Nuuk Fjord Artic Fishing Adventure

About this experience

In Greenland, fishing is more than a pastime. It has shaped life, food, and traditions for generations.

Leave Nuuk behind aboard a certified closed and heated boat and head into the fjord with your local guide in search of the day's fishing grounds. With quality fishing equipment and bait provided, cast your line for species such as Atlantic cod, redfish, Arctic char, halibut, and wolffish depending on the season and conditions.

Between catches, take in Sermitsiaq, rugged mountains, drifting icebergs, and the vast Arctic coastline. Whales, seals, and seabirds may also appear along the journey, reminding you that here, fishing takes place in one of the world's most extraordinary natural settings.
