Sea Kayaking in the Arctic

Imagine paddling through an intricate maze of sea ice, through picture-perfect fjords forged by ancient glaciers, under dramatic bird cliffs and searching for the mighty walrus and elusive polar bear – from a distance!

Active

There's nothing quite like paddling along the shores of Greenland, passing by quaint fishing villages in a sea kayak.

As the birthplace of the kayak, Greenland offers a special experience for Arctic guests. Depending on schedules and availability, guests might enjoy a traditional kayaking demonstration in Sisimiut on the Davis Strait.

You will be provided with all the necessary equipment and training for a paddling excursion in the Arctic Ocean, offering stunning views of the landscape and local wildlife from your unique vantage point just above the clear waters.

Grant Greenham

South & Central America Specialist

Seeking out the best travel experiences has led me to pitching a tent on the side of a 6,000m volcano awaiting a sunrise summit attempt, to relaxing in the finest lodges and hotels. For over 20 years I have kept returning to Latin America. Memorable highlights include witnessing a jaguar mother teach her cubs how to hunt in the Pantanal; travelling overland through Argentina’s remote Puna desert region; and swimming with playful sea lions in the Galapagos Islands. I have also spent the last decade travelling on expedition ships to Antarctica, Greenland and Svalbard. These close-up encounters with polar bear, walrus and the vast penguin colonies should be on everybody's bucket list!
