Adventure tours into the vast wilderness of Greenland.

Greenland is a place of incomparable natural beauty. With so many rare natural features, including towering icebergs, colossal glaciers, and expansive tundra as far as the eye can see, it’s impossible to resist the desire to explore.

That’s where we come in. We’re a company specializing in tours and charters to help you explore this wonderful arctic landscape up close. Photography tours, boat charters, overnight camping, and even the chance to join us in exploring someplace new.

Absolutely perfect day trip to eqi glacier with Ivan. We spend a lit longer at the stunning glacier than planned, and because we had time for it and would love to see more of the coastline, we did a lot of detours to explore the coastline on the way back. Ivan is a great guide and super friendly, the trip in the boat really lets you experience the impressing scale og nature.Safety was a top priority, the boat modern and had all possile saftey features and Ivan clearly new how to navigate safely that made it so easy to relax and enjoy. Would definitely choose greenland backcountry again!

Greenland and especially Ilulissat was just surreal and out of this world. Ivan made the experience much more enriched with his familiarity and his positive attitude and wit. Thank you

I went for a whale sightseeing trip and it was fantastic! The guide told us many interesting facts about Greenland, the boat had excellent safety equipment and we spent amazing time searching for whales. And we did find some! The guide was very friendly and helpful arranging what I needed. Outstanding service.

					  We did two tours with Backcountry Greenland and both were spectacular!

Ivan captained our midnight boat tour and Mario did our kayak tour. Both very nice and professional!

Leading up to both of these tours the standout things was that Ivan and Mario were super communicative and flexible about weather and when would be the best time to go out on the groups. They don't just go to go. They want to make sure you have the best time!

Unlike the big group tours like with world of Greenland or something, Backcountry felt like you were just going out with folks you knew already in Ilulissat. Very cool and great to get perspectives from them on how living there is like. 

Both tours were amazing and competitive pricing as well! I highly recommend these guys if you get the chance!

					  Ivan is a great guide, flexible, reliable, helpful. He responds quickly to emails while other company never gave me answers. We booked the midnight sun tour and whale watching and... read more we add kajaking at the very last moment.

The boat is fast and comfortable and  can be close with a canopy. Ivan will give you waterproof suits to stay warm and safe.

We highly recommend Greenland Backcountry!
