A Day in the Fjord – Your Adventure, Your Choice
For hunters
Explore the mountain slopes and valleys in search of rock ptarmigan. Depending on the season and conditions, you’ll have the opportunity to head into the terrain and experience the thrill of hunting in Greenland’s beautiful wilderness.
Please note: Hunters must bring all their own hunting equipment, including a firearm, ammunition, a valid hunting licence, a backpack, and suitable outdoor clothing.
For hikers and nature enthusiasts
Not interested in hunting? You are more than welcome to join as a passenger and explore the fjord on foot with a local guide.
Enjoy a scenic hike through the stunning Arctic landscape, take photographs, and experience the spectacular panoramic views. The hiking route and terrain may vary depending on the conditions, so the difficulty level and specific sights cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Note: It’s a good idea to rent snowshoes for hunting in the fjord due to the snow conditions.
