Ilulissat Short Break

Day 1: Arrival in Greenland
Flights are available from Copenhagen or Reykjavik to Ilulissat, with a transfer from the airport to the hotel upon arrival. A welcome meeting provides insights into the town, local dining, and excursion options. The afternoon program varies by season: from June to August, a guided hike leads to an abandoned settlement, while the rest of the year features a guided tour of Ilulissat’s rich history. The evening concludes with a welcome dinner at the hotel’s restaurant (drinks not included).

Note: Flights from Copenhagen require a transfer in Nuuk.

Day 2: Ilulissat
After breakfast, the day’s activities depend on the season. In summer (June–August), the day is at leisure, with an optional whale-watching excursion (not included), followed by an evening iceberg cruise under the midnight sun.
