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.

Boat trip to Eqi with an overnight stay in a cabin

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.
