Northern Lights and Winter Tours in Greenland
Greenland is astonishingly beautiful in the winter, when the deep snowfall and ice stretch as far as the eye can see – and the Northern Lights sparkle and swirl in the night sky overhead. It is also one of the best places to see the Aurora, with an average of 300 clear nights a year.
Watching the Northern Lights from your own private cabin on a small-ship Arctic cruise or heading out into the iceberg-filled fjords for a private viewing experience is a magical moment, while guests staying in locations like Kangerlussuaq can capture the lights against a background of the charmingly coloured Greenlandic houses and the ice sheet beyond.

Greenland Cruises and Coastal Adventures
Whale watching safaris are one of the most in-demand excursions within a Greenland tour package, and for good reason! Scenic fjord expeditions are a rare chance to get up close with humpback, minke and fin whales during the warmer summer, while in the winter, you can watch for beluga, narwhales and even blue whales in the deeper waters.
The staggering ice formations are vastly impressive, and at each stop, you can explore the local Inuit culture, visit historic Viking settlements, and take the time to hike and explore off the beaten track, with Disko Bay a highlight with its volcanic landscape, active glaciers, and rich cultural heritage.

Greenland Adventure and Nature Holidays
Travellers who adore nature and want to recharge and disconnect from the pace of everyday life are spoiled for choice in Greenland, with everything from walking tours and kayaking experiences throughout the midnight sun season in the summer, to Arctic wildlife trips during the cold winter period.
Set against dramatic coastlines, rugged glaciers, and captivating sunsets, visitors can explore by sled to see eagles, Arctic wolves, and lemmings, head to the north and east to catch a glimpse of the polar bears, or travel to Greenland National Park. The largest national park in the world boasts endless trails and routes and is home to giant walruses and countless Arctic bird species.

For guests who prize relaxation, the hot springs in Greenland are ideal, with springs dotted around the islands, including the Uunartoq hot springs in the east, and those on Disko Island close to Ilulissat, with a balmy temperature that thaws chilly feet and soothes stresses away.
We can also suggest Greenland tour packages with private helicopter tours, gourmet fine dining, exclusive cruises, fjord excursions, and Icefjord tours, which take you over the spectacular Ilulissat Icefjord. This UNESCO World Heritage site needs to be seen to be believed.

Beth noted that the flexibility we offer, with local guides keeping a careful eye on the weather, was appreciated, telling us, 'Antonio is our guide, and he is perfect. Adorable even! The RIB ride was fantastic yesterday. Seems every day is planned as it comes up due to logistical concerns, so we just go along for the ride! So far, the weather has been good, although rain is always in the forecast...'

Sunithi commented on the warmth of Arctic clothing, which made icy temperatures feel comfy and warm. She said that 'Kulsuk was wonderful! The first view from the aeroplane window was breathtaking! The sun was shining brightly, it seemed very near, and the sky was clear. It was 2C but I did not feel it. The 6km return walk to the village was very pleasant.'
