About Greenland

Greenland is the world's largest island, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark rather than a country in its own right. Roughly 80% of its landmass is covered by the Greenland ice sheet, and its population — around 56,000, the large majority Inuit (Kalaallit) — is concentrated in small coastal towns and settlements with almost no roads connecting them to one another.

Voyzo's tours are based entirely in Ilulissat, on the west coast, gateway to the UNESCO-listed Ilulissat Icefjord, where giant icebergs calve from one of the fastest-moving glaciers outside Antarctica and drift out into Disko Bay right beside the town. Inuit traditions stay part of everyday life here — from the kaffemik coffee gathering to husky puppies raised for the winter dog-sled season — alongside 4,500-year-old archaeological sites like the Sermermiut Valley just outside town.

Because Greenland has almost no road network between settlements, reaching sights beyond Ilulissat itself — the calving Eqi glacier or the colonial-era Ilimanaq settlement — genuinely means traveling by private boat rather than by vehicle. Every Voyzo itinerary here discloses exactly how each leg is actually covered, so there's no surprise about what a private tour looks like in a place with this little infrastructure.

1 Ilulissat Icefjord Ilulissat Icefjord Greenland A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004, this ice fjord empties one of the fastest-moving glaciers outside Antarctica into Disko Bay, calving a steady procession of giant icebergs right beside the town of Ilulissat. 2 Eqi Glacier (Eqi Sermia) Eqi Glacier (Eqi Sermia) Greenland Known locally as 'the calving glacier,' Eqi Sermia sits about 80 kilometers north of Ilulissat and calves frequently enough that boat trips can experience both the sound and sight of huge chunks of ice breaking away into the sea. 3 Disko Bay Disko Bay Greenland The stretch of Arctic water off Ilulissat where icebergs calved from the Icefjord drift out to sea — a setting for evening boat cruises, whale watching, and, in summer, boat trips under the midnight sun. 4 Ilimanaq Settlement Ilimanaq Settlement Greenland A small colonial-era settlement just 7 kilometers from Ilulissat by boat, with well-preserved historic buildings and trout farms — reachable only by water, with no road connecting it to Ilulissat. 5 Sermermiut Valley Sermermiut Valley Greenland A hiking valley just outside Ilulissat with the remains of settlements dating back more than 4,500 years, set against views over the mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord. 6 Zion's Church, Ilulissat Zion's Church, Ilulissat Greenland A black wooden church built in 1779, the oldest and largest building in Ilulissat, standing above the town with views out over the icebergs drifting through Disko Bay. 7 Oqaatsut (Rodebay) Oqaatsut (Rodebay) Greenland A small fishing settlement of a few dozen residents a short boat ride north of Ilulissat, its wooden houses and drying racks of fish set against Disko Bay's icebergs. 8 Ilulissat's Sled Dogs Ilulissat's Sled Dogs Greenland Ilulissat is home to more Greenland sled dogs than people, kept chained on the outskirts of town and raised from puppies to pull sledges once the winter sea ice sets in.

Know Before You Go — Greenland

Best Time to Visit

June through August (summer) brings the most daylight, the mildest temperatures, and open water for boat trips to the Eqi Glacier and around Disko Bay. Winter brings extreme cold, very short days, and limited access.

Getting Around

Greenland has almost no road network connecting towns. Travel beyond Ilulissat itself genuinely means going by private boat, not by road — flights (often via Reykjavik or Copenhagen) are how most visitors reach Ilulissat in the first place.

Weather & What to Pack

Even summer days can be cool, often 5–10°C/41–50°F with wind off the ice, so warm, windproof layers are essential regardless of season, along with sturdy waterproof footwear for boat landings.

Money & Tipping

Greenland uses the Danish krone (DKK). Card payment is widely accepted in Ilulissat, though carrying some cash is useful for smaller vendors.

Local Tips

A kaffemik — an informal open-house coffee gathering — is a genuine piece of everyday Greenlandic social life, not a staged tourist event; guests are expected to be polite and appreciative rather than treat it as a performance.

Connectivity

Ilulissat is a small town with limited infrastructure by international standards — internet and mobile coverage exist but can be slower and less reliable than travelers are used to elsewhere.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Greenland

Voyzo's Ilulissat itineraries run 5 days, which is enough time for the Eqi Glacier boat trip, a Disko Bay evening cruise, and time in town and at the Sermermiut Valley, without feeling rushed.
Its icebergs and ice sheet — Ilulissat Icefjord alone produces some of the largest icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere — plus Inuit culture, husky sledding, and being one of the least-visited, least-developed places most travelers will ever go.
No — there's essentially no road network connecting settlements, so travel beyond a given town is by boat, plane, or in winter, snowmobile or dog sled.
Greenland is a self-governing territory of the Kingdom of Denmark with its own government, though defense and foreign affairs remain handled jointly with Denmark — it is not part of the EU.
By boat — Voyzo's Ilulissat itineraries include boat trips to the calving Eqi Glacier and evening cruises through the iceberg-filled waters of Disko Bay, which is the only way to get genuinely close to them.
Yes, generally — remoteness and limited infrastructure make food, flights, and accommodation more expensive than mainland Europe or North America, which is typical for Arctic destinations with this little road access.
