Greenland is a fascinating holiday destination, with countless areas of astonishing natural beauty, ranging from icy seas and coastlines, the famous fjords and rugged mountains where travellers can spot everything from whales, polar bears and walruses to sea eagles and arctic foxes.

The world’s biggest island is equally charming in the winter, when the Northern Lights dance across the sky, as in the summer, when the expanses of open space are ideal for hiking, boat trips, and panoramic views from the top of the peaks.

This guide, compiled by the Baltic Travel Company, highlights some of the excursions and experiences to prioritise when you travel to Greenland, including those for romantic couples’ holidays and activities that are perfect for children and families.

Must-See Sights for Greenland Summer Holidays

While many people assume that Greenland is a winter destination, it’s also a superb choice for a summer holiday a little less ordinary – particularly if you’re looking for a trip that is the opposite of overcrowded beaches and long queues to see the local landmarks.

Southern Greenland has the warmest, mildest summer weather. The lush green valleys are a world away and offer a great opportunity to switch off your phone and indulge in nature. With an abundance of Viking heritage, the landscape is untouched, with small communities and farms making this an amazing place for outdoor activities in the fresh air.

Some of the most popular adventure sports are widely available in the summer, between May and September, when the days are longer, and you’ll see plenty of warming sunshine.

Try kayaking, hiking, cycling, or even climbing the nearest rock faces, and you’ll see captivating views that don’t exist everywhere else. A boat trip from Nuuk, Ilulissat, or Qaqortoq is a brilliant way to traverse the fjords, keeping your eyes peeled for dolphins, humpback whales, and native sea birds.

We’d also recommend an overnight hiking trip for sporty travellers. There are some wonderful trails around the peaceful town of Narsarsuaq, where you can spend the night under the stars. If your idea of a relaxing break is a little less strenuous, you can also try a glamping experience at a wilderness camp, with all the amenities and touches of luxury thrown in.

Greenland Activities and Cultural Experiences for Couples

Few places in the world are as romantic as Greenland, where the vast spaces and scenery encourage visitors to take a step back and soak everything in. A tour around Qasigiannguit, a fjord to the south of Disko Bay, is an excellent excursion – the fjord is fondly referred to as the capital of whales. Spending your day exploring the fjord and looking out for pods of whales is an incredible experience and one you won’t forget!
