Whales of Greenland

Greenland, especially the city of Aasiaat, is not a place to look for old buildings, narrow streets, or any special historical places. People go to Aasiaat to get acquainted with the magnificent Northern nature. Special and unique. And although some travelers walk on land, most go to the sea to see the giants of the Sea World whales.

Whale watching is an exciting activity. It's beautiful and dangerous at the same time. To get as close as possible to the largest mammal, to see it as close as only scientists have been able to – isn't that a great reason to come to Aasiaat?

There are different ways to go on such an expedition. The easiest way is to buy a group tour to go to the sea with a guide and other tourists on a large boat. Or you can go with local fishermen, who will arrange for you an individual adventure.

Unlike other cities in Greenland, the sea currents passing near Aasiaat create a favorable climate for whales. Therefore, they do not sail far from the coast all year round.

Only there can you see humpback whales or small striped whales. They like to show their guests acrobatic sketches, rising above the water and throwing out their fins with a large amount of spray.

You can see whales in almost every bay of Aasiaat. Therefore, travelers do not have to look for special places. Just choose the time and go to meet these sea giants.

In addition to whales, Aasiaat is famous for offering unlimited opportunities for kayakers. The labyrinth of islands located near the city is an ideal place for this sport. Take a challenging route through narrow island channels or between intricate icebergs that sparkle under the bright sun. This is an opportunity to get an unforgettable experience!
