Day 1

Welcome to Greenland!

Make your way to Reykjavik, where your adventure begins. You'll fly to Narsarsuaq, located in southern Greenland, to meet your guide and travel by RIB boat to the city of Narsaq. Here you'll head to the nearby supply store and get kitted out with clothing and navigation equipment, ready for the adventure ahead. Settle into your host's kayaking hostel, meet your fellow travellers and enjoy your first night of 24-hour daylight as you acclimatise to the Arctic summer.

Day 2

Navigate the Narsaq icebergs by kayak

Travel by RIB to Qingaarsup Island, where your kayaking expedition will begin. Jump into your stable double kayak and follow the spectacular coastline as you navigate along a fjord, dotted with icebergs from the nearby Eqalorutsit Glacier. The high density of ice will often slow you down and may make certain locations inaccessible, but this only adds to the drama. In the company of friendly ringed seals, cross to the Nuulussuaq Peninsula and get your first glimpse of Inlandis – the polar ice cap. Arrive at your campsite, and if there's time (and depending on the month) you can forage for mushrooms and cranberries. After a hot meal made from your ingredients, settle into your tent to get a good night’s sleep.

Day 3

Naajaat Sermiat Glacier

Break camp and set off in your kayak, passing a group of islands dotted with waterfalls and covered in leafy tundra. Paddle up the Maniitsup Tunua Fjord, surrounded by the peninsulas of Maniitsop and Nuulussuaq, and set up camp in front of the ice cap. You'll be able to enjoy the views of the Naajaat Sermiat Glacier, one of the oldest ice masses on the planet, right from your tent.

Day 4

Qaleraliq Glacier

Kayak around Akuliaruseq and then along Qaleralig Fjord, experiencing some of the most epic glacial scenery in the world, including glacier tongues that stretch nearly 10km wide. Set up camp on a sandy beach and if the weather allows, hike to the viewpoint at Tasersuatsiaq Lake to spot caribou feeding on salts from the fjord. At night, enjoy the thundering sound of glacial seracs plunging into sea, breaking the Arctic's magical silence.

Day 5

Glacier hiking

Paddle to the end of the fjord and trek over the glacier, avoiding deep crevasses and listening to the sounds of the ice creaking all around you. Return to your kayak and continue along the face of the glacier with vertical walls of ice towering above you. Back at camp, get cosy in your tent and listen for the thunderclap roar of the icefall from seracs.

Day 6

Ikerssuaq Fjord

Kayaking, Greenland. Photo: Host/Tasemiut

Break camp, climb into your kayak and paddle around Maniitsoq Island and towards the vast Ikerssuaq Fjord – eyes peeled for whales. It's also a great place to spot Greenlandic seals bobbing in the water or resting on the icebergs that float past. Arrive at your campsite and enjoy another unforgettable night in the Arctic wilderness.

Day 7

Qingaarsup Nunaa and Narsaq City

Kayaking in Greenland. Photo: Host/Tasermiut

Continue the way back towards Qingaarsuup Nunaa Island, kayaking through Ikerssuaq Fjord. This is an area where the chances of seeing whales are greatest, and where enormous ice blocks come from the Eqalorusit and Qorooq fjords. Your trip ends in Qingaarsuup Nunaa, then you'll head to the city of Narsaq. There is time to visit its interesting museum, go shopping in the Inuit market for local handicrafts or visit the hunter’s harbour. Check into the hostel for your final night and head out with your group for one last meal.

Day 8

Hiking

3hrs · 8km · 175m up · 175m down

After a final breakfast in your hostel, return by RIB to Narsarsuaq. From here, you'll head out on an easygoing hike of The Ridge for spectacular views of the Narsarsuaq Glacier. Following trails lined with a variety of plants – many of which are in bloom at this time of year – you'll reach a viewpoint. Enjoy the epic panorama across Flower Valley, the ice sheet, the glacial river and the fjord, all backed by the dramatic mountains. Later, return to Narsarsuaq and check in for your flight to Reykjavik, where your Arctic expedition will come to an end.

The wilderness

For the rest of the expedition, you’ll camp in picturesque locations across Southern Greenland. All camping equipment is provided, except for sleeping bags and sleeping mats which can be rented locally. Each night your guide will help you set up camp and cook you a hot meal to refuel after a day kayaking or hiking. The locations are all remote and give a real taste of the Arctic wilderness, as well as providing plenty of time to fish, forage, hike to viewpoints or just take in the incredible surroundings.

Starts

Keflavík International Airport

Ends

Keflavík International Airport

00:15 (overnight flight departing Narsarsuaq Day 8, arriving Keflavík International Airport +1 day)

Transfers

International flights to Iceland all arrive in to Keflavík International Airport (KEF) which is 55km outside of Reykjavik, and your onward flight to Greenland also departs from Keflavík.

Your included flight to Narsarsuaq (UAK) in Greenland departs from Keflavík International Airport (KEF) at 17:30 on Day 1, so we recommend arriving in to Iceland no later than two hours before to allow a smooth transfer between flights. However, as this is the only flight to Greenland and cannot be missed, we strongly suggest allowing a generous amount of time between your flight connections in case of any disruption, even if that means arriving a day in advance of your trip starting.

The flight between Iceland and Greenland takes three hours and once you land in Narsarsuaq your host will meet you in the Arrivals area, ready for onward travel (by RIB boat) to your accommodation.

On Day 8 you will be dropped back at Narsarsuaq Airport (UAK) in time to catch your included flight back to Keflavík International Airport (KEF) which departs at 20:15 and lands at 00:15 (+ 1 day). Your host recommends spending the night in Reykjavik before continuing your journey home the following day.

There are regular, direct flights to Iceland from airports across the UK, Europe and US.

Mark(November 2023)

Absolutely loved it!! Trip off a lifetime and if you’re thinking about it!! DO IT!! You’ll not regret it

Jack(November 2023)

The trip was amazing from seeing the northern lights to getting into a kayak into one of the most remote places I’ve ever experienced the guides Ruben an Francisco where absolutely great and the group also full of great people the highlight for me was walking across a glacier, I don’t think anything could have been better it was a tough but very rewarding adventure.

Karin(November 2023)
Clare(November 2023)

Great off grid experience

Louise(September 2023)

The guides were great and the Greenland is amazing. I recommend everyone to go- but not in September :-)

Joya(August 2023)

Absolutely incredible trip! Would do it again in a heartbeat. The guides Reuben & Fran and the group really made this trip! The highlight was seeing the northern lights one night and lots of whales. We ended up getting stuck in Greenland an extra day due to a cancelled flight which turned out to be a welcome surprise and extra time together. I would highly recommend looking at the weather before you come because if it’s raining multiple days you will want more clothes than what is listed.

Steven(August 2023)

Phenomenal week. A tonne of unique experiences, including a glacier tsunami, a late night whale sighting and navigating a shifting ice field in the wind. Basically a life changing holiday that I'd recommend to anyone with the appetite for adventure.

Denise(November 2022)

Greenland is a magical place. Surreal experience kayaking amongst Icebergs. Highly recommended.

Hannah(October 2022)

Absolutely fantastic trip. The inspiring and hard working guide Daniella made the experience even more incredible. The highlights were seeing the Northern lights, glacier walking, and whale watching, but really every part of the trip was amazing. I would highly recommend this to anybody who is thinking about visiting Greenland.

Dave(October 2022)

I’ve done quite a few group trips now, and this one was right up there with the best. The way it was organised, the people on the group and the surroundings were all first class. The trip delivered everything I wanted from it and a whole lot more.

Johan(September 2022)

The most amazing trip we’ve ever been on! We got lucky with the weather but even if you’re not as lucky it will be unforgettable. Seals, eagles, caribou and beautiful views around every corner with the northern lights on display during the nights. Never a dull moment with everything to see around you and our wonderful guides with so much knowledge just made everything even better. Our whole quite diverse group of people but at the same time very like minded was the cherry on top to make the trip quite possibly unbeatable. We might just have to go again… :)

Angela(September 2022)

This trip was incredible. There was so many highlights including kayaking around icebergs, hiking on the icecap, seeing a glacier up close, kayaking with a humpback whale, seeing reindeer, eagles, dolphins and seals and seeing the northern lights. Our local guide Daniella was very friendly and knowledgeable and nothing was to much trouble for her. She really made sure we had the trip of a lifetime.

John(September 2022)

I finally made it to Greenland 3 years and 4 cancellations after booking - all of which were made very easy by Much Better Adventures. I was expecting this to be a great trip but it turned out to be even better than I'd hoped for. All the expected things were there like paddling around icebergs through deep fjords and sleeping in amazing places but we were also blessed by two amazing displays of the Northern Lights and a hump backed whale that swam with us for over an hour. An astonishing trip. A good level of fitness is needed and as our wonderful guide Daniela said at the beginning, don't underestimate the effort you'll need when you're not in the kayak!

Andrew(September 2022)

Kayaking next to a humpack whale for about an hour surrounded by icebergs - ticked off the bucket list! Once in a lifetime experience that is worth the risk. Highly recommend the trip!

Dave(September 2022)

The actual kayaking and area was amazing. The host unfortunately not very good and more interested in money

Sandy(September 2022)

Amazing scenery, can’t believe I’ve kayaked in the icebergs! What an adventure. Peace , totally off grid surrounded by beauty

Denise(September 2022)

After the tour had been cancelled for two years due to Covid. I finally made it to Greenland in Aug 22. And it was worth the wait. The scenery was amazing. Very surreal kayaking past huge icebergs.

Linda(September 2022)

What an amazing trip. Greenland was mind blowing. Daniela the guide was superb and also the group was a perfect match. But everybody should be aware of how cold, wet and exhausting it could get before booking.

Eoin(September 2022)

Greenland is such a beautiful place! There was something lovely just being there. What made the trip was that the guides and people were brilliant.

Helen(September 2022)

This trip is beyond anything you could imagine, from the moment we stepped off the plane in Greenland it was a true adventure. The people were fantastic, the scenery is jaw dropping, the guide was full of stories and knowledge and sea kayaking is such a great way to see Greenland. This is a true wilderness experience - where else can you swim next to icebergs and go to sleep at night heating the glaciers breaking - oh and some Northern Lights thrown in there too!

Trish(September 2022)

What a spectacular adventure! The host Daniella was simply amazing. We left a lovely well deserved tip. If you're not particularly active/fit it is well advised to get some cardio in before you go as some points are challenging but so worth the effort. Don't be put off but do be prepared for some serious activity over long days. Just book it...I promise you won't regret it 😉

Mark(September 2022)

Overall experience was great, however, the equipment used is in bad need of replacement. The company budget for new equipment every 3rd year, which is unacceptable. Don’t let the description fool you, this is not a 5 star trip, you will be in ageing tents, dry suits which fall apart and the ‘rubber boots’ are wellies, so if you have your own equipment, bring it! For all the faults with the company, our tour guides (Daniela and Miguel) were fantastic and had the knowledge and energy which really made our trip.

MBA Staff Response: We thank you for your feedback Mark and we were equally disappointed to learn that not all of the equipment was up to scratch but can confirm that our local host in Greenland has since purchased new equipment and tents.

Holly(September 2022)

Wow what a trip! South Greenland is by far the most wild place I've been to and this is truly an adventure. Kayaking past icebergs and sleeping next to the glacier never got old. Our guide Daniella was amazing and made sure we were always safe and enjoyed ourselves. The pace and difficulty of the kayaking was manageable and never felt like too much. Being completely off the grid and self sufficient for 6 days was really rewarding. This is not a relaxing a trip but if you want a complete adventure, this is the trip to go for!

Nicole(September 2022)

This trip was incredible and far surpassed any expectations I could have had. Icebergs, a glacier walk, camping under the northern lights and kayaking alongside a humpback whale made this experience one that will be tough to beat going forward. A fantastic group of individuals and our friendly, knowledgeable guide Daniella really were the icing on the cake. Speaking of cake, worth noting you'll never go hungry on this trip! Highly recommended!!

Stewart(September 2022)

This was certainly a ‘much better adventure’. An expedition of epic proportions. We all arrived as strangers and by the end of day 1 we were friends that has continued long after the expedition ended. The most amazing part was navigating your kayak through the mini iceberg field as you came to land on the beach to set up camp. This was soon followed by a dip in the ice water with my fellow adventures. This is truly an adventure that beats all over adventures I have been on.

Helen(September 2022)

Incredible trip that was really well managed - Daniela is an amazing guide!

Laura(September 2022)

This trip was awesome, I would recommend to any experienced 'outdoorsy' folk. Greenland is a very special place to visit - by far the most undeveloped, wild place I've ever been. Paddling all day through fjords and between huge icebergs, and camping in some really remote wild spots was such a privilege. For me the 'challenging' aspect of the trip was not such much the kayaking but more the mental aspect of being off-grid for so long. Some days were so wet and cold, and difficult to warm up again that made it a real mental challenge. My advice is to bring really high quality kit, and as many thermal layers as you can!

Ashley(August 2022)

A must-do experience. South Greenland is beautiful, and kayaking is a lovely way to experience the fjords, glaciers, and icebergs up close. The guides (Alvaro and Rosa) were wonderful and so knowledgeable.

I consider myself to be a fairly active person with limited kayaking experience, and I found the kayaking to be challenging but very doable.

Rowena(August 2022)

Being in our mid-fifties and our son being 20, shows this trip is great for adventurers of various ages. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! The host Danielle was an excellent all-round expedition leader. Her technical guidance, local knowledge and energy were first class. The Glacier walk was the main highlight but the serenity of the kayaking was beautiful. The wild aspect of the trip was really enjoyable and being off-grid for 6 days was exciting and relaxing. The weather was lovely for us and it wasn't cold - blue skies and flat water (mostly) Kayaking around icebergs of all sizes. Wow, what a trip.

Maria(August 2022)

Great trip! Challenging physically but not too hard not to enjoy it. Great guides and company. Nice tents, kayaking equipment and sleeping bags to rent. Stunning scenery and definitely top 10 experience! Bring blowup pillow for camping comfort, cap to catch water from paddle and your favorite snacks. I would try to bring some fruit from local shop, too. I wish I could do this again

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.

What's the number?
It works out on average at 867kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.

But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:

  • Driving 1000miles/1609km would be approx. 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person if there was 2 of you in it).
  • A return economy class flight London - New York would be approx. 1,619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
  • 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approx. 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.

What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.

Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.

Sea currents bring huge amounts of ice in from the Arctic Ocean, which sometimes block Southern Greenland from May to mid-June. In July and August, the icefield typically poses no obstacle and the sea in the region is full of icebergs. Every season is different, however, and should sea ice persist, your expert guide will help you to navigate an amended route.

This trip has been planned so that anyone in reasonably good physical condition can participate. However, as you'll be kayaking for 3-5 hours (15-20 km) per day, it's a good idea to do some cardio and upper body exercise in the run-up to departure. The trip is not recommended for anyone with serious back problems, as you'll need to carry the kayaks into and out of the water. It's not necessary to have any previous kayaking experience, although it's a good idea to try it out beforehand to make sure that you enjoy it. The kayaks themselves are double kayaks – stable and easy to paddle and navigate. If you have extensive kayaking experience it's possible to undertake this trip in a single kayak – if this is the case, please contact your host in advance of the trip.

There are no polar bears in this part of Greenland during the summer period, when this trip takes place.

A RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat), sometimes known as a Zodiac, is an open boat that's fast, flexible and very safe. A special coat is provided to protect you from the elements whilst on board.

The kayaks themselves are very stable, double sea kayaks which are easy to paddle and navigate. If you have extensive kayaking experience it's possible to undertake this trip in a single kayak, but please contact your host in advance of the trip to request this and discuss your experience with the team.

If you weigh more than 95 kilos or are over 1m 95cm tall, please check with us before booking this trip as we'll need to ensure that the kayaks and equipment provided are suitable for your comfort and safety.

Southern Greenland is famous for offering some of the best places to view the northern lights and if you're travelling from mid-August through to the end of September there's a good chance that you'll see this spectacular natural phenomenon. The Aurora Borealis occurs all year round, but cannot be seen during May, June and July in Greenland due to the presence of the midnight sun.

Sure can! Over 70% of our travellers travel solo, it’s a great way to meet like-minded people.

This tour runs between July and September when the weather warms and the sea ice breaks up and allows passage. The weather in Greenland is very changeable and whilst it's usually pleasant, it's essential that you bring appropriate clothes for both cold and rainy weather. July is the typically warmest of these months, with temperatures often reaching over 15ºC and flowers coming into bloom. Whilst in August, temperatures drop to between 5ºC and 10ºC and the nights can be cold. In September, temperatures are usually between 5ºC to 8ºC during the day but may reach -5ºC at night.

Greenland is the wildest country in the northern hemisphere. Combined with the fact the infrastructure is almost non-existent, this means that daily itineraries may not always run exactly as planned. All activities are subject to change in order to adapt the journey to the weather conditions, sea conditions, or technical/logistical difficulties, so this trip requires a degree of flexibility from the traveller. Occasionally, some activities may be cancelled because of weather or ice conditions.

In the event the itinerary needs to be changed and different accommodation is required, this will be included (provided that it is within the trip dates).

Flights to Greenland operate with Icelandair from Keflavik (Iceland). Whilst your local host facilitates booking the flights to/from Greenland, they have no responsibility for the flights themselves, and the flight is subject to the relevant airline's terms and conditions. Therefore, if your flight to Greenland is delayed due to poor weather, please liaise directly with the airline. Your local host will monitor the flights and collect you on arrival in Greenland, but can provide no further assistance regarding delays from Iceland. This only happens rarely, but it is possible.

For current advice about travelling in Greenland, have a read of the UK Foreign Office pages.

Our local host requires a minimum number of participants to operate this trip and therefore, on some departure dates, you may be joined by people who haven't booked through the Much Better Adventures website. This ensures that your host can offer all of the activities. But rest assured, anyone joining you is in search of an active, outdoor adventure, just as you are!

Our recommended travel insurance provider is Campbell Irvine.

Travel insurance is compulsory for all of our adventures and you are required to provide your policy information before departing.

Your insurance should include adequate protection for overseas medical treatment, evacuation/repatriation, your baggage and equipment and the specific activities involved on your adventure. We also strongly recommend it includes cancellation and curtailment insurance, should you be unable to join your trip for specific reasons such as illness.

We fully endorse Campbell Irvine as their insurance offers all of the above, so get in touch with them or call on 020 7938 1734 to get your insurance sorted. We suggest that you book travel insurance as soon as you book your adventure, just to cover you for any last-minute life changes. We know you’re an active lot and injuries do happen!

We automatically convert prices from the local currency that a host receives to your chosen currency. We update our exchange rates on a daily basis so this does mean that prices displayed on the site are subject to currency fluctuations, which is why you may see them change over time.

If you wish to change the currency you pay in, head to the bottom of the page.

All of our group adventures are specially designed for adults to enjoy (18+) as we want these adventures to bring together outdoorsy people who are truly like-minded. Children can be accommodated on some private departures.

You're always in good company on one of our adventures.

Our trips are typically made up of a mixture of solo travellers and small groups of 2 or 3 friends, with most in their 30s-50s.

Our sociable adventures are solo-friendly by design and naturally attract outdoorsy people with a shared mindset; a love for adventure, a desire to push themselves and meet awesome, like-minded people along the way.

It’s this camaraderie that has so often turned a great adventure into a life-changing one.

Don't just take our word for it:

  • 95% of people rate the group dynamics on our trips 5/5
  • 90% of people recommend joining a trip to make new friends
  • 75% of people have met people on our trips that they would now consider friends
