Tear through Sisimiut's boundless Arctic tundra on an ATV, past ancient Inuit ruins, wildflowers, and roaming wildlife. This is raw, untamed Greenland at its most exhilarating — a bucket-list ride across the top of the world.
What to expect
You'll mount an ATV and push into open tundra beyond the town's edge, navigating rocky ridges and soft mossy valleys with a knowledgeable local guide leading the way. Along the route, watch for musk oxen, Arctic foxes, and sea eagles soaring overhead. Your guide points out ancient Inuit tent rings and ruins hidden in the landscape, bringing 4,000 years of Arctic history to life. The ride ends with sweeping panoramic views over the fjord and the town below.
Good to know
Tours typically last 2–3 hours; confirm departure time against your ship's all-aboard. No prior ATV experience required. Pre-book directly via Backcountry Greenland's website as group sizes are strictly limited. Dress in warm, windproof layers — tundra temperatures can be deceptive even in summer.
