Boat Tours in Ilulissat
Boat trips in Disko Bay
Welcome to Ilulissat – a paradise for boat trips!
Ilulissat, located on the west coast of Greenland, is a spectacular destination for adventurous visitors. One of the best ways to explore this breathtaking area is through boat tours offered by various local operators.
Disko Bay is known as an exotic, Arctic gem. Here you will find everything in one place – the cleanest air, the clearest cold water, the largest icebergs, the most impressive glaciers, and fantastic wildlife. In Disko Bay, you will find some of the world’s largest whale species, lots of seals and fish in droves. In other words, the framework is set for a wealth of unforgettable experiences on the water.
There are many exciting sailing trips in the area. Due to the harsh conditions, most sailing trips only take place during the summer period from June to the end of September. We have compiled the most popular boat trips departing from the capital of Disko Bay, Ilulissat, in the list below.

Kayak Experience
In the kayak you are one with the elements. The lapping of the waves against the hull, the deafening silence, the splash of water from the paddle. The Isfjord doesn't look any better than from a kayak.

Boat trip to Eqi with overnight stay in a cabin
Eqi is a very special place. Here we have, as one of very few places in the world, the opportunity to get close to a calving glacier. The encounter with Eqi and the forces of nature is a great experience - and to get the most out of it, don't miss out on spending the night in our glacier lodge.

Boat trip to Ilimanaq with overnight stay in a bungalow
Ilimanaq is a charming little village, located about 30 minutes by boat from Ilulissat. On the boat trip to Ilimanaq we cross the Icefjord, and sail zigzag between the amazing icebergs. There are lots of exciting things to experience at Ilimanaq, but you must not miss an overnight stay in the lodge - this is a true Arctic retreat.
