After settling into your accommodation, head out for a private walking tour of Ilulissat’s Old Town. 

Wander between brightly painted colonial-era buildings, visit the charming Zion Church—the northernmost church of its kind—and trace the footsteps of Inuit ancestors at the nearby ancient settlement ruins. 

Along the way, your guide will share stories of early Arctic explorers, local legends, and how life continues to thrive in this remote, icy corner of the world.

Sunset Icefjord Viewpoint Walk

As evening falls, lace up your walking shoes for a gentle hike to a stunning Icefjord viewpoint. 

Positioned above the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this peaceful spot offers front-row views of towering icebergs drifting silently out to sea. 

Under the soft, golden glow of the Arctic sunset, your guide will help you capture breathtaking photos and share stories of the ice—its movements, mysteries, and profound cultural significance to the people of Greenland.

Day 2: Icefjord Adventures & Local Encounters

After enjoying Icefjord viewpoints the previous evening, it’s now time to board a boat with your skipper and set sail through the heart of the Icefjord, one of the most spectacular natural wonders on Earth. 

Your captain will tailor the route based on light conditions and iceberg positions, ensuring the best opportunities for photography and quiet moments of wonder. Drift past towering, blue-tinted icebergs, some as tall as multi-story buildings, and hear about the Icefjord’s vital role in Greenland’s ecosystem and cultural identity.

Meet Greenlandic sled dogs and discover how dog sledding remains a vital part of the Arctic’s heritage. This encounter provides rare, personal insights into the endurance and traditions of Greenland’s people.

Northern Lights Watch (Autumn/Winter)

If you’re visiting between September and April, cap off your day with a magical Northern Lights outing. 

Your private guide will take you away from town lights to a carefully chosen spot where the chances of seeing the aurora are highest. Equipped with warm drinks and photography tips, you’ll wait under the Arctic sky for the dancing green, pink, and violet lights to appear—a once-in-a-lifetime sight made even more special by the vast silence of Greenland’s wilderness.

Upon arrival at the camp—accessible only by water—you’ll settle into a peaceful, remote setting surrounded by nature’s grandeur, far from any signs of civilization.

Guided Glacier Lagoon Hike

Spend the afternoon on a guided hike around the shimmering glacier-fed lagoons nearby. 

Walk across soft tundra paths, past wildflower patches (in summer), and along rocky shores where you might spot Arctic fox tracks or migrating seabirds. Your guide will share insights into how the glaciers have shaped these landscapes over millennia. 

Stop for breathtaking views of ancient ice formations floating in the crystal-clear waters—a dream for photographers and nature lovers alike.

Traditional Greenlandic Fireside Dinner

As the sun dips low over the ice, gather at camp for a traditional fireside dinner. 

Your hosts will prepare a hearty Greenlandic meal featuring fresh Arctic ingredients such as fish, reindeer, or berries. Over the crackle of the fire, enjoy relaxed storytelling about Inuit legends, local wildlife encounters, and life lived close to the rhythms of nature. 

If skies are clear, you may even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights shimmering above the ice.

Day 4: Whale Watching & Coastal Life

Today’s private Arctic adventure takes to the water as you join your guide for a thrilling whale-watching safari along the fjord’s edge, keeping a lookout for humpback, minke, and fin whales as they breach and glide through the deep waters.

Visit to Inuit Settlement Site

After your outdoor adventure, deepen your connection to Greenland’s history with a private visit to a nearby Inuit settlement site. 

Walk among the old turf house ruins and stone structures, and learn how Indigenous Greenlanders lived in harmony with these harsh yet bountiful landscapes. Your guide will weave in tales of Arctic survival, migration, and the evolving traditions that continue to shape life here today.

Return to Ilulissat and Leisurely Evening

Return to Ilulissat by late afternoon, where the evening is yours to relax and unwind.

We suggest you enjoy a gentle stroll along the Icefjord boardwalk, pop into a cozy local café for Greenlandic pastries and coffee, or simply savor the Arctic quiet from your hotel.

Our next destination on our seven-day itinerary is Sisimiut, located on Greenland’s west coast, which can be reached by either a short scenic flight or a coastal ferry ride.

Sisimiut Town Orientation Tour

Upon arrival in Sisimiut—Greenland’s second-largest town—you’ll be welcomed with a private orientation walk through its streets. 

Stroll along the colorful harborfront where fishing boats bob alongside wooden homes painted in bright Arctic hues. 

Your guide will share stories about Sisimiut’s long history as a trading post and hub of modern Greenlandic life, blending Inuit traditions with Scandinavian influences in a uniquely local way.

Day 6: Arctic Highlands & Culture

Begin your day with a gentle but rewarding coastal hike just outside town, following well-trodden trails up into the rocky highlands above Sisimiut. 

Your private guide will lead you to breathtaking viewpoints where sweeping panoramas of fjords, distant peaks, and colorful village clusters unfold below. Along the way, learn about the hardy flora and fauna that survive in this northern environment and listen to tales of ancient migration routes and Arctic survival skills.

Fishing with a Local (Optional Ice Fishing or Coastal Angling)

Depending on the season and your interest, spend part of the day joining a local fisherman for a hands-on experience of Greenland’s traditional livelihoods. 

Try your hand at coastal fishing in the summer, or in winter, learn how to ice fish through frozen fjords. As you wait for a catch, your guide will share tips, old fishing superstitions, and firsthand stories about life on Greenland’s wild coastlines—a rare glimpse into everyday Arctic life.

Visit to Local Artisan Workshops

Wrap up your day by visiting a few of Sisimiut’s small artisan studios, where Greenlandic artists and craftspeople continue centuries-old traditions. 

Watch beadwork, bone carving, or intricate textile arts being created by hand, and learn about the profound cultural significance behind each piece. Private craft demonstrations can often be arranged, offering the chance for deeper conversations and perhaps even the opportunity to bring home a one-of-a-kind keepsake made in the Arctic Circle.

Day 7: Farewell Greenland

At a time that suits your flight schedule, your driver-guide will provide a private transfer to Sisimiut Airport. 

En route, you’ll have the option to make a few final scenic photo stops, capturing last glimpses of the fjords, fishing boats, and colorful houses that define life along Greenland’s western edge. With heartfelt goodbyes and warm memories, your Arctic adventure concludes—until next time.
