The birthplace of the Inuit qajaq, Greenland's coastal waters offer the expedition sea kayaker some of the very finest paddling in the World. Whether gliding over a mirror-like fjord at sunset or battling through moving pack ice in stormy, tidal passages, time spent traversing the coastline is not easily forgotten; The wildlife, the thousands of miles of unpopulated wilderness shoreline, the calving glaciers and icebergs and stunning light conditions make for a rich and varied experience.
Although the whole coast is of interest to the sea kayaker, it is the wild and remote East Coast that inspires us most. A combination of an incredible land, sea and icescape together with the ancient Inuit culture that lives on in the region's few tiny settlements has captured our hearts.
The expedition paddlers at Greenland Expedition Specialists offer guided expeditions on the East Coast, as well as support for independent expeditions, including sea kayak hire.
