Kayaking on Lake Ferguson

Paddle on Lake Ferguson in the backcountry of Kangerlussuaq and witness the overwhelming beauty of the Greenlandic nature up close the traditional way - maybe we will even spot a muskox from the kayaks

Kayaking on Lake Ferguson is an incredible way to experience the natural beauty of this area. Being at water level allows us to see the surroundings from a completely new perspective, offering an experience unlike any other.
Lake Ferguson is nestled among stunning mountains, teeming with birdlife, and enveloped in complete tranquility.

Kayaks have been used for over 4,000 years by the Inuit—and were, in fact, invented by them! During the tour, our guide will share the rich history of kayaking in Greenland. Hearing stories of how the Inuit have survived and thrived using kayaks, while being in our own, offers a unique insight into the strength and skill this way of life demands. Imagining hunting on icy waters from a kayak is an experience that inspires nothing but profound respect.

All our instructors are experienced kayakers and are trained to handle the safety on the water should anything happen. We have a strict guideline for when we can proceed with a tour in terms of wind- and swell conditions. All of our gear and equipment is high quality brands like Kokatat, Hiko and Lightning Paddles, and are made for Arctic conditions too.

The excursion takes five hours in total, where four hours are on the water in the kayaks.

If there is an uneven number of guests, the instructor decides which of the guests will be in a single kayak. All other guests will be in a tandem kayak, regardless of kayaking experience. If you have booked the excursion as 1 person, you will be placed in a tandem kayak with another guest.
