Please note: This itinerary only can be seen as an example. The complete tour depends on the weather and ice situation. It’s possible that plans need to be changed during the tour!

Day before the trip: Arrival* in Keflavik and overnight stay at the hotel*. Depending on arrival time, a city tour or a visit of the thermal bath “Blue Lagoon” is possible.

Day 1: Flight* from Iceland to Greenland. Arrival in Kulusuk and transfer to the Icecamp. Settle into lodgings and prepare equipment. Dinner.

Day 2: Diving day with a check dive (iceberg or natural dive). Then combined photo and whale watching tour, alternatively another dive from the boat or from land. Dinner.

Day 3: Day tour to the Sermilik fjord. It is one of the top 10 iceberg-producing fjords in Greenland. Its surrounding glaciers calve a huge number of icebergs, and you can see ice in all colors, forms, and dimensions. Even in the summer, boats are often unable to get too far into the fjord because it is covered almost completely in ice. Here we will do two dives. We can often observe whales (particularly humpback whales, finbacks, and minke whales) on the boat trips. Dinner.

Day 4: Today we would like to visit the village of Tiniteqilaaq (or Tillerilaaq in East Greenlandic). It’s about a half-hour boat ride between ice and icebergs to the small settlement where about 70 people live. The view from the site over the Icefjord is spectacular and there is a small shop where we buy food and fuel for the camp. Back at the camp we offer diving or photo tours to the icebergs. Dinner.

Day 5: Diving day with two dives or alternatively another day tour by boat. For example north to the Hanngletscher or Bruckner Glacier and an abandoned settlement. There are fantastic photo opportunities and the chance of seeing whales is very high. With a bit of luck you can also see the glacier calving. Dinner.

Day 6: Diving day with two dives on icebergs. We can visit a beautiful sandy beach where chunks of ice are stranded when the water level is low. They melt in the sun and form fantastic ice sculptures. Other excursions and activities are also possible, such as hiking Iceberg Alley, a ridge overlooking the icebergs below. From this perspective we see the underwater structures and recognize small meltwater lakes on the icebergs.

Day 7: Land excursion day with different activities or whale watching tour in the morning. Drying and packing of the equipment. Departure preparations. Dinner and enjoying the view over the Icefjord and the mighty inland ice on the opposite side of the fjord from the viewing hill.

Day 8: Departure day. Boat transfer to Kulusuk and from here flight* to Keflavik/Iceland. Overnight stay*, or connecting flight* to home airport.

Day after the trip: Last travel day for those required to stay in Iceland overnight*.

*Flights to Iceland and Greenland as well as hotel stays, transfers and activities on Iceland before/after the tour are not included in the tour price! Important: For delays or cancellations, any additional costs, etc., we assume no liability under our terms and conditions!

The weather conditions during this tour can be difficult. It can cause extensive changes in the expedition course. Storm or fog even might cause complete loss of diving days. Also the ice situation can affect decisively which regions we can visit during the expedition and where we can dive.
