Charter a small sailing vessel to venture further into the fjord system than tender excursions reach, past Milne Land and toward Bjørnø.
What to expect
You depart from Ittoqqortoormiit harbor aboard a small sailing yacht with a Greenlandic skipper who knows the fjord's moods intimately. Over several hours you sail past dramatic basalt cliffs, ancient Inuit ruins, and possibly musk ox or polar bear sign along the shoreline. Lunch is often served on deck, sometimes with fresh-caught fish. The scale of Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system on Earth, becomes viscerally clear.
Good to know
Must be arranged well in advance via request-a-quote form, ideally months before sailing. Confirm exact return time against your ship's all-aboard call, as sailing schedules depend on wind. Best July-September when conditions are calmest.
