Paddling and hiking expedition in East Greenland

Our group of adventurers will hike and paddle on Greenland’s remote Eastern coast, where few Westerners have ever been.

16 days  ~  from/to Ammassalik, East Greenland

We begin at the western edge of Tassilaq Island and work our way east through an archipelago, finishing the journey near the tiny hamlet of Sermiligaq. The total paddling distance will be 80-100 nautical miles, depending on weather and sea conditions.

Highlights

Without exception, all of our co-explorers have been amazed by the pristine natural world at the Sermiliq/Tassilaq Fjord complex in Eastern Greenland. The Greenland ground blueberries, mushrooms, and arctic flowers are plentiful. During the journey, discover old Eskimo ruins, and visit local Inuit Communities. Delight in the wild patterns the sun makes in the 24 hour lit sky.


What's involved?

This sea kayaking and trekking adventure will be challenging, and an expeditionary spirit and a flexible attitude are required as well as previous kayaking experience. There is truly no better way to discover this region and it’s wealth of culture than with our friends at Explorer's Corner.
