The longest tradition
When you step into a kayak and push off from the shore you literally paddle in a piece of living history. Kayaks came from the Arctic, and they continue to be a vital symbol of human habitation and migration throughout the Polar regions.
Kayaking in Destination Arctic Circle puts you right next to the elements of water, ice, and it brings the sea animals to front row. You can paddle the long fiords, weave your way through the coastal islands, or visit the might Eternity Fiord and its hangling glaciers and impressive bird colonies.
But wherever you go you’re likely to encounter flocks of birds, humpbback whales at play, and seals popping up their heads.

Kayak rentals at North Safari
We run a shop in downtown Kangerlussuaq, right by the airport where we rent out kayaks and provide a shuttle service to take you to one of the large lakes or down to the fiord.
Kayaking is one of the oldest means of offshore transportation in the Arctic, and with fiords and islands dotting the coastline of our region we’d be understating the case if we said that you had a lot paddling to do to see it all. The Kangerlussuaq area has great combos of kayaking and hiking with local guides, and on the fiord you get all the best of Greenlandic kayaking complete with sheltered camps, lots of cultural history, and hikes into the backcountry. For the more independent and trained kayakers we recommend the otherworldly scenery in the Eternity Fiord close to Kangaamiut before working your way through the Hamborg Sound and down the sheltered waterways towards Maniitsoq. Trips like these are remote multi-day adventures but you’re never alone out there. In Kangerlussuaq reindeer and musk oxen greet you in the hills while whales and seals will pop up for a quick hello on the coastal paddles.
