The Qoornoq Island Tour

The old settlement of Qoornoq

Although Qoornoq is also known as “Bear Island,” the chances of encountering a polar bear these days are very slim. However, the island got its name because it looks like a bear from above.
 

Upon arrival at Qoornoq, you will disembark from the boat and have the chance to explore the abandoned settlement. Once a thriving community, Qoornoq is now a popular summer retreat for the locals of Nuuk.
 

Our boat is equipped with all necessary safety equipment, so you can feel safe and secure throughout the trip. We will also provide a thorough safety and behavior briefing on board, so you can make the most of the trip.
