OVERVIEW

Be awed by the wild majestic scenery while cruising the sheltered waters around Paamiut in a boat with a comfortable closed cabin. As you glide along the rugged coastal terrain, you can observe the raw wilderness from out on deck or inside the cabin.Founded in 1742 as a key navigation landmark, Paamiut marks the gateway to the fjord, which has changed little, if at all, over the centuries. It is still a spectacularly rugged landscape of island and jagged mountains, where nature reigns supreme. The captain will stop the boat for better viewing if you catch sight of humpback whales, orcas, harbor seals or any other wildlife of note. Be sure to scan the skies for seabirds such as kittiwakes, fulmars and Brünnich’s guillemots, which are large black-and-white auks that breed on the fjord’s rocky cliffs.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Cruise through the fjord that Paamiut faces in 10-passenger boat with a closed cabin.
• Watch for various species of whales, including humpbacks, minkes and orcas.
• Keep an eye out for seabirds, which are plentiful.


HELPFUL HINTS

• Dress in weather-appropriate layered clothing.
• Wear flat comfortable walking shoes.

Need to Know:

Note: Guests should consider few steps to access the boat. Greenland’s weather can be unpredictable, so layering your clothing will help you adapt to changing conditions throughout the day. Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed.
