Responsible + Sustainable Adventure Travel

The best way to understand Greenland is to visit. There is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet about Greenland but nothing compares to experiencing it for yourself.

You can visit mainstream destinations such as Ilulissat, Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk on your own or with groups. However, I serve remote areas only in the east and west of Northern Greenland. The destinations I go to are complicated to get to and usually involve several flights, helicopters and ATV or snowmobile… just to get there. It then requires relationships to get things done. These include Ittoqqortoormiit, Qaanaaq, Savissivik, Siorapaluk, Upernavik, Uummannaq, and Qeqertarsuaq. The only tourism providers in these towns are Greenlandic-owned and all of your interactions will be with locals and licensed hunters and you will be directly supporting their livelihoods.

Traveling in small groups or pairs helps reduce cost but it is not cheap. Your budget should be a minimum of $10,000 USD per week (not including flights or gear) if you’re coming as a pair sharing a room (2 pax - recommended) or $7000 per week if you come alone. If wildlife is a priority then budget 2 to 3 weeks (in country - not including extensive travel time to these locations) and time it appropriately based on the ice conditions and holidays in Greenland like Easter and the hunting schedule. These are things that we know well and can help with.

Last, it’s very important to respect the land, the people and the traditions. The towns I visit are subsistence communities. All of them hunt marine mammals. There are no restaurants in these communities and the general stores don’t have much in terms of food. If you have dietary restrictions, remote Greenland is not for you unless you bring your own dry food supply and ship it to Greenland months in advance at a huge expense and no guarantee that it will arrive. You usually have to eat the local food which is some fish and the marine mammals described above. Ilulissat and Nuuk can be accommodating, however.

In 2023, I took the pledge to be a responsible and sustainable tourism partner with the Government of Greenland’s Tourism Board. This means that we pledge to work together to promote local products, local businesses, local culture, and support local livelihoods. I have vetted all of my suppliers and I’m proud to say they are 100% locally owned in the towns we visit.

Bottom Line: If you are interested in visiting the remotest towns in Greenland, my vendors and I deliver experiences that no typical traveler could ever hope to arrange on their own. If you can dream up something you want to do, we will make it happen provided it’s possible, legal, and ethical.
