Oqaatsut Day Trip with Kayaking from Ilulissat
1 day
Full Day
About this activity
The day will begin with sailing from Ilulissat to Oqaatsut, a traditional Inuit settlement. There, you will be welcomed to the kayak base then briefed on how to handle a kayak and the safety protocols for artic waters. Now the real experience starts, paddling in one of the most stunning landscapes on Earth, Disko Bay. There, you will witness a sea of icebergs of all sizes and shapes, rocks, cliffs, and if you're lucky, even humpback whales! The paddling will take about two hours, with stops for relaxing. You are welcome to bring your own camera, however, your guide will take several pictures along of you the way.
After you are finished kayaking, enjoy a traditional Greenlandic lunch made by the local people. After lunch, you will have time to explore the settlement and its traditional way of life on your own. Finally, sail back to Ilulissat and enjoy the magic light of the midnight sun shining on the huge icebergs. Everyone can do the activity and it counts with all of the safety measures.
Please note: All experience levels are welcome
