Cruise the biologically rich waters of Skjoldungen Fjord with a marine wildlife specialist, scanning for humpback and minke whales, bearded seals, Arctic foxes on the shoreline, and the wheeling seabird colonies that make this coastline one of the Arctic's finest wildlife corridors.
What to expect
Departing in a heated Zodiac with bench seating and stability rails, you cruise the fjord's kelp-rich margins and iceberg alleys, where feeding activity concentrates wildlife. The guide deploys the hydrophone at cetacean sighting zones so you can listen to whale song in real time — an astonishing moment. Little auks, kittiwakes, and Arctic terns wheel overhead while ringed seals observe curiously from ice platforms. Expect two to three hours of unhurried wildlife immersion with expert narration throughout.
Good to know
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed — this is wild Greenland. Morning departures tend to yield the calmest water and best light for photography. Bring a telephoto lens if possible. Layer heavily — fjord temperatures are significantly colder than on deck.
