As mentioned, Ilulissat is the Greenlandic word for icebergs.

The ice is stunning; you can experience it from water, land, and air. Hike to the former Sermermiut settlement at the Icefjord. The beautiful icebergs of the Ilulissat Icefjord form the backdrop for the ancient settlement of Sermermiut, one and a half kilometers south of the town.

You'll hear the story of Greenlanders' life and customs before the arrival of Europeans, see ruins and old kitchen middens, and feel the permafrost with your hands.

These giants are stranded at the mouth of the Icefjord, and here you can sail among them. Bring warm clothes for the trip or rent a sealskin suit because even in summer, it's cold out here on the water between the icebergs. Overnight Hotel Arctic, Ilulissat.

Today, you go on a Whale Safari. It is a great experience to get close to large animals like whales. There are 15 species of whale in Greenland. During the summer it is normally the humpback, the common minke whale and the fin whale, you see. The whales swim the entire Disko Bay during the summer; sometimes close to the town, sometimes in the ice fjord or up north by the island, Arveprinsens Ejland. You are in constant radio contact with the fishermen and the hunters about the whales and their whereabouts. The humpback, with its characteristic fin, is the one you'll see most often. Today you also can try kayaking in the country that invented the kayaks. Kayak Experience in Ilulissat (optional). Inuit have kayaked in Greenland waters for more than a thousand years, and you can do it too. As the kayak glides silently through the water, you see the huge icebergs rising around you. The midnight sun gives the ice a unique hue. In cloudy weather, the beautiful blue colors of the icebergs will be very clear. With a little luck, you may even meet whales. All tours take place in stable double kayaks, and a boat follows close by. The excursion takes about 3 1/2 - 4 hours, and you will be at sea for at least two of those hours.
