Greenland Trips
Guided Greenland adventures, from trekking the East Greenland Icefjords to dog sledding past Inuit communities.
Greenland is one of the last great wildernesses: the worldâs largest island, almost entirely covered by ice cap, with a handful of communities along its coasts and no roads between them. Adventures here mean trekking the fjords of the east in summer, travelling by dog sled across the spring sea ice, or sailing the Arctic coast by small ship. It is remote, demanding and unlike anywhere else.

Where to go in Greenland
10Adventuresâ trips focus on two parts of Greenland. East Greenland is the base for the land adventures, around the Sermilik Coast and its ice-filled fjords, where small Inuit communities sit among some of the most remote country on earth. The expedition cruises work the west coast and the wider Arctic, sailing past the Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for the icebergs that calve from it, and on into the Canadian Arctic, often through the gateway towns of Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq.
What to do in Greenland
The trips split into a few kinds of adventure. In summer you can trek the fjords and mountains of East Greenland, walking hut to hut or camping, which connects with 10Adventuresâ hiking tours. In spring, the dog-sledding journey crosses the frozen sea ice between communities, in the company of the wider snow tours. By sea, small-ship expeditions cruise the Arctic with Zodiac landings, shore hikes and wildlife watching, from whales and seabirds to the occasional polar bear, alongside the wildlife tours collection. Several trips pair Greenland with Iceland or the Canadian Arctic.
When to go to Greenland
The season here runs from spring to autumn. The dog-sledding trip goes in March and April, while the sea ice is still firm. The trekking and most of the expedition cruises run through the summer, roughly July to September, with long Arctic daylight and fjords full of ice. The later cruises, into September, are timed to catch the first northern lights as the nights return.
What to expect on a Greenland trip
These are remote adventures that rely on local expertise. Greenland has no roads between its towns, so you travel by boat, plane, helicopter, dog sled or ship, and conditions demand operators who know the country. Land trips stay in mountain huts, tents or small guesthouses in Inuit settlements, while the expedition cruises are small-ship, with cabins and Zodiac landings. Expect changeable Arctic weather, limited connectivity and itineraries that flex around the ice. For travellers drawn to the polar regions, the same expedition style runs to the far south on 10Adventuresâ Guided Antarctica tours.
