Ice, Northern Lights and Dogsledding in Greenland

Hike to the Sermermiut Settlement (2 hours)
Beautiful iceberg vistas provide the setting for the old settlement of Sermermiut, 1.5 kilometers south of Ilulissat. For approximately 4,000 years, various Inuit cultures have lived in the settlement. Hear the story about the lives of the indigenous people and their traditions before the arrival of Europeans in Greenland. See the ruins and touch the permafrost with your own hands.

Northern Lights Tour (3 hours)
The Ilulissat Northern Lights tour takes you out on the water at night, where the dark Arctic sky becomes your stage for the aurora. From the boat deck, you watch as green and purple ribbons of light dance above, their reflections shimmering between towering icebergs drifting silently in Disko Bay. The boat provides warmth and comfort while your guide shares stories about the northern lights, making the experience both magical and memorable.
