Let's answer all your questions!
Everything you need to know for your fly fishing adventure in Greenland – from gear tips to what you can expect to catch. If you can’t find your answer here, feel free to reach out to us anytime!
What makes visiting Nuuk in winter special?
Winter in Nuuk is a time of pure Arctic magic. The fjords are covered in white, the mountains are covered in snow, and the crisp, cold air makes the scenery feel even more dramatic. The northern lights dance across the sky on dark, clear nights, and the long winter shadows create a surreal atmosphere. Whether you’re sailing through icy waters, relaxing in an Arctic sauna, or experiencing traditional Greenlandic culture, winter offers a more peaceful and immersive experience than any other season.
Will I see the northern lights buying the Winter Travel Package?
While we can’t guarantee sightings, winter in Nuuk offers excellent chances to see the northern lights. From September to April, the Arctic sky often lights up with dancing auroras, and we plan our northern lights excursions on the clearest nights for the best viewing opportunities. If conditions aren’t ideal one evening, we remain flexible and will adjust to improve your chances of witnessing this natural phenomenon.
How cold does it get in Nuuk during winter, and how do you stay warm on the tours?
Winter temperatures in Nuuk typically range from -5°C to -15°C, though the wind can make it feel colder. To stay warm, we recommend dressing in layers, wearing insulated boots, and using hand and foot warmers. Our boats have heated cabins, and warm drinks are provided on excursions, so you’ll always have a place to warm up when needed.
Are all activities and excursions included in the price of the Winter Travel Package?
Yes, all activities mentioned in the itinerary are included in the winter package. This covers fjord cruises, northern lights chases, cultural experiences, skiing access, and guided excursions. The only additional expenses are flights to and from Nuuk and dining at cafés and restaurants, except for meals that are part of scheduled activities, like lunch on longer expeditions.
What kind of wildlife might I see during the winter excursions?
Even in winter, Greenland’s wildlife is active, especially along the fjords. White-tailed eagles can often be seen gliding between the cliffs, scanning for fish in the icy waters. Seals sometimes surface briefly to take a breath before diving back under the ice. The fjords are also home to a variety of seabirds, including eider ducks, guillemots, and gulls, which thrive in these cold waters.
If you’re interested in fishing, winter offers a unique opportunity to catch species like cod and redfish, which remain active beneath the ice. Whether watching wildlife from the boat or trying your hand at fishing, the Arctic’s winter ecosystem is full of surprises.
What is the accommodation like during the Winter Travel Package trip?
You’ll stay in a Hotel HHE in Nuuk, where you can relax after days of Arctic adventure. The accommodations are carefully selected to offer warmth, coziness, and convenience, ensuring you have a good night’s rest before the next day’s activities. Each morning starts with a hearty breakfast, and every evening, you’ll return to a welcoming space to unwind, reflect on the day, and prepare for the next adventure.
What should I pack for the Winter Travel Package?
Dressing properly for Arctic winter conditions is key to staying comfortable. We recommend:
- A high-quality insulated jacket
- Warm, layered clothing (wool or fleece works best)
- Insulated windproof pants
- Insulated gloves, a hat, and a scarf
- Thermal socks and sturdy winter boots
- Hand and foot warmers for extra comfort
- Sunglasses, as the winter sun and snow can be bright
Our boat and vehicles are heated, but when out in the elements, having the right gear makes all the difference.
Is the Winter Travel Package suitable for all fitness levels?
Yes, this package is designed to accommodate a wide range of fitness levels. Most activities, such as the fjord cruises and cultural experiences, require minimal physical effort. The hiking and skiing options are optional, and you can choose how much or how little you want to participate. Our guides ensure a comfortable pace for all activities, making this adventure accessible to most travelers.
Do I need prior experience for activities like skiing?
No experience is needed. If you’re keen on skiing, rental gear is available, and you can take it at your own pace. For those who prefer not to ski, there are other ways to enjoy the winter landscape, such as taking in the snowy scenery or warming up with a hot drink at the ski café. This trip is designed to be flexible, so you can choose the level of adventure that suits you best.
Will I have free time to explore Nuuk on my own?
Yes, while this winter package includes a full itinerary of guided activities, there are moments of free time, particularly in the evenings. Whether you want to explore Nuuk’s cafés, browse local shops, or take a quiet walk along the waterfront, you’ll have opportunities to experience the city at your own pace.
