Nuuk Fjord Cruise with Greenlandic Picnic & Local Storytelling

About this experience

Escape the crowds and experience Greenland from the water on a private fjord cruise through Nuuk Fjord. Cruise past towering mountains, cascading waterfalls, Sermitsiaq Mountain, remote islands, and drifting icebergs while your local guide shares authentic stories about Greenlandic culture, traditions, and everyday life.

Enjoy a Greenlandic picnic with locally inspired delicacies and refreshments while taking in the Arctic scenery. Along the way, keep watch for seals, seabirds, and even whales in season (wildlife sightings are not guaranteed). Whether you're visiting Greenland for the first time or fulfilling a lifelong dream of exploring the Arctic, this experience offers an unforgettable way to discover Nuuk Fjord through its landscapes, local flavors, and people.

Solo travelers are welcome by paying the equivalent of the two-pax minimum. This tour is designed as a private experience; however, in rare cases and only with the agreement of all guests, small bookings may be combined.
