Even seasoned thru-hikers of the Camino, the Pacific Crest Trail, Laugavegur, or Kungsleden will find the ACT far more difficult, as it is not a well-formed trail.

It can be very hard especially with the narrow trail and the bog!

Yes. Our guided Arctic Circle Trail trips are designed for hikers with previous multi-day trekking experience. The ACT is a remote Arctic route, and this requirement ensures a safe, smooth, and enjoyable experience for the entire group.

If you’re comfortable hiking several days in a row with a backpack and ready for real wilderness adventure, this trip is for you.

We’re proud to be the only local operator offering guided Arctic Circle Tours (ACT).

With our deep local knowledge and authentic stories, we provide an experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

Explore the Arctic with guides who truly know the land, its history, and its hidden gems—making your adventure unforgettable.

Fly with Air Greenland, United Airlines or Iceland Air.

It is preferred to fly from Copenhagen directly to Kangerlussuaq. You also have the option to fly from Iceland/US to Ilulissat and then finally Kangerlussuaq.

Since Nuuk flights are known for their cancellations we highly recommend to choose Kangerlussuaq directly or through Ilulissat.

Seamless transport awaits you right outside your hotel, taking you directly to the starting point of the Arctic Circle Trail.

The reason lunch isn’t included is because we are going to eat multiple snacks with the same calorie count as a freeze-dried meal or more.

It can quickly be uncomfortable to heat up water, hydrate the meal, wait 8 minutes, eat, pack up and continue in the rain & windy conditions without much cover since we don’t have trees in Kangerlussuaq.

That is why it’s better for you to bring the snacks and especially because we in Greenland are very limited with different snacks in case of allergies.

The food weight for 10x breakfast & 10x dinner can weigh up to around 3,1 kg or 6,8 lbs.

The 2p shared tent weighs 1,1 kg or 2,4 lbs with a packed volume of 30 × 15 cm or 12 × 6 in

The shared cooking system (pot, long titanium spoon & burner) weighs 335g or 11,8 oz.

Gas canister weighs around 380 g or 13,4 oz per person.

Yes, but even if we locals drink the water directly, doesn’t mean that your stomach can handle it. So bring a filter with you.

Yes, we offer both vegetarian and vegan food options.
