Just a short boat ride from Ilulissat, you’ll find Oqaatsut, a small, peaceful settlement where Greenland’s nature, local way of life and warm hospitality take centre stage.
From the midnight sun of summer to snowy winter nights, with the chance to experience the Northern Lights, Oqaatsut offers a glimpse into a side of Greenland few visitors get to experience.

In Oqaatsut, a tiny settlement which is home to around 45 people, you have a rare opportunity to experience Greenland beyond the usual tourist trail. Here, life is shaped by nature, community and the changing seasons. With colourful wooden houses, no roads and nature right outside your door, Oqaatsut offers a genuine glimpse into everyday life in a Greenlandic settlement. This exclusive experience is offered only by Albatros Arctic Circle.

Stay in cosy, newly renovated cabins and enjoy a taste of gourmet dining at Restaurant H8, where local ingredients and Greenlandic flavours are at the heart of the menu. As the day comes to an end, enjoy a glass of Greenlandic coffee, the peaceful silence and views across Disko Bay - beneath the midnight sun in summer or under the dark Arctic sky in winter, with the Northern Lights dancing overhead when conditions are right.

Each season offers its own way of experiencing Oqaatsut. In summer, hike across the Greenlandic tundra, discover the settlement on a guided walk and head out on the water to  catch your own dinner. In winter, travel by boat through the icy waters of Disko Bay, try ice fishing and experience dog sledding before returning to Ilulissat by UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle) through the snow-covered landscape.

A stay in Oqaatsut is an invitation to slow down, be present and connect with Greenlandic nature and local life. It is a chance to experience Greenland in a more intimate way – and to take home memories of a place few visitors ever get to discover.
