Do Greenland and Iceland need an introduction? Two unique islands that are a dream destination for many. But only a few dare to turn their dreams into reality! Are you one of them? Then let us present our new wonderful program, which includes trekking and kayaking in Greenland, followed by well-deserved relaxation in Iceland. We will spend a full 8 days in the southern part of the world's largest island. You will be immersed in Greenland's rugged nature, get to know the local culture, and have an unforgettable opportunity to see with your own eyes this beautiful and distant icy island with such an ironic name!
During the trip, we stay in simple yet comfortable hotels and hostels, and at almost every campsite you'll have the chance to take a shower and enjoy some time at local campgrounds, while sleeping in tents like true travelers.
On one of the days we will have the opportunity to relax in real hot springs, and that's quite a pleasure in the middle of winter.
We do not cancel or postpone groups. If a consultant gives the go-ahead to buy a ticket, you can safely purchase it. The program will not be cancelled due to our fault.
Experienced Kuluar team leaders will accompany the group throughout the entire route, making your trip as safe and unforgettable as possible! They have already been to Iceland multiple times and know the country in detail.
The consultant who will consult you before the trip has been to Iceland herself and will share details from personal experience!
Over 12,000 participants have already traveled with Kuluar, and 97.8% were satisfied. We're confident you will be too!
We will kayak, see icebergs, and feel the full grandeur of the glacier.
We will dedicate the first day of our journey north to gathering the group and exploring Reykjavik – an interesting and distinctive capital of Iceland. After checking into the hotel, we'll stop for a bite at one of the restaurants right on the ocean shore. Here they serve lobster and cod soup, red and white fish kebabs, and whale steaks. After a delicious meal, we'll go sightseeing in Reykjavik – the Sun Voyager ship, Hallgrímskirkja church, and other less famous but equally interesting sights.
Flight to Narsarsuaq – this is already Greenland. At the airport we meet local guides who will accompany us throughout the entire mini-expedition across the "green land". Next, we have a transfer by motorboat (RIB boat) along the Tunulliarfik fjord to Qassiarsuk, a small settlement. In fact, all settlements in Greenland are small by our usual standards. This is the site of Brattahlíð – the estate of Erik the Red (the Viking who founded the first settlement in Greenland at the end of the 10th century). Here we will be able to see the church that Erik ordered built for his beloved wife, Tjodhild. After checking into the hostel, we will have free time to wander around the surroundings and realize that we have arrived at one of the most remote and exotic places on the planet.
Today we will head to the Valley of Flowers, near which lies a large and beautiful lake with very delicious water.
After waking up and preparing for new impressions, we begin our great journey! We board a motorboat and travel along the already familiar Tunulliarfik fjord toward the Narsarsuaq Mountains, which reach heights of 500 meters here. Today our route will take the group to the Valley of Flowers through the Kiattut glacier. Then we will make a short climb to enjoy a breathtaking view of the lake, the Valley of Flowers itself, the mountains, and the fjord. Tonight we camp in tents at the campsite.
On the fourth day of the journey, our schedule includes a trek to the Qooroq Glacier, one of the most active glaciers in southern Greenland. The glacier moves over 200,000 tons of ice every day. We will see huge blocks of ice breaking off the glacier and falling into the water. An unforgettable sight! After all these wonders, we will climb to the top of the glacier. Overnight camping in tents.
In the first half of the day, the group will descend from the camp and set off on a trek to Narsarsuaq.
In the afternoon, we will take a Zodiac boat trip along the Qooroq fjord. We will see thousand-year-old icebergs and feel the full power of the Qooroq Glacier. And for "dessert" there will be an unusual Greenlandic lunch of national dishes, including seal, whale, and reindeer meat, as well as smoked halibut and cod. In the evening we settle in for the night at the Leif Eriksson Hostel in Qassiarsuk.
Trek to Tasiusaq Farm. Remember we talked about small settlements in Greenland? Well, compared to this farm, all of them were huge, since only 7 people live here, practically in isolation because of the ice and icebergs coming from the Eqaloruutsit fjord. Like on another planet.
This is where our kayaking adventure will begin. We will receive full instruction on behavior on the water and basic kayak handling training. If you have no prior experience – don't worry. Everything will be shown and taught! Tonight we stay overnight at a hostel in Tasiusaq.
We will spend the whole day kayaking on the Sermilik fjord. We will cross the ocean amid the ice against the backdrop of the harsh nature of the world's largest island. At the end of the day, camp will be set up on the shore of the fjord. Then we head into the tundra, from where we can admire views of the Eqaloruutsit glacier. We spend the night in tents.
Kayaking among the icebergs of Kangerdlua. The feeling of paddling a small kayak near huge chunks of ice is indescribable! And we have good news for anglers – fishing on the fjord may be possible in the evening. Overnight stay at a hostel in Tasiusaq.
Today is the last day of our exciting trip. We get up earlier and head to Qassiarsuk, from where a transfer to Narsarsuaq is planned. There will be free time for a walk around town and visiting museums. In the evening, we fly to Reykjavik and, if there's still energy left, take a walk around the city. As an option, you can visit the local pool – it's really good and has a "jacuzzi" with a temperature of +40.
We'll dedicate the first half of the day to the famous "Golden Circle of Iceland" route. We'll see the forefather of all geysers – the now-dormant Geysir – and its younger, more lively sibling, Strokkur. The latter shoots up to about 15 meters high every 5 minutes, so don't worry – we'll definitely catch it. After that, we'll visit one of the country's most beautiful and famous waterfalls – the golden Gullfoss waterfall. Having had our fill of the power of nature, we'll head to Þingvellir National Park to see the rift between the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates. Just imagine – one step and you're already in America =)
After the trip, we'll be sure to grab a bite to eat and head to one of the best geothermal complexes in the world – the Blue Lagoon. After trekking and kayaking in Greenland, a good soak in warm waters full of various minerals is exactly what you need! An unforgettable feeling!
This is the last day of our unforgettable and eventful journey through the northern countries. You'll really have something to tell your friends and something to be proud of. Not many people make it to Iceland, let alone Greenland.
Part of the group flew out yesterday, right after bathing in the Blue Lagoon, while the rest have a free day today. Depending on how much time you have, you can spend it walking around the city or trying your luck on a whale-watching safari.
