In the summer months many species of whales migrate to the cooler waters of the Disko bay area. If you sail in this area in the months of July and August you have huge chances to see these big mammals swimming around and, if you are lucky, jumping out of the water. 

The most common whales that you can meet on the whale safari tour are humpbacks and Fin Whale but also Sei Whale, Blue whale and the Bowhead Whale, known as Greenland Right Whale or Arctic Whale. This last specie spends all of its life in Arctic waters, unlike other whales that migrate for feeding or reproduction.  

Whale Safari Tour

This is a 5 hours tour searching and following whales around Ilulissat. It is also a great opportunity to sail among the thousands of icebergs that float in the bay watching the wonderful greenlandic landscape. If you are lucky and if you look carefully you will also be able to see seals. 

This tour is usually organised when we get information from local fishermen that whales have been seen in the bay. Coffee will be served on board

Note:

- The price includes the trasfer by bus from the accommodation to the harbour and return.

- Lunch should be requested at least one day before the tour date;

- There are a large number of whales in Disko bay waters but we cannot ensure that in 5 hours we will see one. In case that no whale will be seen the tour cost will not be reimbursed.

- Depending on the sea, the weather and the ice conditions Ilulissat Tourist Nature can postpone or cancel the tour without previous notice.
