Ilulissat Summer Break

3 Day Tour, from £1329 per person

Spend two nights in Ilulissat and experience the midnight sun on this short break to West Greenland. Take either a boat trip or amazing helicopter trip to the UNESCO designated Ilulissat Ice Fjord, which is filled with gigantic icebergs produced by one of the most productive glaciers in the world. With ear-splitting roars they are constantly calving, making giant waves as they crash into the sea.
