Greenland is the wildest country in the northern hemisphere, infrastructures are almost non-existent and logistics pose enormous challenges.

That is the reason why your local guide MAY NOT follow this daily itinerary exactly as planned. All activities are subject to change in order to adapt the journey to the weather conditions, sea conditions, or technical and organizational difficulties, and it therefore requires flexibility in the traveller.

Some activities can be cancelled because of weather or ice conditions as locals say “The weather is Boss in Greenland”.

As a result, by signing up for this trip, the guest is aware that unexpected expenses as a result of weather conditions (including difficulties or cancellations due to ice or weather conditions) or flight or boat delays are not included in the price and may become the responsibility of the guest while traveling on the trip.
