Tour Overview
Our tour to Nuuk, Greenland sold out in 2022 and Ron is excited to return next year with a group of like-minded fellow photographers who want to be at the right place at the right time. Ron took groups to Eastern Greenland for years but finds the accommodations in the West much more comfortable with ensuite hotel rooms, choice of restaurants to walk to, and boat excursions in heated cabin with bathroom on board.

Our tour to Nuuk, Greenland sold out in 2022 and Ron is excited to return next year with a group of like-minded fellow photographers who want to be at the right place at the right time. Ron took groups to Eastern Greenland for years but finds the accommodations in the West much more comfortable with ensuite hotel rooms, choice of restaurants to walk to, and boat excursions in heated cabin with bathroom on board.
The 2023 tour will 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. To get the most out of the experience and your photography you should be able to hike over rough terrain in order to traverse the immense rocks in the area. Anyone who is reasonably fit and able to handle their own gear will enjoy this once in a lifetime experience. Walking sticks are always recommended on uneven terrain.
What to Expect
Enjoy six evenings in Nuuk with three boat tours during your stay. Weather permitting, there will be two chances to photograph the Northern Lights, one from your Glamping overnight stay and the other in Nuuk (see Ron’s cover photo). All participants need to be able to get in and out of boats with their camera gear in hand (easily accessible via docks) and go out on various easy-to-moderate walks during your stay (walking sticks recommended). The group flight to Greenland departs from Keflavik, Iceland. Therefore, we have included Iceland hotel rooms for the first evening, and for your last evening, after the Greenland portion of the tour.
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. You may wish to purchase groceries in Greenland in order to pack snacks & lunch for one of the boat excursions.
The other thing to be aware of is that 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.
