Day 2: Igloo Lodge – Snowmobiles, Icebergs, and a Night in a Snow Igloo

After breakfast at Hotel Arctic, your Arctic adventure begins. You’ll be picked up and transported by snowcat deep into the snowy wilderness. Nestled in the silence of the landscape lies Igloo Lodge – a cozy retreat surrounded by ice and mountains. You’ll be welcomed in the warm log cabin, where lunch is served with views of the frozen landscape. 

In the afternoon, one of the trip’s highlights awaits: Walking amongst giants – a guided snowmobile tour to a frozen side fjord, where you’ll continue on foot, literally walking among towering icebergs locked in place by the ice. It’s a breathtaking experience that blends speed, silence, and raw natural beauty. 

The evening includes dinner in the lodge, followed by storytelling around the table. If the skies are clear, you may head out for a northern lights hunt. You’ll spend the night in a real snow igloo – a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Day 3: Return to Ilulissat – Dog Sledding, Ice Fjord Cruise, and Relaxation

After a peaceful morning and breakfast in the lodge, you’ll embark on a classic Greenlandic experience: a dog sled ride through the snowy landscape. As you glide behind a team of eager sled dogs, you’ll feel the wind on your face and hear only the rhythmic sound of paws and sled runners – a timeless journey through tradition and nature. 

Later in the day, you’ll return to Ilulissat and check back into Hotel Arctic. In the afternoon, you can join an unforgettable ice fjord cruise – a guided boat trip among the towering icebergs of Ilulissat Icefjord, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sail through sculpted ice formations bathed in the blue light of winter. 

The rest of the day is yours to enjoy. After so many experiences, perhaps a quiet moment at the hotel with a warm drink is just what you need.
