Location of Adventure

East Greenland

Mandatory Insurance

Since the area we travel to is remote and wild (that's why we go there!), we require medical evacuation insurance for this trip, to ensure our guests' safety. If you decline the medical evacuation insurance coverage offered by Natural Habitat, we request that you send us documentation of the independent coverage you have selected. We will add the cost of a medical evacuation policy to your tour invoice until you provide our office with proof of coverage including your insurance company's name, contact number and your individual policy number. Thank you for understanding that our policy exists exclusively in the interest of our guests' safety.

Important Information About This Trip

There is no better way to see Greenland’s remote and stunning coastal wilderness than by small boat, on foot, and from the seat of a stable sea kayak. We travel by boat primarily in the inner fjord system, which is more sheltered and largely protected from ocean swells and waves. We cruise and paddle among icebergs and along the granite shores of rocky islands. On land, we hike in trailless country over boulder fields, scree and snowfields.

Please note: The itinerary provided is meant as a guideline and is subject to change without notice due to weather and sea ice conditions. On rare occasions, it may be necessary to deviate from our regular itinerary for reasons beyond our control. In these instances we will provide the best available alternative.

Getting There & Getting Home

Arrive at Keflavik International Airport, Iceland, on Day 1 no later than 6:30 am , and depart anytime from Keflavik International Airport  on Day 9. We will meet you on arrival at Keflavik International Airport and transfer you to Reykjavik Domestic Airport on Day 1 so that you arrive no later 9:00 am for our outbound flight to Kulusuk, Greenland. If you arrive in Iceland before Day 1, a prior overnight stay may be required. We recommend arriving in Iceland 1-2 days prior to our trip departure date, in case of unexpected travel delays.
