Sea Kayak Greenland: Jewels of the Arctic

14-day trip ~ 8-10 days kayaking ~ Grade: Moderate+

Paddling in Greenland

Join us on a Greenland kayak trip - an expedition voyage of pure exploration to the largest fjords in the world aboard our Polar mothership Polar Pioneer. After exploring and sea kayaking in northwestern Svalbard (Spitsbergen), we cross to Greenland. Here, we'll paddle in Scoresby Sound where the famous big Greenland icebergs are born.

As well as our Arctic sea kayaking adventures, we visit remote Eskimo communities, and expect to see wildlife such as musk oxen, reindeer and arctic fox. In the pack ice we will watch for polar bears, walrus, whales and narwhale. Don't miss out on this fantastic Greenland kayaking adventure - space is limited.
