What our customers ask about Adventure Tours & Trips in Greenland
What are the must-do activities on a Greenland Adventure tour?
A Greenland adventure centers around key outdoor experiences including walks on the ancient Qaleraliq Glacier using crampons boat trips through ice-filled Tunulliarfik fjord and treks in the colorful Flower Valley. The UNESCO World Heritage Viking sites in Qassiarsuk offer deep historical context while RIB boat trips take visitors close to towering glacier faces.

The Tasermiut fjord often called the "Patagonia of the Arctic" delivers remarkable hiking with views of Ketil and Ulamertorssuaq peaks. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "Adventure-filled tour with lots of hikes and incredible sights."
What wildlife can I expect to see during a Greenland Adventure tour?
South Greenland's fjords host an array of Arctic wildlife. Visitors regularly spot caribou roaming the Qaleraliq area whales breaching in the Sermilik fjord near Narsaq and seals lounging on ice floes. Seabirds circle overhead throughout the region. Near settlements like Hotel Narsaq and Tasiusaq farm Greenlandic sled dogs are a common sight. One TourRadar traveler shared: "We saw whales during the whole boat trip to Alluitsup Paa which is known as the capital for whales in South Greenland."
When is the best time to visit Greenland for an Adventure tour?
June through September brings stable weather and mild temperatures making it ideal for Greenland adventures. July and August are peak months especially for activities in the south like exploring Qaleraliq Glacier Camp and walking the Flower Valley near Narsarsuaq. Starting mid-August visitors can watch the Northern Lights from spots like the Leif Eriksson Hostel or during evening glacier outings. A TourRadar traveler observed: "The summer weather was perfect for exploring both glaciers and Viking ruins."
What makes Greenland's adventure tours unique compared to other Arctic destinations?
Greenland stands apart through its blend of pure wilderness and living Viking-Inuit traditions. The planet's largest fjord system at Tunulliarfik ancient ice sheets like Qaleraliq and UNESCO-listed Norse ruins in Qassiarsuk create an unmatched setting. TourRadar travelers highlight the chance to "experience untouched wilderness while learning about the unique blend of Norse and Inuit heritage." The intimate access to local life in places like Narsaq and Qaqortoq sets Greenland apart from other Arctic locations.
How much time do you spend doing outdoor activities versus cultural experiences?
Tours typically divide time between adventure and culture with about 60% dedicated to outdoor pursuits like glacier hiking and fjord exploration. The remaining 40% focuses on cultural sites including Viking ruins at Brattahlid near Qassiarsuk and visits to Inuit communities. Qaqortoq offers town exploration and local encounters while Qaleraliq camp emphasizes outdoor adventure. A TourRadar traveler shared: "We got to visit with a native Inuit Greenlander in her home which was so educational."
What type of accommodation can I expect on a Greenland Adventure tour?
Lodging ranges from standard hotels like Hotel Narsarsuaq and Hotel Qaqortoq in towns to rustic options such as Igaliku Country Hotel in remote areas. Some itineraries include nights at wilderness sites like Qaleraliq Glacier Camp in fixed dome tents. TourRadar travelers note that while town hotels provide private bathrooms places like Leif Eriksson Hostel offer shared facilities but excel in fjord views. Remote camps typically operate without electricity limiting device charging options.
