What type of accommodation is available?

Range from expedition-style lodges to boutique hotels in Ilulissat. Not luxury in the traditional sense. Greenland's appeal is raw wilderness. TJD selects the best available properties and supplements with expedition comfort.

When is the best time to visit Greenland?

June–September for midnight sun, icebergs, whale watching, hiking. March–April for dog sledding, Northern Lights, frozen landscapes. Ilulissat Icefjord is most dramatic June–August.

What can you see at the Ilulissat Icefjord?

A UNESCO World Heritage site where Greenland's most active glacier calves icebergs the size of city blocks. Boat tours navigate between towering icebergs. TJD arranges private zodiac expeditions for intimate access.

How much does a Greenland expedition cost?

7–12 day TJD expeditions range €12,000–€25,000 per person due to complex logistics, limited infrastructure, and charter flights between destinations.

Is Greenland suitable for families?

Best for families with older children (12+) due to expedition-style travel. Active families who enjoy hiking, kayaking, and wildlife encounters will find it extraordinary.

Greenland

From towering icebergs to colorful coastal settlements, Greenland is the world's largest island, barely touched and truly remote. Our journeys are designed with on-ground expertise and authentic experiences across Greenland.

Why Greenland

The Arctic at Its Most Dramatic

Greenland is one of the world's last great wilderness destinations. Vast fjords, drifting icebergs, and small coastal settlements define this remote Arctic landscape. With no roads between towns, travel in Greenland happens by boat or helicopter creating a true expedition-style experience.

Our Greenland journeys are designed for travelers looking to explore beyond the usual routes, with carefully planned itineraries that focus on nature, remote communities, and the scale of the Arctic.

Where You'll Stay

Stays You Can Choose From

Every TJD journey in Greenland is built around a handful of trusted stays — each one personally selected, each one a different way to experience the place.

Category 1 of 2

Boutique Hotel

Greenland's finest small hotels — warm, welcoming bases in towns like Ilulissat and Tasiilaq. Modern comforts in a place that still feels frontier. Locally sourced meals, views of icebergs drifting past, and the kind of hospitality that only comes from people who live at the edge of the world.

Category 2 of 2

Remote Wilderness Lodge

An exclusive lodge set among glaciers and tundra, far from any settlement. Designed for immersion — you're here for the silence, the ice, and the raw Arctic landscape. Comfortable, off-grid, and one of the most remote places you can sleep on Earth.

Hiking

The zodiac cuts its engine. You drift in silence between icebergs that glow blue in the midnight sun. A humpback whale surfaces fifty metres away, exhales, and dives. The sound carries across the still water for what feels like forever.
