself in both nature and history on a tour to Kangeq / Håbets ø an abandoned settlement steeped in inuit and beginnings of Greenland’s colonial history.

Departing from the Tide Water Steps, a short distance from the Nuuk city centre, jump into our comfortable Targa boats, with our knowledgeable local guides who will take you to explore the waters of Nuuk and Kangeq / Håbets ø.

Arriving at Kangeq / Håbets ø, explore the old weathered houses and their quiet church, surrnounded by the Arctic beauty of Greenland. Your guide will be more than happy to tell stories and answer any questions you have about this village. Including the history and how it has come to be empty.

During your journey, you can either enjoy the scenery from the warm cabin or enjoy the purest air in the world by relaxing on the outside deck! During your journey, you may catch sights of whales, eagles, seals and reindeer if you are lucky!
