The accommodations in Western Greenland are located in the center of Nuuk with choice of restaurants to walk to, and boat excursions in heated cabin with bathroom on board.

Greenland will also include one evening of ‘Glamping’. Your private boat will cruise along the fjords and end up at your glamping site in which you will overnight one evening under the stars.

There is a pathway from the dock to the tent site (see images) and an ATV is on site should someone need assistance. Anyone who is reasonably fit and able to handle their own gear will enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. We also highly recommend taking a collapsible walking stick should you decide to venture further afield.

*A new Nuuk Greenland airport is expected to open in November 2024 in which case there may be direct flights from the US & Canada to Nuuk. If this is the case, then the Iceland round-trip flight from Keflavik to Nuuk can be removed and deducted from the cost as well as two overnights in Iceland.

Pending any airport/airline changes Strabo has included in this pricing, the round-trip flight from Iceland to Greenland, which is approximately $1250 per person.

What to Expect

    Enjoy five evenings in Greenland in very comfortable accommodations. Daily excursions as well as boat excursions in Greenland. Weather permitting, there will be two chances to photograph the Northern Lights, one from your Glamping overnight stay and the other in Nuuk. All participants need to be able to get in and out of boats with their camera gear in hand (which are easily accessible via docks) and go out on various walks during your stay. Strabo Tours will distribute information on recommended flights and if additional days will be required.

    Be prepared for early morning and evening cold temps, with long hours outside each day. Given this information, you will be amazed by the landscape and imagery you capture in these beautiful, untamed settings. It’s a must see for all photographers.

    Meals will be of the local variety, which will consist of seafood, and lamb, with limited meat and chicken while in Greenland. Notify Strabo Tours of any dietary restrictions. You may wish to pack specific snacks in your checked luggage.

    It is fairly common for flights (domestic and International) to be delayed or even canceled for a day or more due to the Arctic weather. The flights to Greenland are limited and do not take place every day. For these reasons, we strongly encourage you to take out travel insurance, as Strabo Tours cannot be held responsible for Airline changes or cancellations.

Tour Itinerary

Expand All
September 8: Home

It is likely you will need to depart home today on an overnight flight to Keflavik International Airport (KEF) outside Reykjavik, Iceland. (Meals on plane)

September 9: Arrive Keflavik, Iceland Airport

Flights typically land early in the morning to Keflavik Airport, and check-in is not until 2PM. We have blocked rooms at a hotel in Keflavik in order to obtain early check in at approximately 10AM. Everyone will need to take a 5-minute taxi ride to the hotel. Kathy will hold a brief introductory meeting this evening to prepare you for the coming days. OVERNIGHT KEFLAVIK ICELAND

September 10: Group flight Keflavik to Nuuk, Greenland

Depart the hotel this morning on a photographic tour of the Southwest of Iceland. Photograph the immense landscape, and hidden gems of this amazing country. The group will be returned to the airport at approximately 6PM, to be checked in for your tentative group flight to Greenland at 9PM. Upon arrival in Nuuk, there will be a transfer to your new home for the next 5 evenings. OVERNIGHT NUUK (B)

September 11-14: Nuuk Greenland

The day-by-day events can always change depending on weather, light, and the sea conditions. Your guides will take these factors into consideration as they plan the schedule for the next day.

11th: Your first morning in Nuuk is planned to start a bit later after breakfast, where you will have a day on foot. Kathy will notify you of the time to start, since you will be landing very late the evening before. There are locations for your walking tour of the architecture and scenes of Greenland, including the half mile long boardwalk along the sea. After additional photography you will return to the hotel for a group lunch, followed by time off to relax or work on your images. There will also be a photography talk either pre or post dinner, to discuss what to expect when aboard the boat, photographing the Northern Lights, and what to pack for the cruise outings, which start tomorrow. There will be a late evening excursion with transportation if there will be a chance for Northern Lights.

12th: The next day you begin your Ice fjord tour from 9AM to 3PM. You will photograph the immense landscape and may experience wildlife like whales, seals, birdlife, including white-tipped eagles. Since you will be at sea during lunch time you will want to purchase something to take with you the night before or early this morning.

This evening you will need time to pack an overnight bag with all your essentials (camera gear, medicines, all important documents, etc.). The rest of your luggage can remain in your Nuuk hotel room.

13th: The next morning you travel via the sea to your Glamping location. There will be plenty to photograph along the way, fjords, icebergs, landscape, and more. Arrive to your remote destination and get settled into your environs for the afternoon and evening. The terrain consists of a pathway to the tent site, and an ATV is available. There are uneven rocks all over the island, therefore if you wish obtain different vantage points, we suggest packing a collapsible walking stick. The destination is deep in the Nuuk fjord, with fantastic hiking opportunities, large tents with comfortable beds and a view you can enjoy. The place is completely out of internet range, so be prepared to be disconnected while enjoying nature and its silence. If you’d like, there will be an opportunity to get into a dry suit and go on a paddleboard or kayak in the fjord that often times has icebergs. The evening may be the best chance for Northern Lights as you will be far away from the city lights. There is a mess tent and bathroom tent close by.

14th: Return to Nuuk, arriving around 2PM. There will be additional photography in town. There is an excellent Greenland National Museum in town, and various other photo ops. Enjoy your farewell dinner this evening. OVERNIGHT 11, 12 & 14 NUUK HOTEL, GLAMPING 13TH (B, L; B; B, L, D; B, L, D) (don’t forget to pre-purchase your lunch for the 12th)

September 15: Group flight back to Keflavik, Iceland, overnight or connect home

There will be a transfer back to the Nuuk airport this morning. Where you will take your group return flight to Keflavik Iceland. Currently the Greenland flight arrives in Iceland at approximately 3:45 PM (Iceland time). We have included an overnight this evening at the Keflavik airport hotel. Should you not need to overnight this evening a refund will be provided. OVERNIGHT KEFLAVIK AIRPORT HOTEL. (B)

September 16: KEF - Home

Those that needed to overnight in Keflavik will walk back to the airport terminal and check-in for your flight home. Check out time is noon.
