Sermilik Ice Fjord Boat Expedition with Icebergs & Wildlife

Glide through Sermilik Fjord — one of East Greenland's most dramatic ice-choked waterways — on a private small-group boat tour past cathedral-sized icebergs, drifting pack ice, and Arctic wildlife. This is Greenland at its most primordial and utterly bucket-list.

What to expect

Board a sturdy open or semi-enclosed boat from Tasiilaq harbour and head into Sermilik Fjord, weaving between house-sized icebergs calved from the Helheim Glacier. Your local Greenlandic guide reads the ice and weather in real time, positioning you for extraordinary photography. Watch for humpback whales, minke whales, and Arctic seabirds alongside the ice. The silence between berg and boat, broken only by distant calving cracks, is profoundly moving.
