Each summer, humpback whales travel thousands of kilometres to feed in the plankton-rich

waters of Nuuk Fjord. When the conditions are right they surface and blow near the boat, and

on rarer occasions they breach or slap their tails.

‍

The fjord's deep, cold water draws krill and small fish into shoals, which is what brings the

whales in for the long summer feeding window. Fin and minke whales pass through these

waters too, though both are a rarer sight. Guided from the deck of our closed Targa, you'll keep

watch with experienced eyes who know where the whales tend to appear.

Whales are wild, so some trips bring close encounters and others none at all. When whales do

come close, the boat slows, and the engine cuts entirely once they're alongside.
