INFORMATION<br />
Paddle in a kayak and witness up close the overwhelming<br />
beauty of icebergs of the Iulissat’s Icefjords.<br />
Kayaking in Ilulissat is a unique activity for two reasons. The<br />
first one is very obvious, kayaking is possibly the best way<br />
to experience the Ilulissat Icefjord (UNESCO World Heritage<br />
Site). Being at the sea level, without any sound and just<br />
using your own body to sail among icebergs, makes it very<br />
special.<br />
The duration of our activities<br />
includes the time to gear-up /<br />
dress-up, safety briefings and<br />
transfers to departure points.<br />
The time spent in the water<br />
paddling is 2 hours.<br />
The second one, perhaps not that known among people<br />
visiting us, is that 4,000 years ago, people already used<br />
“qajaat” (traditional kayaks) for travelling and hunting in<br />
<strong>Greenland</strong> and most of the Inuit region.<br />
Thanks to our experienced and certified kayaking guides,<br />
modern expedition equipment and safety protocols, we<br />
make it possible for you to kayak among icebergs, even if<br />
you have never been kayaking before. Besides, they will<br />
introduce you to the fascinating world of the original kayak<br />
“qajaq”, invented in <strong>Greenland</strong> and made out of drifting<br />
wood and animal skin.<br />
