Whale-safari
Elias Jørgensenip Aqq, 3952 Ilulissat
Go on an unforgettable whale watching in Ilulissat, where you will have a completely unique experience!
We sail in an authentic dinghy with space for up to seven people, allowing you to get closer to nature and experience the whales in their element — completely free of disturbances and the noisy steel boats.
On our tours we sail out into the majestic disco bay at Ilulissat, where we often spot impressive humpback whales, and with a little luck also the rarer fin whales. We sail with respect for wildlife and are happy to stop the engine so that the whales can get closer to us — entirely on their own terms.
Our small boat offers you a more intimate and quiet experience where you can really feel the forces of nature and enjoy the tranquility of the sea. This trip is ideal for those who want to get close to the whales while showing respect for the animals and their natural behavior.
Are you ready to experience the raw, magnificent nature of Greenland in a completely new way? Sign up for our whale watching and let us take you on a journey you'll never forget.
