Day program

Mads Pihl - Visit Greenland
Day 1:
Direct flight from Copenhagen to Nuuk – Greenland’s capital awaits.

Your journey begins at Copenhagen Airport as you set off for the Great North, landing in Nuuk after a 4.5-hour flight. Even from the air, you’ll start to see the dramatic Greenlandic landscape take shape – fjords, ice floes, and colorful houses clinging to rocky cliffs. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our local partner and transferred to the centrally located Hotel HHE Express – a modern, eco-certified hotel where comfort meets sustainability.

After check-in, it’s time to explore Greenland’s vibrant capital.

City Tour of Nuuk

On the city tour, you’ll visit the Colonial Harbor, pass by the National Museum and many other beautiful buildings in the area, and stop by the Greenlandic Parliament. Along the way, your guide will offer in-depth insights into the city’s history, culture, and contemporary life.

Afterwards, you can settle into one of the city’s cozy cafes with a view of the fjord, and in the evening, you’ll find countless restaurants to choose from.

Day 2:
Sail through the fjord landscape to Camp Kangiusaq

After breakfast, one of the tour’s most magical experiences awaits – a scenic boat ride deep into Nuuk Fjord. As you travel through the world’s second-largest fjord system, you’ll pass by sharp mountain peaks and may even spot playful seals or glimpses of humpback whales breaking the surface.

Upon arrival at Camp Kangiusaq, you’ll be welcomed by the camp guide and shown to your cozy glamping tent. Each tent features real beds, warm blankets, and a private terrace with sweeping views of the fjord.

In the afternoon, choose from a variety of activities: try a kayak or paddleboard and glide across the calm waters among icebergs in all shapes and colors – or book a fishing trip and try your luck with rod and reel. Want to explore on your own? We provide trail maps and safety equipment, and our guides are happy to share their best tips on secret routes and the best spots to see wildlife.

As evening falls, gather in the cozy dining tent for a delicious meal made from fresh, local ingredients, lit by candlelight. It’s a sensory journey into the heart of stillness.

Day 3:
Enchanting nature experiences in the wilderness of the fjord

Wake up in Camp Kangiusaq to the sounds of nature as your only alarm clock. Begin your day with a peaceful breakfast and a guided hike, where you’ll learn more about the area’s landscape, flora, and fauna. Walk through low-lying scrub along the fjord’s edge and up to stunning viewpoints where Greenland’s raw beauty unfolds before your eyes.

You can also spend the day enjoying all the camp’s fun gear – paddleboards, kayaks, and more.

In the evening, another delightful dinner awaits in the dining tent, followed by cozy campfire stories about life in the fjord, if you wish.

Day 4:
Farewell to the fjord – back to the city and culture

After a final morning embraced by nature and perhaps one last coffee on your terrace, the boat takes you back to Nuuk.

On the return journey, take in the landscape one more time – perhaps with new eyes after your wilderness experience.

Back in the city, the afternoon is yours to explore Nuuk’s cultural life. Visit the Katuaq cultural center, explore the museums, or browse the charming boutiques for Greenlandic handicrafts. The city is full of life – a fascinating blend of modern Greenlandic daily life and deep-rooted traditions.

Day 5:
Journey Home – With Heart and Mind Full of Impressions

The journey comes to an end, and after breakfast, it’s time to head to the airport. You’ll fly directly from Nuuk to Copenhagen, hopefully with a suitcase full of souvenirs and a camera full of photos – but most importantly, with unforgettable memories of Greenland’s wild and wonderful fjord landscapes.
