You can only travel to Glacier Lodge Eqi from Ilulissat. The transport from Ilulissat to Eqi takes place by boat, and this boat tour is included in all stays. The boat departs from either the northern side of the harbor or from Hotel Icefiord. The meeting place is therefore always at Disko Line Explorer's office in the city centre. From here there will be a bus transfer to the boat.
The length and departure time of the boat trip may vary depending on the type of boat used that day. The boat will always depart in the morning, dock in Eqi at 15:00, and be back in Ilulissat between 16:30 and 18:30. The specific time will appear on your ticket.
Only Disko Line Explorer determines which type of boat is used. If your departure time changes after you have booked your stay, you will be informed of this.
