5h Glacier hike
Description of the tour
On this tour we go for a glacier hike and visit a breath-taking ice cave hidden on a remote glacier on a beautiful little island in East Greenland.
You can start your adventure either from Kulusuk or Tasiilaq. The whole trip will take around 4-5 hours and starts with a beautiful boat ride to the glacier. From Tasiilaq it takes around 40 minutes to reach the little island and from Kulusuk it is a 20 minute ride.
While we make our way over the ocean, we will have the chance to see beautiful fjords, mountain ranges and ice bergs and maybe even witness some of Greenland’s spectacular wildlife! If we are lucky, we might stumble across humpback whales, fin whales, seals or even orcas along the way.
Once our local boat driver drops us off, your qualified guide will introduce you to your safety equipment. This includes helmets and crampons.
Your guide will then safely lead you on the glacier.
The view on the glacier is spectacular and during the easy 30-minute walk it takes to reach the ice cave you will have plenty of time to explore its amazing features like moulins and crevasses.
If you are interested in learning more about what to expect and how to be as prepared as possible for this adventure, we put together a complete and more detailed guide for you here.
We also offer an Ice Climbing + Ice Cave Tour to the same glacier in case you are looking for something a bit more challenging! You can learn more about this tour here.
