This five-day tour will 100% change that. Trek and camp your way across this rugged land’s spectacular mountains, glaciers, and valleys, discovering the region’s storied culture and fascinating wildlife along the way. Reiserute Kulusuk/Apusiaajik island Arrive in the morning and meet the CEO at the airport, where we start the day off with a walk to the town of Kulusuk, to visit the key sites and learn about daily life. Later, catch a boat to Apusiaajik Island, enjoy the beautiful scenery on the hike to our first camp, where you'll help set up and settle in for the evening. This adventure includes 3 nights basic–participation camping in a tent. Dinner and breakfast will be prepared by the guide with the help of passengers in a mess tent. The mess tent is large enough that everyone can sit on a simple foldable camping stool. There will be a small table and a large cooking stove. The camp spot is remote and in the wilderness - there is no electricity or wifi/internet connection. Apusiaajik island Embark on a morning hike to Apusiaajik glacier for stunning views and observations on the effects climate change has had on Greenland's glaciers. Continue on to hike in Apusiaajiip Ilinnera Valley, following rivers and hills and admiring the delicate arctic wildflowers. Apusiaajik Island is part of the Ammassalik archipelago on the southeastern shore of Greenland. The island is mountainous, with the highest peak being Qivtaatit at 855 m (2,805.1 ft). We will be hiking in the central area which is glaciated, with many chances to enjoy the active Apusiaajik Glacier which flows down to Torsuut Tunoq sound. Participants will need to cross rivers every day on the trip. The water level in the rivers changes due to seasonal conditions. In some cases we will be able to step from stone to stone to get to the other side. In other cases we will need to take our shoes and socks off, put on river crossing shoes and wade the rivers. Your guide will provide you with advice on river crossing and bringing your own Trekking poles might come in handy when wading rivers. Apusiaajik island/Niiniartivaraq Area Catch a boat to the mainland, cruising through the Ikaasatisivaq strait and into a small ord at the foot of the Niiniartivaraq mountains. After setting up camp, walk into a small Valley and climb a hill at the foot of the mountains for stunning views. On the way back to camp, try to catch a trout or two for dinner. You must be fit and able to hike every day of this trip. There is no option to opt out of hiking or excursions as for safety reasons, passengers are not able to remain behind on their own at camp. Niiniartivaraq Area/Kulusuk This morning, hike up to a 400m ridge separating our camp from the Sermilik ice ord. Take in the sweeping views across the main ice cap of Greenland, keeping an eye out for icebergs. Continue along the ridge to the small hunting village of Tiniteqilaq where we catch a boat back to Kulusuk. This evening, enjoy a traditional Greenlandic drum dance circle. You must be fit and able to hike every day of this trip. There is no option to opt out of hiking or excursions as for safety reasons, passengers are not able to remain behind on their own at camp.

Group Leader Description The group will be led by a CEO (Chief Experience Officer) who is trained hiking and wilderness guide. Group Size Notes Min 15, average 12. Meals Included 4 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 4 dinners Meals Breakfast. In the mornings we make a porridge, the Nordic breakfast classic, which is filling and provides long-lasting energy. We also bring some bread, butter and jam and of course, tea and coffee. Lunch: In the morning, the group makes their lunch-packs: bread, spreads, hams and cheeses. And nobody should go on a trek without biscuits. If you think you need more on your trip, it’s great to bring some extra energy bars or your favourite dry fruit/trail mix to keep in your day pack. Dinner; The evening meal is a combination of dry-freezed food some days, and simple cooking over the camp stove. While the guide prepares dinner at the end of the day (your help with chopping and preparing is appreciated). Each meal is three courses, starter, main and desert. We try to make the menu diverse and keep a good balance. To give you an idea, you could have soup to start with, then cous- cous and sausage, and a piece of cake for desert. If our roads cross with a fisherman, we try to get some fresh fish to add to our meal. Because we strive to get as much as we can locally and that we are in the Arctic where meat and fish is the stable diet (and for a good reason), we encourage you to go with the flow, unless you have special dietary requirements.
