Day 1: Discovery of the town of Ilulissat

Steps: Ilulissat

After breakfast, transfer to Reykjavik domestic airport. Flight to Ilulissat. Guided tour of the "capital of icebergs", possibly accompanied by a local guide, to discover the old town, the old Danish colonial houses, the port and the church of Sion erected in 1779. Why not take the opportunity to visit the house of the great explorer and ethnologist Knud Rasmussen (1879-1933). At the end of the afternoon, try to sign up for a kaffemik to meet Greenlanders over a cup of coffee with a cake or a Greenlandic speciality. Ideally end the day, during the summer, with a midnight cruise in the middle of icebergs.

Breakfast at the hotel. Free day with optional activities according to budget but also weather: fly over the Inlandsis by helicopter (striking), go to a kayak in the middle of the icebergs at the risk of being disturbed by the whale's breath (possible to do so evenly evenings evenings also during summer), hike in the winter dog or simply hike by the fjord in order to observe on a bench the majestic iceberg scroll... To discover Greenlandic gastronomy, test the incredible Greenlandic Buffet at Hotel Icefjord: a range of different specialties depending on the arrival (bear, whale, seal, halibut, cod, shellfish, Saint-Jacques...). The barbecue on the terrace of the Hotel Artic is also worth a visit, known for its muskox or reindeer barns.
