Sail through the sheltered waters of the fjord bordering Paamiut and experience the dramatic beauty of Greenland's coastal landscapes, viewing the fjord and occasional waterfall(s) from a boat. As you glide along steep fjord walls and expansive Arctic seascapes, your local skipper offers insights about the surrounding landscape and life in Greenland, and may also share stories about local traditions, history, and everyday experiences on the water.
Formerly known as Frederikshåb, Paamiut was established in 1742 as a navigation landmark at the mouth of Kvanefjord. The surrounding scenery — shaped by ice, sea, and time — has remained largely unchanged for centuries, offering a serene and immersive journey through Greenland's natural environment.
Notes:
Wildlife sightings are likely but not guaranteed. Both open and closed boats are used for this tour. Guests on some of the open boats will be provided with flotation suits to stay warm on the tour. Suits are available in sizes S - 3XL. Wear sturdy, non-skid walking shoes. Dress warmly in layers with a windproof and waterproof outer layer; bring a warm hat, gloves and a scarf. Limited tourism infrastructure is part of the charm here, and you are trading breadth of experience for authentic interaction. Please bring your spirit of adventure and bear with any language difficulties your guide may encounter and with any operational surprises that may crop up. Minimum age is 16 years. Restrooms are not available on tour.
