Our most booked adventures.

These are the experiences our guests return for year after year. Not because they are the biggest attractions in Greenland, but because they offer something genuinely special when shared with local people who know the area.

Glacier expedition

EQI: The Calving Front Expedition

Eqi is one of the few places in Greenland where you can sit quietly in a boat and watch an active glacier break apart in front of you. Even after years on the water, it is something we never get tired of seeing. Local skipper, packed lunch and hot drinks included.

Whale safari

Whale Watching in Disko Bay

Every summer the humpback whales return to Disko Bay. Some days they appear close to town, other days we search among the icebergs. That uncertainty is part of the experience. Heated cabin, small groups and respectful encounters with the animals.

Why travel with us?

Ilulissat is our home.

We don’t just guide visitors through Greenland. We share the places we know, the stories we grew up with and the experiences we still enjoy ourselves.

Meet Palle and the team

Palle Jerimiassen · Founder & local guide

01
You sail with the host himself
Palle meets you at the harbour, skippers the boat and answers the questions himself. No call centre and no rotating guides.
02
Small groups, our own boat
A handful of guests on board means there is time to stop when whales appear or the light changes over the ice.
03
We live here all year
Icefjord, dog sleds and northern lights are not a season for us. We are out on the water and on the sea ice every week, in every kind of weather.
