We sincerely thank all our partners for being part of this journey and for helping to build a strong and sustainable future for Greenland.

Unique and Immersive Experiences

✔️ Unmatched Boat Excursions – The Ultimate Greenlandic Experience
While cruise guests are already traveling by sea, our small-boat adventures offer an entirely different and truly immersive experience. In our top-modern 12-passenger boats, guests can venture into pristine fjords, visit an abandoned settlement, or explore a UNESCO World Heritage area, gaining a level of intimacy with the Greenlandic wilderness that is simply not possible from a large cruise ship. These authentic, small-scale expeditions allow for close-up encounters with icebergs, wildlife, and hidden Arctic gems.

✔️ Diverse Adventure Options – From dog sledding and snowmobiling to guided hikes, ATV expeditions, and cozy dining experiences in our private mountain lodges, we provide a wide selection of tours tailored to different adventure levels.

✔️ A Window into Tradition – Visitors can step inside our beautifully restored “Grandmother’s House”, where they get a unique insight into Greenlandic home life and traditions.

✔️ Tailored Special Arrangements – We customize exclusive experiences based on the unique identity and preferences of individual expedition cruise ships, ensuring a one-of-a-kind adventure for each voyage.

✔️ Guaranteed Quality & Safety – As the second Greenlandic company to receive an official government tourism license, we adhere to the highest industry standards.

At Backcountry Greenland, we are passionate about delivering unforgettable experiences that connect visitors with Greenland’s stunning nature and rich Inuit culture. Whether exploring the Arctic wilderness, tasting local cuisine, or immersing in Sisimiut’s unique blend of tradition and modern life, we craft exceptional adventures for all types of travelers.
