Activity options vary depending on destination and operator. Activity level is determined by the range and intensity of activities you choose to participate in. Discuss with your Trip Planner which options are best for you.
Meet the Secret Atlas representative and fellow guests at the designated meeting point in Keflavik or Reykjavik Airport, Iceland. After passing through security, board the private charter flight to Nerlerit Inaat Airport (Constable Point), Greenland. From the airport, take a short hike to the shore and board Zodiac boats for transfer to the expedition ship.
Explore Scoresbysund by cruising through the steep-sided Ofjord and landing on the Bear Islands for panoramic views of the fjord system. Visit Sydkap to see Thule cultural remains and a hunters’ cabin, offering a striking vantage point over the surrounding icebergs.
Sail into Kong Oscar Fjord, entering Northeast Greenland National Park. Land at Antarctic Havn, hearing the stories of Erik the Red and the Norwegian governor who had his residence here in the 1930s, and hiking to an atmospheric cabin, half-submerged by an avalanche. Stop at Holm Bugt, with its sandy beach, trapper cabin, and Thule remains – you might even spot some lemmings! Segelsällskapet Fjord is a hugely geologically rich area, with alternating layers of dolomite and limestone jutting attractively out of the earth.
Continue the adventure in the wondrous Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord, taking in the island of Ymer Ø and the extraordinarily dramatic Teufelsschloss (Devil’s Castle) peak. Blomsterbugt (Flowers Bay in Danish) is an attractive spot to absorb the colours of the surrounding plainland, spot divers, and meet the local population of Arctic hares. But there’s a darker side to this bay the Norwegians called Vargbukta (or Wolf Bay). At the end of Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord, land on Kapp Ovibos, a sandy bay known for its wildflowers.
Head back to Scoresbysund via Storefjord, an abandoned Norwegian hunting, meteorological, and radio station, and Raffles Ø, a small uninhabited island.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
