Itinerary
Fly to Reykjavik and pick up to the hotel by special car.
Take a flight to the east coast of Greenland, board a sailboat, and head to the Inuit village in the fjord, where about 420 aborigines live and make a living hunting narwhals, polar bears and Arctic musk ox. Traditional wooden houses are dotted on coastal reefs, looking out over the Arctic Ocean coastline.
Cross the Fjord Glacier Region, admire magnificent icebergs along the way, and eventually head to the Inuit settlement where you land for a trekking adventure.
Sail along the fjord coast and admire the majestic basalt mountains, including 2000 m high granite stone walls. Stop at the beach made of red sandstone halfway, and then continue to sail through the sea where giant glaciers and ice floes gather.
Day 5 Land Walking Exploration

Sail through the most amazing sea area of this trip, with cliffs and mountains on both sides and 2,000-meter-high granite walls. There is no trace around, which makes people feel awe of nature.
