Kayak Experience

In the kayak you are at one with the elements. The lapping of the waves against the hull, the deafening silence, water splashing from the paddle. The Isfjorden doesn't look any better than seen from a kayak.

Eqi is a truly unique place. Here, in one of the few locations worldwide, we have the opportunity to get close to a calving glacier. Experiencing Eqi and the forces of nature is extraordinary—and to make the most of it, don't miss the chance to stay overnight in our glacier lodge.

Boat trip to Ilimanaq with an overnight stay in a bungalow.

Ilimanaq is a charming little settlement located about a 30-minute boat ride from Ilulissat. On the way to Ilimanaq, we cross the Icefjord, zigzagging between the stunning icebergs. There’s plenty to explore in Ilimanaq, but don’t miss out on an overnight stay in the lodge - it’s a true Arctic retreat.

Difficulty Level
1: Easy

An easy tour means that you must be able to walk a few kilometers in slightly hilly terrain. Like taking a walk on paths in the woods, with a little detour every now and then. You must also be mobile enough to be able to board a boat, even if it may sway a little.

2: Moderate

Accessible to anyone with good health, who is used to off-road walking and hiking. When it comes to sledding, we call it moderate, as you may have to get off the sled and walk / run next to it. In addition, you need to have a healthy back as there will be bumps along the way.

3: Challenging

On a challenging hike you must be able to walk up and down steep hills. You may also have to walk on loose rocks and cross streams, and walk on snow/ice. Involves hiking with a backpack. When challenging is used in connection with sledding tours, it is because we expec that you can walk / run after the sledge up hills, if this is needed. 

4: Demanding

On a demanding hike we expect you to be in good physical shape. This means that you can hike long distances, maybe during several days, and that you can climb many altimeters during the day. Eg. our hike to the Inland Ice, where 1000 altimeters and 20 km must be climbed in one day. Demanding hikes involve hiking with your own backpack.

Strenuous

Expedition level. Requires considerable effort and perseverance. Only suitable for people in really good physical shape.

Besøgende til Glacier Lodge Eqi

Glacier Lodge Eqi, er beliggende på fjeldet 100 m over vandet. Vi anbefaler derfor at bagage medbringes i en rygsæk, da stigningen ikke gør det muligt at medbringe en kuffert. Bemærk, at landgangen ikke er handikapvenlig. Alle vandreture i Eqi, samt vandring på egen hånd bør betragtes som fjeldture der går fra udfordrende til meget krævende.
