Adventures in Disko Bay
In Disko Bay, you find massive icebergs, whales, UNESCO World Heritage, Inuit culture, dog sledding, boat tours, hiking, and inviting lodges.
All year, Disko Bay is the most popular tourist destination in Greenland. This comes down to the stunning nature but also its plethora of adventures.
Ilulissat has its magnificent Ice Fjord, Qeqertarsuaq has a spectacular volcanic and lush landscape with many whales, and Aasiaat is a kayaker’s paradise. In addition, Qasigiannguit offers hiking, whales, and, not least, amazing winter dogsledding.
Towns and lodges
There are four towns in the Disko Bay area and a lot of smaller settlements. They all offer something special.
A Dog Sledding Paradise
Disko Bay is one of the world’s dog sledding hotspots. There are dog sleds and sled dogs in all towns, and going out on the ice or slopes while the dogs in front of you love dragging the sled is a thrilling experience. Our winter tours are highly popular, thanks to the opportunity to try riding a dog sled. In Qasigiannguit, in particular, you can go on some amazing expeditions.
Adventuers on Snowmobile
The snowmobile has become a frequent form of transport, because it adapts to a wide variety of terrains and allows quick access to the remotest places. It is a great adventure to drive through the snow, and with every twist and turn, you’ll be surrounded by the stunning beauty of a winter wonderland.
Northern lights
With Northern Lights, you will be overwhelmed by the illusive, exceptionally gorgeous sight and the physical experience of standing speechless and seeing them up in the sky. The light you see right now will never return. It is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular and beautiful sights of the arctic night.
The Whales of Disko Bay
East Greenland is a haven for explorers and adventurous travelers alike. Like all of Greenland, it has been influenced by the European lifestyle, yet it retains its Inuit roots very much. The East Greenlanders have a very specific and beautiful dialect, which other Greenlanders do not always understand. There are very exciting adventures in Tasiilaq, Kulusuk, and Ittoqqortoormiit.
Inuit Culture in Daily Life
Even though Greenland is in many ways a modern, westernized country, our ancient Inuit traditions are still a very big part of our everyday life. Dog sledding, upholding the handicraft to build kayaks and umiaqs, sewing completely watertight work clothes from sealskin and making the beaded parts of our national costume. You can get to experience all of it!
