Hiking through rugged mountains and valleys, surrounded by pristine wilderness, offers a sense of tranquility and adventure that is hard to find elsewhere. Kayaking in Greenland has a rich history dating back over 4000 years.

In Greenland, the kayak became essential for hunters and is a symbol of adaptability to the land.
