Visitors can enjoy river fishing for unique salmon species, explore the backcountry, and witness the mesmerizing sight of icebergs in the Nuuk Icefjord. With cozy accommodations and a relaxed atmosphere, Kapisillit is the perfect place to unplug, recharge, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Greenland's natural surroundings.

Explore the peaceful charm of one of Greenland’s over 60 remote villages with a tour to Kapisiillit, a serene settlement nestled just outside Nuuk. This unique excursion takes you on a boat ride through the stunning Nuup Kangerlua (Nuuk Fjord), the world’s second-largest fjord system, offering incredible views of dramatic landscapes and pristine Arctic nature.

In just a short distance from Nuuk’s urban life, you’ll find yourself surrounded by pure natural beauty, as you journey toward Kapisiillit, a village with around 50 residents. Upon arrival, you’ll take a walk through the village and gain a deeper understanding of life in Greenlandic settlements, where the pace is slower, and community ties are strong. Here, you won’t find buses or cafes, but rather a rare opportunity to experience a way of life untouched by modernity.

A highlight of the tour is a visit to the abandoned village of Qoornoq, which has been uninhabited for about 40 years. Though it’s a ghost town, Qoornoq remains a popular summer destination with several houses still standing or newly rebuilt. Weather permitting, you can even visit the charming church that stands as a testament to the village's past.

On the return journey, you’ll pass by the iconic Sermitsiaq Mountain, where a stunning waterfall cascades down its slopes, offering a perfect backdrop for photos.

Throughout the boat ride, you’ll have the chance to spot whales, seals, and sea birds—with the captain and guide keeping a keen eye out for wildlife. It’s an unforgettable way to connect with Greenland's raw beauty and quiet charm.
