Day 1: Arrive at Reykjavík Airport | Fly to Constable Point | Embark

Meet other guests and a Secret Atlas representative at the designated meeting point in Keflavík Airport or Reykjavík Airport, Iceland. After passing through security, board a charter flight to Nerlerit Inaat Airport (Constable Point) in Greenland. From the airport, take a short walk to the shoreline, then board Zodiac boats for transfer to the expedition ship.

Day 2-3: Viking Bay | Danmark Island

Take a Zodiac cruise in Viking Bay to view bird cliffs and basalt columns. Hike on Danmark Island in the fjord, with a chance to see divers, musk oxen, and remains from the Thule culture.

Day 4-6: Hare Fjord | Bear Islands | Sydkap

Sail into Hare Fjord, which likely gained its name from the Arctic hares that preside here. Tour steep-sided Ofjord and land on the Bear Islands for panoramic views of this scenic stretch of Scoresbysund. Land on Sydkap to discover Thule remains and a hunters’ cabin, gaining a dramatic view of the surrounding icebergs on the border of the Northeast Greenland National Park.

Day 7: Ittoqqortoormiit

Sail to Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the remotest towns on the planet, with an idiosyncratic culture and way of life.

Day 8: Iceland

On the final day, you take a charter flight back to Iceland, where you enjoy a relaxing evening and overnight stay at your comfortable hotel — a chance to unwind and reflect on your unforgettable journey through Greenland.

Day 9: Reykjavík, Iceland | Disembark

  • 1 Breakfast
For those continuing, there’s the opportunity to join an adventure with Hyperborea, your trusted local tour operator partner in Iceland — perhaps exploring Reykjavík’s culture, soaking in the Blue Lagoon, or discovering the country’s waterfalls, glaciers, and volcanic landscapes on a scenic day tour. A perfect finale to your Arctic journey.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
