Experience the ultimate day trip and visit both the villages of Kapisillit and Qoornoq!

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

Once at Kapisillit, you will have a chance to explore the village, inhabited by around 60 people, giving you the perfect opportunity to learn more about rural Greenlandic life. You experienced local guide will be able to answer any questions you may have on your visit.

Explore Qoornoq and be sure to ask your local guide about the history of this village and how it came to be almost empty. 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 may also be able to enjoy the icebergs floating by.
