Tours in Nuuk - Fishing trip in The Nuuk Fjord

Fishing trip in The Nuuk Fjord

Hop aboard and feel the adrenaline of deep-sea fishing in the majestic Nuuk Fjord!

Even if you normally don't have the patience for fishing, you’ll be hooked by the excitement as the jigging line shoots toward the bottom – and suddenly… there’s a bite! (very often, but not always)Is it a battle-ready cod or a shimmering redfish tugging on the hook? One thing is certain: the chances of bringing home a delicious catch are high.

Fishing is a cornerstone of Greenlandic culture, both as a livelihood and as a passion. And now it’s your turn to experience it. We provide fishing gear, the most breathtaking surroundings, and our crew is ready to assist with help, tips, and good cheer all the way through.

Are you ready to find out if there’s a true fisherman in you? Book your trip with us today.

NOTE:
Please be aware that you must have a valid fishing license during your stay in Greenland. It is possible to purchase one at the post office in Nuuk. You can read more about it by clicking here.

Me and my friend have joined ‘ Qoornoq Island Tour’ in the beginning of April. It was absolutely magical experience and highly recommend! During the whole trip we had wonderful weather and the captain of the boat also told us about history of Greenland. The staff was also very nice! Thank you so much for your generous hospitality and also warm drinks on the boat ☕️

We had the most spectacular experience with Greeland Cruises on a whale safari in August 2024. Be aware that their terms of service specify that you can not get a refund after purchase regardless of how long in advance you ask for it. So I recommend ordering tickets only if you are certain you can make it. We booked 1 day in advance. Aside from the administrative downsides, Greenland Cruises provided a wonderful experience with 3 hours of whale watching. We were lucky enough to spot the giants before the trip even began, and we ended up seeing 3 or 4 unique whales. The captain made sure we had the best time and got us very close to one of the whales, which was the highlight of the experience. Very nice and informative crew. Do not get discouraged by the weather. There was thick fog and cloudy in Nuuk, and it had recently rained, but we did not experience any issues on the boat as it did not impact the tour (see videos) I highly recommend Greenland Cruises for this experience.
