Paddle silently through the same fjord waters navigated by Inuit hunters for millennia, weaving between glittering icebergs in a sea kayak. Few experiences place you this intimately inside the Arctic's ice-carved wilderness.
What to expect
After a thorough safety briefing and fitting of drysuits, you'll launch from the waterfront and paddle into Sisimiut's fjord system, drifting past towering icebergs that glow aquamarine in the Arctic light. Your guide shares the Inuit tradition of reading water and ice, turning every moment into a masterclass in Arctic navigation. Keep your eyes peeled for ringed seals porpoising alongside your kayak and white-tailed eagles circling the cliffs above. The return paddle offers a perfect perspective of the town's colourful colonial houses rising from the shoreline.
Good to know
