Packing Checklist - What Should I Wear?

Here you will find advice and guidance for packing for your trips with Arctic Excursions in Greenland.

The right clothing is an essential prerequisite for getting the most out of your journey. Our destinations are ideal for active holidays in nature, all year round. We have many years of experience with what is right to bring on a trip to the Arctic.

In general, the dress code in Greenland is casual and practical. At restaurants, you are equally welcome in jeans and a sweater as in a jacket and tie.

Regardless of the season, dressing according to the layer principle is recommended, where the outer layer should be water and windproof. In summer, both shorts and short-sleeved t-shirts can be comfortable. However, you should always remember to keep a sweater and long pants ready as the weather can change quite suddenly.

If you have any questions about apparel or you need to buy new ones, we recommend that you contact your local sporting goods store. Here you can get advice and guidance. These stores usually have a large selection of smart and practical clothing that can be used all year round – both as everyday wear and when traveling.

Bringing the right clothing is the prerequisite for you to get the best out of a trip where much takes place outdoors and in the world’s most beautiful nature. This is our suggestion for a packing list that covers summer trips in Greenland for you who are going on a boat trip and for you who are going on a trip where you will go on a number of day hikes.

Autumn can be both cold and warm, so a good recommendation would be to bring the same clothes that can keep you warm on an ordinary winter day.

Cold is something you have to deal with when you are in Greenland in winter. With proper clothing and a few precautions, the cold is bearable and adds an extra dimension to the experience. Most people who travel to Greenland in winter spend most of the day outside to get as many experiences as possible. This means you must be dressed warmly from head to toe, from the innermost to the outermost layer.
