East Greenland Dog Sledding Expedition

Arrive Reykjavik and transfer by bus to the Blue Lagoon. Spend time in this incredible geothermal spa located in the middle of a lava field. Transfer to the hotel and check in for 1 night.

Make your way to Reykjavik's domestic airport (about 10 minutes by taxi from the city centre) for your flight to Kulusuk where you will transfer to Tasiilaq by helicopter (subject to weather conditions this may be done by boat). The island of Ammassalik is in the remote eastern corner of Greenland and is home to just 2,000 people. You will be met and taken to your guesthouse and after settling in enjoy dinner and discuss the plances for the trip with your guide. If the conditions are right you can step outside with the hope of seeing the northern lights. (B,D)

Meet your dog team after breakfast and head out to King Oscar's Fjord via Qordlortoq lake. Head through the mountain valleys, climbing up to 500 metres. Enjoy views of the Sermilik Ice Fjord before descending and expending the night on the shores of the fjord itself. Whilst the accommodation may be basic you will hear nothing but the creaking ice and the voice of your fellow travelleros. (B,L,D)

Have time free today to explore your local surroundings, or simply relax and take in the majestic beauty of your location. You can sit and watch the icebergs float past whilst being blanketed by the silence of a true wilderness. If you are feeling energetic you could head out of snow shoes and, weather permitting, head out in the evening to see the aurora borealis, one of the best places on earth to see this celestial phenonmenon. (B,L,D)

Head to the settlement of Tiniteqilaq, ascending and descending the steep fells and crossing the Tinit glacier. Stop regularly throughout the day for refreshments and to take photographs of the landscape. Depending on the weather you may have the chance on arrival in the settlement to head out by boat in the fjord before dinner with a local family. (B,L,D)

Today is the toughest day of the trip as you need to get off the sleigh and help the dogs up the steep hills but the hard work will be worth it when you see the landscape of glaciers, mountains and valleys laid out before you. The overnight stop is at a hut near the Imiilaa Fjord, where the locals go hunting and fishing for seal and fish. (B,L,D)

Today travel up a 700m glacier and then down to Langes. En route enjoy the icy landscape of Ammassalik and a great view of the icepack and Tasiilaq. On arrival in Tasiilaq transfer by car to a local house. The rest of the day is free to relax. (B,L,D)

Today is free to enjoy the delights of Tasiilaq - perhaps visit the local museum, have a hot stone massage or simply relax.

Take the helicopter back to Kulusuk for flight to Iceland. On arrival transfer from Reykjavik City Airport to your hotel and check in for 2 nights.
