Whale Safari in Nuuk
The boat tour sails in the fiord of Nuuk, where you will get a chance to view the colourful houses from seaside.
The captain and the guide actively hold a look out for whales and maybe with the help of the passengers, you might spot a whale or two. Seals, Icebergs, seabirds and the beautiful waterfall coming off the Sermitsiaq Glacier are also in focus on this tour.
We find, that 3 hours is the perfect time in Nuuk to get to the whales.
But of course, we do not offer any form of guarantee of seeing the whales as this is wild animals, that move around at their own free will.
The deep fiords, some places all the way down to 600 meters deepth, is the perfect places for the great gentle giants, the humpback whales.
The humpback whale is one of the animals in the world that moves furthest.
They come to Greenland during the summer, from June-september to eat large amounts of krill and small fish. The whale typically comes from Haiti and Puerto Rico, where they breed in winter. Humpback whales can grow up to 15 meters long and can weigh up to 30 tons.
The humpback whale is the whale we usually see in the fiords around Nuuk, and it is easily recognizable on the beautiful tail. To experience these giants of the sea at close range is almost a spiritual experience that overwhelms many.
