- Seashore camping and viewpoint peaks
- Visit remote Inuit communities

With its vast central icecap and rugged, fjord-cut eastern coastline, Greenland has one of the most spectacular landscapes in the world. This polar hiking holiday shows this off to great effect, as we make a series of walks and explorations amongst the fjords and viewpoint summits in the vicinity of the town of Kulusuk. Using boats to move between the most scenic locations, we enjoy a succession of stunning day-hikes through flower-carpeted valleys and along the rugged coastline of East Greenland. We also visit the brightly-painted villages of the local Inuit people, such as Tiniteqilaaq, home to hardy fishermen and hunters. Close to the Arctic Circle, this 16 day hiking tour of the remote coastline of East Greenland is a very different trekking holiday!
Is this holiday for you?
This trip involves only moderate or easy hiking with mostly good underfoot conditions. However, during the expedition we use remote campsites only accessible by boat and will be self sufficient throughout.
