Whale watching in Greenland – See the trips here

Go whale watching in Greenland

We love whales. Fortunately, there are 15 different kinds in the oceans around Greenland. Especially in Disco Bay and in the waters around Nuuk, you can get close to one of the most interesting and entertaining ones, the Humpback Whale. You will have the chance to catch a view of it from the coast or, even closer, on a boat trip. In a kayak, it gets even more special. Often you can spot it by the view or the sound of the whale’s breathing through its blowhole. It also comes to the surface when hunting food or playing and jumping out of the water. Its tail is uniquely characteristic and makes it appear big and elegant, when the Humpback shows it just before diving down into the sea.

On this page we have gathered a collection of fantastic trips with plenty of possibility to watch whales. If you are lucky, they even get very close to your boat and say hi.
