Plan your Greenland Safari

A sample of our Greenland Safari Itineraries

Greenland and especially East Greenland is like Svalbard on steroids! Ok, it may not be as wildlife prolific as Svalbard, but it does offer a huge diversity of things to see with its ice-scapes, glaciers, and sheer vast expanses of frozen wilderness.

One of our favourite trips is aboard our 12 berth ships that explore the far eastern coast taking in all of the above, but equally why not head to the heart of Greenland where you can stay in the most stunning wilderness glamping spot with no neighbours for miles around.

The remoteness of Greenland is often considered part of its charm, but it does make it more difficult to explore. With just two flights a week arriving into the eastern coast – one from Akureyri in Iceland and the other from the west of Greenland - most arrivals are by sea, although this is soon to change with he announcement of more international flights from the US. Our chartered expeditions to Greenland’s east coast travel in the summer, when reduced sea ice allows us to better explore the intricate fjord system of Scoresby Sund. West Greenland is slightly easier to access, with airports located in the larger towns of Nuuk, Ilulissat and Kangerlussuaq, although on the ground most people still opt to travel by dog sled.

Iceland, Svalbard and Antarctica have all been ‘on the map’ for a while now, but Greenland is just coming through.

For when to go to Greenland, you have a short season of late August to September to explore the frozen east coast, June to September for balmy days of summer, and December to March for northern lights and winter wonderland.

The Greenland safaris listed below are just a few of the trips we have on offer. For a dedicated Greenland trip, please contact us and we would be happy to chat you through all of the options.
