For 15 years, Explorers’ Corner guides have led successful kayak expeditions to the Sermiliq/Tassilaq Fjord complex in Eastern Greenland. Without exception, all our co-explorers have been amazed by the pristine and natural world there. Join a small group of adventurers who will paddle and hike Greenland’s remote and wild eastern coast in the arctic summer when the arctic flowers are out and the Greenland ground blueberries and mushrooms are plentiful. Along the journey visit local Inuit communities and old Eskimo ruins. And, lastly, enjoy the wild patterns the sun makes in the 24-hour lit sky.

Our expeditionary journeys, beneath high protective mountains towering over deep fjords, have some of the best kayaking conditions in the Arctic. The landscape in Greenland’s remote and wild eastern coast is both beautiful and diverse - dotted with Inuit communities who still sustain their lives in this uncompromising but stunning natural world. Remember it was in these Arctic waters that kayaking was invented. There’s no better way to experience this remote region and its wealth of culture than with Explorers’ Corner.

Our small group of adventurers will paddle and hike where very few Westerners have ever been. We will begin at the western edge of Tassilaq Island and work our way east through an archipelago, ending up at a place near the tiny hamlet of Sermiligaq. The total paddling distance will be about 80—100 nautical miles, depending on the weather and sea conditions.
