Day 1: Keflavík – Qaqortoq

Arrival in Greenland, reception in the airport.
Transfer to Narsaq by RIB boat; with about 1,500 inhabitants, it is one of southern Greenland’s biggest cities.

Introduction and preparation of equipment.
Night in hostel.

Days 2 to 9. Kayaking journey

Presentation of the tour’s guide. Technical introduction session for the kayak and trekking expedition. Start of the kayaking adventure.
After leaving the Narsaq peninsula behind, we will travel through a setting of low-slung islands, with waterfalls and alongside leafy tundra which contrasts with the blue and white of the icebergs. During our trip, we will trek to nearby slopes and visit the hut belonging to Ujaraq, the solitary old fisherman. Longer route around Tugtutoq or shorter crossing the island will be decided upon the weather and ice conditions.
Nights spent in a tent.

Qaleraliq Fjord

We will begin crossing the Ikerssuaq Fjord; the area is largest, and where the chances of seeing whales are greatest. Navigation through the Qaleraliq Fjord. The Qaleraliq glacier, with its three glacier tongues nearly 10 km wide, is the most spectacular in all of southern Greenland.
We will take our time in order to make a detailed visit of the area, and go on excursions with impressive views of Indlandsis, discovering lakes hidden in the tundra, observing the caribou feeding on salts from the fjord, and at night, enjoying the thundering sound of the seracs breaking away in the area’s magical silence.
.

Short glacial trekking into the ice cap

We will pursue paddling direct to the ice. And right in the spot where the rare south-north expeditions crossing the ice cap use to start,
we will hike over the glacier and discover a very small part of its immensity, among the rimes (crevasses), large cracks and drains.
Enjoying a short trekking on one of the oldest masses of ice in the planet. A unique experience.
In the last years, we have seriously noticed the dramatic progress of climate change in Southern Greenland, an area which offers a rare glimpse of the effects of global warming: glacier withdrawal, increase in the amount of ice that has broken of the glaciers…

 Fjords and Glaciers

After leaving Qaleraliq, we will travel into a labyrinthine system of islands and visit several glaciers, some of which can be reached on
foot, and others which we will need the kayak to reach. We will have the opportunity to trek through unique and wild areas, as beautiful
as they are inaccessible, unknown places that we will have the exclusive privilege of exploring. Time for gathering mushrooms and cranberries.

Day 10: Return to Narsaq

We will finish off the return trip to Narsaq travelling through an area full of ringed seals. In this area, there is usually a greater density of ice, slowing down the kayak and sometimes even blocking access at certain locations. Possibility to visit some Inuit ruins in the area.
Arrival in kayak to Narsaq in the afternoon. Gathering of materials.
Free time to visit the city, Inuit market, hunters’ harbour, church, museum, local handicraft workshop, etc.
Night in hostel

Day 11. Transfer to Qaqortoq airport. Flight

RIB boat transfer to Qaqortoq which represents South Greenland capital.
It was founded in 1775, and nowadays has almost 3000 inhabitants.
It’s described as the most charming and attractive town in all Greenland.
Time off to walk around town, where you will discover the beauty of its colourful buildings, the
awe-inspiring landscapes and some of its thirty different rock sculpture designs, spread over
the town. Explore on your own the museum, the fur shops, the traditional kayak club, the
church, the only fountain in the country, and have lunch in one of its restaurants.
