Giants from the deep
Whales whales whales. We love these sea creatures that grace our shores and provide you with the opportunity to get up close with creatures like the playful humpback whale and the deft little minke whale.
Whales are tied to the very fabric of everyday life around the Arctic Circle, and in all our coastal communities they play a part in the history of the place and the people.
And when you join a small passenger vessel on a whale safari you essentially go on a riveting minicruise in the archipelagoes that link the fiords with the open sea of the Davis Strait.
Whale safaris are a Summer activity only as the animals go elsewhere during the Arctic Winter.

Whale Safari with Maniitsoq Tour Boat
Whale safaris are a great way to spend time at sea, and on this 3 hour trip we’ll let the whales, you, and your cameras decide where we go as there is no destination other than the whales. And the whales. And the whales.

Assaqutaq minicruise and humpback whales
On this minicruise we go out to Assaqutaq, beautifully situated on the south side foot of the Nasaasaaq Peak, a mere 20 minutes from Sisimiut by boat. On the way we look for humpback whales in the Amerloq fiord mouth.
Maniitsoq is the whale capital of Greenland’s West Coast and especially the humpback whale is a frequent visitor to these shores, just as it is in nearby Kangaamiut. Actually, we would suggest combining the two destinations for a full day sea adventure with minicruising, whale watching, and bird colony visits. And if that’s not enough head over to the whale watching platform in Maniitsoq for extended whale info and a chance to see both minke, fin, and humpback whales. Further north the short and fiery Sisimiut Summer offers midnight sun, and watching whales bask in the cool waters just off the coast is a reminder of how many great experiences this planet keeps treating us to. <!–:da–>testing testing testing testing<!–:–>
