Eqi Glacier Day Trip: A Journey to the Arctic Wilderness

Eqi Glacier is located on the west coast of Greenland. It stretches out into a shiny fjord 80 kilometers north of Ilulissat. It lies within Disko Bay, a region known for its breathtaking Arctic landscapes and abundant icebergs.

Due to its remote location, the Eqi Glacier is accessible only by boat. The boat journey starts in Ilulissat. We travel by fast-moving boats, small but comfortable and well-equipped at the same time, to ensure smooth sailing. The trip takes approximately 6 hours, allowing ample time to take in the spectacular surroundings before reaching the Glacier. Small groups provide an intimate and fully immersive experience,

As we sail towards the Glacier, we pass small settlements, steep fields, beautiful waterfalls, and incredibly shaped and colored icebergs. Expert guides provide insights into Greenland’s history, geology, wildlife, and the fascinating local ecosystems. As we navigate these pristine waters, we watch for whales, seals, and seabirds.

We always stop at the Glacier for a pleasant lunchtime. Enjoy a delicious lunch on board while soaking in the serene Arctic atmosphere and watching the towering ice walls break off and crash into the sea. We can enjoy the unforgettable view and a stunning display of nature’s power here before returning to Ilulissat.
