Jump on board and explore Qoornoq, a fishing village abandoned in the 70s and now a summer getaway for locals. Walk amongst a colourful village, almost frozen in time.

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 roughly 50km into the Nuuk Fjord system, the second largest in Greenland!

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, icebergs, eagles, seals and reindeer if you are lucky!

Explore Qoornoq and be sure to ask your local guide about the history of this village and how it came to be abandoned. This village full of history is the perfect place to explore what life was like in these villages and the colourful houses make it great for photography. As Qoornoq is deep into the Nuuk Fjord, you might also be able to enjoy the icebergs floating by.
