As we float silently along Nuuk’s pristine fjord and the enchanting radiance of the midnight sun fills the air, take a journey you’ll never forget.
Our route may change as we search for icebergs, wildlife and waterfalls on our picturesque journey into the fjord. At midnight, we’ll make a toast in honor of “Maliina”, the name of the sun in Greenlandic folklore, which we’ll briefly discuss.
The tour is available in Nuuk from May 23 to July 23, which is also the busiest time of year for humpback whales in the area, so we might get lucky.
